The focus is on Mexico this turn as El Presidente Kai is rumored to be passing the reins to… a Canadian!  So let’s take a moment to welcome the new leader of Mexico, Esdras Menard…  Ok on 3, everybody say… “Welcome Señor Esdras”… 1.. 2.. 3!

NEXT:  Spring 08, due Monday 11/24, 10am Pacific!
SUMMER:  Retreats 08 will be due Wed 11/26, 10am Pacific

Then we have Thanksgiving in the US, and many players will be unavailable Thu/Fri, so let’s knock Spring and Summer out by next Wed.
