Gordon Bandola Good one Stan--sounds so exciting and primitive--really is an adventure and an education you could only get by being there. Sounds like something that even the Great White Hunter could not do alone.....Gordon

C I feel for you. Layovers are painful. Good luck! Can't wait to see you and hear all the stories when you get back.

William Washburn Dear Stan: Thank you for your insightful, colourful descriptions of world you've been exploring. I look forward to your oral elaborations of what you have written. In the meantime, please keep observing, keep safe, and good luck! Bill W.

Bill Washburn Dear Stan: Thanks for your beautifully designed messages from Brazil. It's especially good to know that you are avoiding the criminal aspects of life in Brazil and are finding the rest of life there interesting.

Dorothy Fitzgerald So enjoying your blog! I had to catch up on a few.....loving every read!

C It is about time I get some recognition! And I'm happy to know you actually listened to me. I wasn't positive all my nagging paid off but I'm glad it did. And I'm even happier that you ended up using them. Hope you are feeling better.

C Have fun with the laundry. Hope the sheets work well for you. Here at home we are celebrating one month today. You'll be here in time for month number 2.

C Say hi to L and L for me!
