But all in all the country as a whole, especially Argentina, can use it.  Don't know if you have read the news reports about the cattle industry is suffering in both countries because of the drought.

Most excellant movie

It's rare for me to give a move that rating, as my ratings go there are:

5 minute movies: I can only watch 5 minutes of it

Suffer movies: Not exactly a 5 minute movie but I'll suffer through it

OK: Better than a suffer movie, it was OK

Meh: (See OK)

Pretty Good: I enjoyed it

Most Excellant: Two thumbs up and will watch it twice.

What movie was that?  The HBO flick with Kevin Bacon - Taking Chance

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1019454/

Look, I know, liberal media slant aside and all of that, but it really was a good movie.  As a former Marine I found it technically superb, Kevin bacon played a Marine Lt. Colonel perfectly.

Roach Coach Sunday

Huh? Roach Coach, fast food on wheels! Here is Wikipedia's definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_truck
So when I get home after church I like to take a walk to Parque Rodo where the Sunday ferria is set up. There are a few hamburguesa an dpancho roach coaches, around 3 or 4 that do business there. I can get a hamburguesa and Coca Cola for about 70 pesos (Around $3). The hanburgers are not like what you would get at McDonalds. It comes with a strip of ham along with the hamburger patty, but usually no cheese. They also have a lareg assortment of condiments, but this is where I learned all roach coaches are not the same! I realized the one I went to today only had a few items to pick from while the one a litle bit further away had a large assortment of condiments.

Usually if you are waiting by a roach coach you are going to get approached by kids asking for money. I was really surprised by the two little girls that asked me for money today as I couldn't have told them apart from any other kid with their parents, clean and clean newer looking clothes, thats not to say the clothes could have been donated and they were poor.

I always drop a couple of peso coins in the bag of this crippled guy with a froggy voice. He walks with crutches and has a bag around his neck that he jingles occassionally so you get the idea where to drop the money. I also see him at the Saturday ferria as well. I always say "Here you go amigo", for whatever reason.

Oh, I see a young guy trying to give away a baby kitten, it's been done buddy! LOL!
