    Well...

    This will hopefully teach the likes of Raúl Jofré González..., Edwin Dimter Bianchi..., Nelson Haase Mazzei..., Ernesto Bethke Wulf..., Juan Jara Quintana..., Hernán Chacón Soto and Shicuréo de la Dehesa, Viña y Cerro Nevado to be a bit more careful when breaking them eggs to cook their omelettes...

    Vincit Omnia Veritas...
    Capisce...?

    We're enjoying the city, especially with our youngest grandchild, we're currently baby sitting...

    Although I still miss our former home, I'm growing accustomed to our apartment.

    Madame actually is planning to join me in organizing the garden in Panquehue, which is pleasant - I assume...

    Meanwhile, although many continue to tell TALL TALES about 1973, such as...

    “The first time Lelia Pérez felt the sear of a cattle prod it was at the hands of a Chilean soldier. She was a 16 year old high school student, used as a guinea pig to help Pinochet’s security services hone their skills in torture. They didn’t even bother to ask any questions.”

    What a tale......

    Hmmmmm...
    - Let's try to extract some useful information and meaning from the above text..., without using no cattle prod...

    a) The Captain feels out of place in that whitish, pseudo-scandinavian sterility of his new Dehesa dwelling and..., understandably..., misses the stagnant green-graysh bacterial nutrient broth of the Chicuréo lagoon...

    b) The Captain continues his natural process with his sweet, omnipresent mantis religiosa frenchie... (Just a bit envious ;-)

    c) The Captain seems frustrated of being born too late and too westwards.., which precluded him of participating in the true pleasures enjoyed by our Argie Officers & Gentlemen derived from their inventive combination of cattle prods & metal anal beads...

    Epilogo...:
    - ”El ( Capitán ) necesitó setenta y cinco años -los setenta y cinco años de su vida, minuto a minuto- para llegar a ese instante. Se sintió puro, explícito, invencible, en el momento de responder: -Mierda...”
    (G. G. M. 1956)

    Capisce...?

    With all considerable respect - you already know my achieved rank upon retirement - but it's not worth reminding you.

    Frankly I'm still in a marvelous mood as my knees still remain undamaged after a sustainable stressed skiing holiday.

    I still do consider my health, as life always is uncertain for all of us...

    Madame's medical remission is a reminder just how important we all should cherish each day we've been blessed...

    You are correct that I do often feel out of place in our in our “pseudo-scandinavia” gypsy encampment and do prefer our humble adobe home instead...

    My sincere worries (outside of our family) is the economic crisis we now face due to the stupidity of world leadership.

    * * *

    Anyway my current thoughts are to our vegetable garden plans and the upcoming 18th national holiday.

    Hermanito...

    a) My knees kindly asked me to stop with Alpine already in the sixties..., after those bloody Look Nevada N17's of mine failed to release... :-(

    b) Life certainly is uncertain for all of us..., but...
    - I would dare to say that it was waaaaaay more “uncertain” for Victor Jara (RIP) than for Hernán Chacón Soto (RIP) in that September of 1973...

    c) “Stupidity of World Leadership”..., ya' say...
    - I'll assume ya're talking 'bout the Anglo & Lapdogs World Leadership...

    Saludos...

    MARKER binders has been much to my success: “Stürze sind unvermeidbar, Verletzungen minimierbar” (“Falls are unavoidable, injuries can be minimized”)

    Just as been my successful survival with Madame when she's on a warpath...
