Don't know why but no guns last night for Grito. We kept the dogs inside but the midnight hour came and went without a shot. One year the cops
loaded their one shotgun, got up on the roof to fire it but the ammo was too old or moldy, wouldn't fire. We do have crime here - burglaries. The
next morning the cops follow the footprints of the burglar (all the streets are dirt) to where the burglar is, get your gear back. Somebody stole my
bike, the cops came and followed the bike tracks to the beach, brought my bike back. Hope they never get around to paving here. There is one big,
bad dude named Bacho who is famous for burglarizing homes -- he's over 6 ft. tall, has great big feet causing a veritable round robin of a crime
spree. You only get your stuff back if you give the police a nice reward. On electrical stuff you can get around that by going right to Mundo, the
TV/radio guy in town who all the burglars sell to. He pays them centavos on the $ so the you can save yourself some reward money if you move fast.

Lili, you can either run fast or you can't. You can either jump high or you can't. You can get better at both those things, but never achieve what you
want. Just sit back and enjoy.. Kudo's Osprey. Vios Con Dios.....

Bacho brings to mind a great story, it may or not be true, but it fits.
The Golden State Warriors drafted a troubled young man years ago named Chris Washburn. Chris had lots of problems, in spite of being nearly 7 feet
tall and an instant millionaire from his signing bonus. He had been kicked out of college for stealing in the dorms....off to the NBA.
The story goes, that when Chris was in high school he decided to rob the local grocery in his not-so-great neighborhood.
So, he pulls a stocking over his head, marches into the store, ducks his 7 foot height under the door, and sez "Stick em up!"
Owner looks up from the cash register and sez, "Awwww Chris, don't do this."
Chris replies, "It ain't me!!"
Sounds like Bacho had a mentor.....
