'preciate! The best I can do is sweep up after Sir Thomas and Superalex and try and form the sweepings into something mildly amusing. I'm not done with the broshoor, I'm just too busy to give it the attention it deserves. My wife was laughing till tears came to her eyes on Thomas' latest. International Travel is such an...educational experience. It appears that folks south-o-the-border have a mental picture of every North American as kind of a Danny DeVito type character with tens of thousands of dollars, and it never fails that when I am across the border, I somehow manage to upset people just by showing up. The wildest part is how it's assumed that if I don't lavish cash on every urchin that spots me and wants to sell me a stuffed iguana or some tire sandals for 50 bucks American, I am The Devil. I went to the University of Mexico for about 10 minutes one time in 1970, jeans and hair down to here, and almost got lynched. Go figure. I found out later that had I claimed I was from Canada, I would have been fine. You just have a maple leaf sticker in view and say "eh" after everything. Simple. Only place I ever lived in the U.S. where I was considered an evil furriner was Hawaii. Never been to the middle east, but I hear that's the most fun you can have.
