Off to Hot Climes

(and hoping not to return home a fierce invalid)

For my faithful readers... both of you... I will be gone for the next couple of weeks visiting my children in South America, Argentina to be exact. There I hope to answer many of those questions that have plagued humankind from the beginning of rational thought (sometime in the mid 1960s):

Do the toilets really flush backwards in the southern hemisphere?

Is it "Argentinian", "Argentine", or "Argentinean"? Or is it simply just "here" when you are there?

Does Argentina really not need to cry for Evita?

If I see a toucan, do I get Frootloops?

And does Mendozan wine really taste better in Mendoza?

The answers to these and many other questions await!
