wow - i wish i understood this - but i have nothing to latch hold of for help - are you referring
to something in the article you sent? i could not read it to understand it - you are speaking to a uno-lingual gringo - what is boudeville-thrilling way? old logics? material desapego?
wow - i'm thoroughly confused!

[Arcadia]

Ey, gringo-mingo?! : article plus media in general plus living experience plus "History" plus some sort of eclectic interpretative playing (but that was wednesday´s theory... today I don´t know..., I guess I´ll have to ask both to Baudrillard & Baudelaire! )

[the mingo]

Good Morning Veronica! lost in the woods here - i love it! ok & thank you - loved the part (that was Wednesday's theory ) YES! just how it goes for me too !!

nothing from you since christmas - since christmas - really? you disappear into the Andes?
I've googled Rosario but no matter how close I get I can't see you from the satellite - should I be worried? Well, I'm gonna have an english muffin & a cup of tea while I consider this sad state of affairs ....

[Arcadia]

Hey, Mingo & s-trucking! don´t panic...!! It has been Enero last month, (my vacation´s month) and I´ve been in Uruguay & Brasil refreshing my sea-celular memory, plus I´ve been here a week and a half with random electricity and computer problems, nothing serious!!!!!
Now I´m ready to face again the job, the newspaper´s news, the medical controls and even the odontologist ...!!!

and yeah, s-trucking, for moments s-8 can seem something like a men´s club, but fortunately it´s not! (But I agree with you: It would be great to read again the old female s-8 friends...!).

[the mingo]

hey hey!! so you were off all kicked back recreating? Hope it was pleasant & warm - been frigid up here in Gringolandia - there's polar bear tracks in my yard - ok you're back! all is right with the world! Hope you had a good vacation!

[Hypatia]

Happy to see you back.

Argentina was in the news here all last week.

As Argentine Peso Falters, President Keeps a Low Profile
New York Times ‎- 4 days ago
BUENOS AIRES — As Argentines stew over a currency crisis that has shaken markets around the world, many residents here are asking the same question: Where is the president?

President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner spoke in public just once in the six weeks before the currency plunge last week that set off global concerns about the fragility of developing economies. As her country’s currency began its slide, she spoke about a subsidy for schoolchildren instead.

Then, after the steepest drop in the Argentine peso since the country’s economy collapsed over a decade ago, Mrs. Kirchner steered clear of the turmoil yet again, flying to Cuba for a summit meeting. Once there, she avoided mentioning the simmering crisis almost entirely, opting to send Twitter messages about meeting Fidel Castro’s grandchildren. Only later did she post a few Twitter messages attributing Argentina’s market upheaval to “speculative pressures” by unnamed economic groups and banks.

nothing to do with nothing I just like this song.

Now, I don't mind chopping wood. And I don't care if the money's no good Just take what you need and leave the rest but they should never have taken the very best

The Band Lyrics

The Ascent of Money and the descent of man and I am still crazy giving it all away,

[Arcadia]

Mingo: Uruguay was wild landscape and warm-fresh awakening, Brasil was beautiful & hot, as usual, with a perfect sea for my sea-water-temperature-liking! I read in the last days about freezing storms still up there, keep warm!!!!

S-trucking: I´ll passed through the last dictatorship, the Malvinas war, the military rebellions, the 1989 crisis, the Menem goverment, the 2001 crisis ... despite I´m older and a bit more bored about all these jazz now, I´ll passed through this too, don´t worry..! (and yeah, be prepared to eventually read more "news" about my country... )

Gracias for the beautiful song!!!!!!!!

Francis keeping his Argentine pass port, I liked that.

I know what Argentina has passed through mi amiga. All I we got to fear in America is ourselves.

warm day in south texas
a rural scene silence distant barking
breeze flutters papers tacked to the wall
happy motoring
happy trails
happy landings
I hope your summer goes well

[Arcadia]
