are there no cavemen left in baja?

every so often a poll or a thread comes up about progress in Baja and it really makes me laugh...hearing both sides spout about the pros and cons of turning baja into another southern cal....the reality is there are still quite a few places in baja where a conversation like this is meaningless,where the seeds of progress have not been planted or if they have its very slow moving...not everywhere is like Loreto and the east cape,thank the lord...and sometimes when youre in an unusual spot thats basically in the middle of nowhere youll run into one of these vaqueros or fishermen who you can converse with on a very simple level and thats usually when i really start to question this notion that "progress" is what these people want,although they often seem satisfied in their simple way of life I think it is hard for the average gringo(like myself) to see how they can survive in a world without all the neccesary things to make life enjoyable like: a plasma tv,a new car or truck,a big house,10-15 supermarkets close by,a 50-100 mile radius of shopping all around you,credit cards,golf courses,fast food,and the list goes on and on and etc....do i feel guilty that these things are an integral part of life as we know it,not in the least and its even better when your friend or neighbor has all these things and wants to you to help them use it...but the funny thing is that when youre going down the road in baja and you run across some caveman in the middle of nowhere with a can of tecate and a grin at about 9 in the morning,youve gotta wonder does this guy even know that all these things exist and better yet...does he even give a flying f***:lol

Osprey, maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment, but I thought guera (with the diuresis, which I don't know how to make on the computer) meant "blonde." (I asked once about the meaning of "P-nche guera" and had it all kindly explained to me on this board.)

Yes I'm blond SO!! and I'm no P-nche guera. Disrespectful morron

Uhhh...

hehehe brats

that would be the best translation to la tortuga guera exept for it would have to be guerrera for warrior. la tortugaguera sounds more like the land turtle war, without a double r. I think she means to write latortugag?era so the leter u can be pronunced "?" has to be used

Sorry, Gull

Her avatar is from the "Beautiful People site". Heck if she looked half that good the beer or margueritas would be on me. Nothin better than some tequilla to cool off the outbursts

By the way eetdrt...as a true caveman does that entitle you to carry your woman around by her hair?
