Andybob;
Why does your account have to be balanced? Just write from your perspective. I'd be interested in reading your accounts also.
Incidently, I ran into a Cuban a number of years ago while me and a freind were out shooting our FAL's.
He pulled back his shirt and showed me an entry and exit wound/scar/healed hamburger and simply said "Rhodesia".
He didn't speak English and I don't speak much Spanish but I knew exactly what he was trying to explain to me about my FAL.
