Politically Correct 2020 for the Nomads
Can we have some fun? I read Baja Nomad for Baja info-- not for politics. I have traveled around Baja since the early 70s. It is the great escape
from reality. So as to keep all of us focused on a fun 2020, I propose my list of Baja Nomad correct usage of political terms for 2020. Enjoy. I
hope you "endorse" the concept. First, the political term followed by the correct Baja Nomad definition---
middle of the road-- where you hope your vehicle can travel while on your favorite Baja dusty road.
left of center-- while on that road, steer left to avoid a hole, rocks, cow etc.
right of center-- see above but steer right.
landslide-- it could be anywhere on that dusty road.
mudslinging-- always happens after a rainstorm.
gerrymander-- that drunk guy from the cruise boat you met at Hussongs who claims that is his name- Gerry Mander
exit poll-- "So how long did it take you at the TJ, Otay, Tecate border?"
majority party-- it is going to be a fiesta/party. Make no plans for the next day.
minority party-- you can still make plans for the next day.
3rd party-- "Was I at the first and second party?"
splinter party-- usually those folks that hang out in the kitchen.
party activist-- person who attends all the parties.
recall-- see 3rd party
pork barrel-- Sounds like a good carnitas restaurant!
thrown under the bus-- usually a cow about midnight on Hwy 1
testing the waters-- what a good fisherman will do.
delegate-- an order. "Ok son, start digging this jeep out of the sand."
disclosure-- "Oh no. Can you pay. Where are my pesos?"
debate-- "That fish was not 10 pounds. It was only 5 pounds."
45-- a number 45 pesos is about $2.40 $45 dollars about 850 pesos
45 km about 28 miles 45 miles about 72 km
Remember, it is about Baja and Baja only. Add your own- but only for fun!
Happy New Year Nomads....

What I'm doing at work is so secret, even I don't know what I'm doing!
One should believe in God, because even Google doesn't know everything.
