That said, I'm not voluntarily walking through that kind of crap ever again!
I have a former colleague who was in Noriega's military. After his fall my buddy started flying different gigs. One was flying out to remote villages to bring Indians into the city for medical treatments that required a hospital. He told me there is a good number of people that go into the Gap every year and never make it back.

I don't see the allure of going there.
I really wished you would post more. I read most of your posts in the voice of Ron Swanson.

This all day long.
