It always surprises me to find people are amazed Mexicans are "native" to
this continent... just not what is defined as the continental U.S. Those
are our defined borders, not the natural ones. Having said that, I do enjoy
reading Smithsonian magazine. They don't make you jump from page 5 to page
15 to finish reading an article
The articles are contiguous, just turn
the page. Someone here will get the joke. <G>
