I am a Latin America-ist, whatever that means.

The primary purpose of this blog is to point out news and events not covered by traditional media.

This blog is my first-hand observation and analysis of Americas news and events.

People throughout the region have odd misconceptions of each other – even of neighboring countries. I enjoy analyzing these oddities and looking at events that have special meaning to me.

Private emails discussing blog content are encouraged. Trolls are actively discouraged! Content and opinions are my own – if you dislike them, and by extension dislike me, please be at peace and kindly read something else.
