Feliz Día del Amigo!

GoodAirs friend Petre sends his smokesignaled wishes for a happy Day of the Friend. "Day of the Friend?" you ask (or at least you do if you don't live down here). If Wikipedia is accurate, it started in Latin American countries, most heavily here in the Cono Sur (Southern Cone) as a way to turn the first moon landing (July 20, 1969) into an international day of friendship. Pretty much everyone emails or calls his friends (it supposedly got so nutty last year that parts of the mobile phone network went down) and tonight goes to dinner with the best of them. This, we're told, can comically lead to friendship breakups when people go to dinner with their best three friends and friend #4 doesn't make the cut. Wonderfully, this day hasn't yet been fully "Hallmarkized"--it feels like people actually just enjoy it. So Feliz Día del Amigo!
