For a long time my friend Juan Pablo Pozzi has told me that Argentine's have the biggest ego.
I said to him, "No, impossible, can you prove this to me." "Si, Bill, I will ask you one question. Do you know how an Argentine commmits suicide?" "No, how?" "He jumps from his ego!!!"

But just today I learned that is not the best test.

I was walking up the mountain that rises above Santiago, Chile, with a friend. I traveled all the way to Santiago and met a frined who said we must walk to the top of the mountain, climb the Cordillera de Los Andes, and we stayed for two hours, sipping a grand Malbec, eating some good salami, and looking at Santiago the Chilean Capital city. After a while, I ask him, Chapo what were you looking at all this Time? The cabron looks at me, with tears in his eyes, and says: How ugly Santiago looks without Me !!!

BTW How is your knee behaving, Bill ?

Martin, thanks for asking. Poco a poco. The pain is easing off and I am getting around fairly well. Not ready to keep up with Juan as yet. I think it will be worth it once it all comes together.
