Axis Reflections
A Tale of Two Lands

Editor's Commentary:

Mi camarada, Les Blough, has finally returned to civilization.

After far too long in the United States visiting family and friends (and especially his lovely daughters), he has made it safely back to his home in Venezuela. I, for one, breathe a sigh of relief every time he gets back to La Victoria after spending time in Hades. I'm anxious when he's gone, and I worry about him because the US has to be the most insane nation on earth where any number of horrible things can happen to someone who's just minding his own business.

So welcome home, mi amigo. I thought the note you sent should be shared ... and I'm not even going to chew you out for typing THE WHOLE DAMN THING IN CAPS so that I had to retype it all. See what I'm willing to put up with for you??
