Jimmy Smith
Hola,
Not really sure how many of you are aware that Don Jimmy is in the VA Hospital in LaJolla undergoing further tests on his lungs after a relapse from
his problem a month ago. Nothing definite yet. I visited with him yesterday and today and he is thriving on the good vibes he is receiving from
Chuck Potter, Desert Bull, Wild Bill and a true Baja Lady and his own private nurse ('Char'). I felt honored to finally get to meet these Baja Folks.
He is in 3north pod B room 3354.
Like I said he is feeding off the vibes he is getting so drop by and see him or give him a call at 1-858-552-8585 ext 3354. Looks like he will be
there through this next weekend.

Bernie hit the nail on the head. It was a nice visit with Jimmy, Bernie, Chuck and Char as he told stories and listened to some others from us. And
wow, Char, a good family friend and private nurse that came up with him from Los Barriles, is taking great care of Jimmy in the hospital. Thanks to
great people like Bernie, Chuck, Dave and especially Char, Jimmy is sure to make it out of this predicament in good shape.

Sorry Mike, please call me. I don't think a private hospital room number should be posted. After I tried the number Bernie posted, an amigo (who also
is a personal friend of Jimmy) gave me a better number.

Bernie---I just got out of the VA in La Jolla. They are great and Jimmy will soon be feeling better. They did an open heart surgery on me and I left
in four days. The care there is better than in a private hospital. I hope Jimmy will get well soon. I will say the food isn't great, but the price
is sure good. God, these golden years aren't what they are cracked up to be. Sharky

I don't know how it works in your neck of the woods Fisheater.
A private room number really shouldn't be posted on the internet. Especially when you can dial direct into the room of a convalescing person at any
time of the day or night.
I'll be pleased if Jimmy gets a copt of this email.
Get Well Jimmy!! Get out of that Horspistol and get some Real food!!
As always

Don Jimmy update!
i spent some time with Jimmy last night along with his buddies Dave "big" Deal and Chuck Potter and Charlene from Los Barilles. He's in good spirits,
had some ribald comments. He won't be going home soon however as they are seriously needing to watch him for several weeks. Maybe before Dec but Quien
Sabes? anyway we are looking to find, borrow, beg or steal a small travel trailer - 12 to 18 ft - for him to stay in that can be umbillicled at Dave
Deal's casa as Dave will take him to V.A. for his periodic treatments. Any one that can help with this notify any of the admin at www.baja.net . better than having to just hang at V.A.
Took him a "Screaming Airlines" T and a fine cigar but the cigar a no-no so it went to Dave!
Please donate if you can a little to his "return flight to home" costs c/o www.baja.net as posted by WB and DB. Even a buck or 5 here and there will add up fast. Gotta keep don Jimmy Writin' and rockin'!
Also David, understand your point. thx for clarifying

Don Jimmy
David K and others,
I stand corrected and chastised. About the phone number, I was most interested in getting his friends aware of his situation and NEVER considered that
anyone on the board would stoop to doing what was suggested.
Guess I am not paranoid enought. I just sent most of you a private update his condition.

Capt. Mike,
The flying sam that you are, it seems more than appropriate for you to be the one to give Don Jimmy a lift home. His home isn't that much farther than
Mulege. If he's going to be in the states for a while, maybe you'll have a charter heading his direction when the time comes for him to be released
from the horsepital? Sounds like good sense to me and save Jimmy some dough at the same time.

I would hate to think that someone on the Nomad board would or could make any type of harassing phone calls But.........
We're not the only ones that read the board.

I believe Mr. Deal resides in North County San Diego.... maybe in Oceanside?
