Yes speaking as a member of the media, though I hate that term because it lumps legitimate journalists in with the most revolting trash tabloids, it's true the media loves crime. You know why? PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT. Personally I never watch TV news because it sickens me. Their motto is "If it bleeds, it leads." But everybody wants to know about crime in their area, me included. Also, who can help being fascinated by freak shows like Anna Nicole?

However I didn't mean to reply to get on a soapbox, I actually wanted to ask if there's any new news on Raquel's death. I enjoyed her cooking in Bahia and am wondering what's up with the motel and how Larry is doing?? It makes me sad to think of violent death reaching that lovely peaceful community and also makes me frightened about driving the highway. I wish I could assure myself that it wasn't just random violence that is going to strike me and my family next time we go down there, which is actually next week!




If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. Henry David Thoreau

A group of nine of us were down in BOLA two weeks ago. Drove from San Deigo, no problems had a great time. There was major road work being done in town and the sails were up. A new Pemex is going in at the north end of town.
We fished with Joel and I did inquire if there was any news regarding Rachel's murder. The response was no news but reported that they had noticed a drop in visitors since Rachel's death.
Go and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank God they got that guy. Another lunatic freak with a gun. I loved going to that dessert place by the park in San Diego. Lots of really nice people there. This incident was really horrible. :mad:

Just an observation.................some threads just never have the grace to die!

Seems to me most of the violence here was/is Nomads beating up on Nomads.
