G'xine suffered a tragic accident en route to Nicaragua and thus had to be replaced with a new, improved g'nome who will appear in pics from the Nic hilariously eating some kind of corn-looking food from a sack. We sent him off in style with a going away party (and by "we" I mean me, alone in my apartment taking pictures of a porcelain gnome figurine and chuckling to myself). You can see pics here: http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=6ro274n.7gc1a6x3&x=1&y=-wu1u94
