Re: weekend chores

    It is odd how people think of other cultures. I remember being in Peru
and listening to some American tourists complain about not getting food just

Vaguely remember  something about some great white hunter in the jungle. Of
course there were a lot of those guy in the Jungle series including Tarzan.
Actually met Johnny Wisemuler once. More impressive on film!
