Same old chit here.Let a few bash el norte.


Educamate me.
First question: Isn't this entire hemisphere comprised of Americans?
I am glad some people with education, rather than idiots who are escaping from who knows what, are seeking knowledge.
People forget about the Spaniards who came and "converted" the indiginous folks in this part of the world.
All due respect, to those that deserve it, I'll end this with: " the more I drink, the more narrow minded some seem(and seem to lose thier ability to spell)."

Gracias Don Jimmy


I think thats all that needs to be said here. I have kept silent, reasons obvious! When my son in law started a "Big Horn Sheep Hunt" I wanted to hunt him myself!After much anger and questions, I discovered that the were "culling" which is taking only the very old an/or sick from the herds. I always thought that was done by nature. I have to say I'm still not sure,but the locals that live in the Gigantas and live on what they can, agree that if the Bighorn Sheep can survive and be"culled" and they get paid for their hard earned ,mountain climbing,extremely life challenging experiences, and in the process keep the stong sheep protected and alive,Then they won't have the need to kill whatever sheep comes in to shooting sight?I'm not promoting anything but just thinking about this.I am not too sure I should post this but ,here it is. Maybe It will get "deleted"?

Ah, name calling.


I don't think anyone has forgotten about the Spaniards. At least not the families that are descended from them. These are the same ones that are "questioning" the american and "beaurocratic" style of "progress".
Which is what they were actually getting away from originally when they stayed here.
Perhaps if we lived to be older, healthier and sang on our everyday walks, our ways would be a little more enticing for them.
Until then, I wouldn't call anybody in the mountains of Baja an "american".
