Hi, Hilmar.

How sad that our countries always suffer the same kind of problems over and over. As Jim, I also suspect the IMF hand behind all this...

How was your trip to Buenos Aires? I came back just a moment ago. It seems incredible that after you asked me a couple weeks ago about the rain and I told you that it wasn't raining too much, this week we had one of the worst rain seasons in many years. 8-(

You see, weather is not my business.

Best luck on your return home,
