being able to make a good decision comes from having many years of experience.
most experience comes from many years of Bad decisionsDanO - 4-14-2006 at 07:11 PM
Hey, I'm still perfectly capable of making bad decisions! How about this -- I needed to change a flat for a spare last week on a rocky patch and
needed something flat and stable as a base for the jack. Usually I have a piece of 2x6 in the truck for this purpose, but some knucklehead (me) went
off and used it to mount a solar charged light on the house. So what do I scrounge up? A couple of pieces of tile (seemed sturdy at the time, but I
was in a hurry, dammit). As luck would have it, the tile disintegrated just after I'd slipped the spare on and had hand tightened one lug nut, so
disaster was averted. Am I smarter now? We'll find out next time!bajalera - 4-15-2006 at 10:10 AM
Okay, Bruce, but having many years of experience doesn't guarantee that someone will make good decisions.bajarich - 4-15-2006 at 10:23 AM
Experience is largely what kills mountain climbers. They have years of experience but take something for granted that they have done a thousand times
and it's adios. They still have to pay attention to details.jerry - 4-15-2006 at 11:20 AM
its just like vagas you gotta win more then you loose
not to be said you have to make a good desision more offten then a bad one just that the total outcomes has to be better
thus the end result + --
and that doesnt really count cause it aint over yet if your still breathing injoy the ride
have a good one jerryjerry - 4-15-2006 at 11:23 AM
P.S. i think the inability of making a desision is a lot worse

I can tell you with great certainty that you should never seek the advice of a panjandrum.DanO - 4-15-2006 at 11:57 AM
The experience of mountain climbers leading to their deaths is similar to the fact that the majority of automobile accidents occur within a mile of
the drivers' homes. You drive the same route so many times, it becomes second nature and you get careless. And it's not just accidents that occur as
a result. The most irritating example of this sort of carelessness was one day last year when I pulled out of my driveway, drove around the corner
and was putting on my seatbelt in the middle of the next block when a cop pulled me over: "Sir, that seatbelt should've been buckled before you put
your truck in gear." Fortunately, my wife still takes the cake for what may be the lamest ticket ever -- blowing the stop sign in front of the police
station on the north end of Ensenada. They just waved her in from the steps in front.Bruce R Leech - 4-15-2006 at 12:23 PM

you are right Jerry the inability of making a decision is the worst thing a person can have. we have all seen people with this affliction and it is
sad indeed.backninedan - 4-15-2006 at 12:34 PM
I have two opinions on this subject but can decide which one to use.
decisions....decisions!

Indecision is the key to flexibility.Paula - 4-15-2006 at 04:57 PM
I can't even decide whether to post on this thread or not
Decision or indecision?

You decide!
Good Ideas!

1. Speed limits in Mexico rarely, if ever, should be exceeded. Sure, it may look okay, but the roads are unforegiving;
2. Traffic signs and signals ought to be obeyed, even if the locals don't. Possible exception: In La Paz, stop signs are pretty much "yield"
signs and traffic lights are optional. Try to get the pace of what the locals do in traffic and go with the flow. Otherwise, follow the rules. One
way streets are not always marked. Look for the direction the parked cars are headed for a clue.Paula - 4-15-2006 at 06:59 PM
Panjandrum?
what's that mean?Bruce R Leech - 4-15-2006 at 07:07 PM
Word of the Day for Tuesday November 23, 2004
panjandrum \pan-JAN-druhm\, noun:
An important personage or pretentious official.
Needless to say, when governors and ministers and the panjandrums of British public life asked these appointed advisers and those from whose ranks
they were largely drawn for their views on democratic development, they gave the answers that might have been expected.
-- Christopher Patten, East and West
And so I have appointed myself the chairman, High Panjandrum, Grand Inquisitor -- and sole member -- of a grievance committee of my own making.

People are getting fair and balanced news, I see. Makes one want to pervulgate some patavinity of Mulege, although having paraskevidekatriaphobia I
cannot work at those times...and I am no parisologist, and certainly not a companion of panjandrums.
huh?????

usually the best decision is to "go" to baja. usually made after much indecision as to when to launch and where to land...
