Hey Jake,

You got me mad twice last days......

The best part of the tale was told by Richard McCrea, here my thanks to him by interpreting what I couldn't say intuitively as perfect as he did it.

The second and last joke was when Wj tells us : ' Rafael or his translation program'...... I'm laughing like never before,¿ believe me !

In fact and don't use any translation service nor 'spellling checker' at all.

All by hand, I used to do 'proofreading work' for a publishing firm.

Remember when asked to a a resident of a former German Democratic Republic city (DDR) , offering on an auction, a Microtech Gefell 'mikrofon' , btw and old actual Neumann mike.

Then was told 'Please don't use German Google translation service, cause your 'german message' was absolute gibberish for me... :)

Guess the only part distinguishable should be 'Auf Wiedershen'

BTW, does it exist such service without paying a human translator ?

Hope you understand I have a panoramic global view of our planet, I fully understand your language and culture, enough to apply for residence or nationality, not like many, i.e. NYC that have people for 20 years just knowing the signs for driving back home :)

When playin' with Google Earth, and enjoy all 'our villages' beyond of technical borders so don't care where somebody was determined to live by destiny, should be in America, Europa, Africa, Australia or Asia.

In fact flying from Buenos Aires to Miami, thru AeroPeru (rewards points lost and one roundtrip ticket gone after airline bankcruptcy) I was flying over Cuba, was a civil 767 airplane , a legal flight...you know the matter...he,

I got amazed how big the 'isle' was to my eyes as long how close of Miami they were, unless from the air.......and couldn't see any border between Haiti and Dominican Republic, the lands discovered by Cristofaro Colombo (aka Colon, or Columbus) before limits were established.

So , let's talk as inhabitants of a the same continent yes we consider ourserlves as 'Latinos + Americanos' despite living in the southern hemisphere.

My sons, now in their 20's didn't know black ethnicity, until they visit Brazil and Northern California so for anybody here it's not common to think in a future President of N.A. coming from a minority.

Despite that local polls results (we don't vote there I know Jake, huh..) give to Democrat party as clear winner, it's a fact not an opinion eh ?

We say that we don't have racial problems (except indigenous massacred people in late 1800's , same as in the North, but in XX we're prone by history to pacific racial coexistence.

BTW a have a 'Chino ' nephew , after he was adopted by my brother in law working as Bible translator in Asia.

It's known Jewish community out of Israel is 2nd to the States.

We know that telling 'I have a Jewish friend' is sometimes regarded as discrimination by themselves, as a proof that they can be considered like 'different'.

Excellent people to deal with, mainly in wholesale business you know, usually with strong ethics business rules so I go confident when buying in their zone known as 'ONCE' (on'seh, means 'eleven' in Spanish).

Let's say that being multicultural is not a rare coin these days, not far from the 60's days when President Kennedy had to send troops to Montgomery, AL

Do you know anything about Argies ?

let me say that we usually have low profile, despite being largest soy producer and one of the world's food exporters.

Despite being 7th largest country and Buenos Aires, 10th largest city all over the world, don't know if somebody will know all the trivia about, i.e. 'Leonel Messi footobal worldwide star in Beijing.
ARG has been winning several coups of collective sports , being twice olympic champions in football (aka soccer, something impossible to discern for a 'translator'), Olympics basketball winner , Athens 2004, bronze in Beijing (Manu Ginobili of San Antonio Spurs can't play the last event ), a long list that includes hockey rugby and Juan Manuel Fangio 5 times worldchampion with F1 racings,..... weird for a country that speaks Spanish as many should think about.

Furthermore, an Argentine citizen, Sr. Angel Cabrera won Golf US Open 2007 so understand perfectly Christian Schonberger claims about being 'kidding' German people over and over, with sins of the past, when they have many things to be proud nowadays.

I invite mutually to carry on our talks within limits, preferably our loved duet : Hammond and Leslie !

Why not enjoy our plural views and keep our music being heard?

I'm glad cause yesterday was invited joining to the only band here that makes tribute to Santana, so after my rig leaving home, I'll keep you posted after we got a demo CD.

Sincerely

Rafael :)
