I was very pleased that Goa net Issue 112 arrived....several days ago I received 105 .....Is there any possibility of getting the outstanding 7 numbers There is a rumour stating that they were mistakenly sent to Albania and Bolivia...the extremist in my group state they were sent to Ukraine...However. .My uncle on Mars states that I should be patient .... However my interest in Literature, including Greek literature reminds me that my uncle may be biased ....You see Mars (Mavors or Mamers) is an old Italian fertility god who came to be known as Gradivus, the strider, and the GOD of WAR. Although usually taken to be the equivalent of the Greek war god ARES Mars was well-liked and honored by the Romans, unlike Ares vis à vis the ancient Greeks. etc etc
Sorry old habits die hard Needs to go to the supermarket and buy at least two MARS bars.....The HINDU genes in me remind me that *SKANDA *, the Hindu god of war, is worshipped under many names, as Karttikeya ....No wonder tis Goan is so confused Grandolfo Just out of interest ,,,doe the Goan word AARE originate from the Greek ARES.....
