Thread: I'm baaaaaack! And crispy!

Made it back from Baja Mexico somewhat unscathed - ok , burned to a crisp. We froze our butts off in Ensenada, only about 100 mi south of San Diego, but actually colder and more windy - and overcast!

About the third day, packed up the car and headed to San Felipe on the warm Sea of Cortez...aka Gulf of California. About a 30 degree difference - yes, freezing to frying, all the time on twisty, windey Mexican roads shared with Mexican truck drivers who clearly don't understand the fundamentals of centripital force. I thought I was going to be a mere spatter in some deep ravine countless times. The last time I was this scared on a road was in Haiti over 20 years ago - those people are CRAZY on the road. If anyone can tell me how to post pictures, I will.

Ah well, only have a few days to prep for a consultant's convention in Las Vegas next week, New York in a month and Guatemala later this summer! Yeow!

Missed you all

Aim nothing!!! Those guys were in BIG commercial trucks on little roads, we just in a lil' ole' Nissan Altima. A mere smear on their grill. It just kept going though my mind "no air evac...no air evac".......it could give you nightmares...

I hear Italian drivers are that bad too...what do you say Naval?

You totally missed my little attempt at humor there, Jane, but that's okay. I'm very used to the fact that women don't pay attention to anything guys have to say.

***I'll be entering the witness relocation program right about....... NOW!***

You wound me Racefan, I am pleading wine and fatigue. I do get it now. I won't miss you again!!! LOL

Wine and fatigue are elements to which I can't relate. Now beer and fatigue on the other hand....

Poop, I forgot - I entered the relocation program and my new name is Elmo J. McGillicutty. Damn, I wasn't supposed to tell you that, either. Watch yor back, Jane, you may know too much at this point. LOL

Got that name in my little book...I mean....WHO? I don't think we've met. I'm off to bed before I say too much.

***Any ya'll got Kevlar for sale?***

Kevlar? Here in the south we call it a fifth of JD - makes you impervious to pain.

Welcome back Terri!

Sounds like you had a great time! See you around when the wine and fatigue have worn off, well a little at least!

Had tons of work since I got back. And the hubby found this perfectly addicting piece of software from Google that partners with satellite technology, great for travellers and geography buffs (I think I just let my inner nerd out). This is just too cool. I even found my house, right down to the cars in the driveway!!!

He's probably really a midget with mounds of unruly body hair.

Would explain the endless nights searching the happening hot-spots and nothing more than hangovers to report.......

LOL.Whoops!

The only things that can fully rid yourself of an ex are illegal everywhere in the US except West Virginia:

"I was cleaning it and it went off, officer."

"And it hit her two miles from your house, sir?"

"It appears to be a powerful weapon, officer."

"Sure does. Be more careful next time, okay?"

"I sure will, officer, have a nice day."

And to think I am actually going to be returning to Florida.

(I think my CWP expires next year.....)

Yup! My Generals are worthy!

I'm not real sure what a CWP is, but odds are that a hot shower and some salve will knock it right out.

Oh! Have I ever mentioned that I think you're a valuable addition to this forum and that I think all-star should name his kids after you?

General.....methinks you have been up too late again!

Allstar's kids? WOW. Visual overload!

(can you imagine a tribe of furry little people running around? like those tedd-bear things in Star Wars....blurry-eyed from fetal alcohol syndrome and all!)
LOLOL... thanks, tho. It's a good place to be.....

And I agree, Lieutenant. Actually, it's not the too late but the too many that causes problems. LOL

LMAO at you both.

Vasili and Race - LOL

I'll take that 5th of JD

Did you bring a straw?
We decided that we'd just plop the bottle in front of the lady's to free up their hands.....
<winking like someone with turets>

This is truly fun to watch, I do have JD right here. No straw just bottle!
