[quote]Originally posted by Tedster: [b]You guys are heading into summer down there, aren't you? What's the approx latitude of Asuncion, Paraguay?[/b][/quote] Hey Tedster! You know, I don't know the approx latitude, hehe! To give you an idea, though, our standard timezone is UTC/GMT -4 hours, but since we are in daylight savings, it's UTC/GMT -3 hours...and close to the Argentinian border, you pretty much cross the river and you're in Argentina. Nice little city...beat up though, because of the financial trouble the whole country has been dragging intself into, especially for the last few years... Juergen

Journalism, yes; fiction, yes; poetry, yes. Lyrics, no. This is the part of my brain designed to torture me into eventual insanity. Ah well. ;) And thanks for the compliment. - Jeff

[/b][/quote] That was very profound, very visually and emotionally evocative. If you have such verbal insight in a poetic sense it would be easy enough to turn such things into lyrics. That really is great; an emotionally hard truth congealed into simple words tied to a memorable visual, also one that I'm not exactly sure has been placed in a song before? I could be wrong, regardless, very clever....
