Assorted comments:

1. Thank you for using "roshambo" correctly. (Most people use the South Park definition, which drives me crazy)
2. Big Pink - the only gum with the breath-pinkening power of ham!
3. It is indeed amusing that all the old ladies also chew gum
4. Re: "shot" birth control. I have a friend who uses it, although she has an excuse: most of the other kinds of birth control have bad interactions with all the other medication she is on.

Unrelated: Last week, I heard a story on the radio about bus drivers in Guatemala...apparently upwards of 70 have been killed on the job this year. Presumably most of that is in the capital, but still, that is pretty scary! Apparently "failure to pay protection money" is a capital offense. :(
