Familiar? What else do we see every day that is unusual elsewhere?turtleandtoad - 1-29-2006 at 10:48 AM
Sand screen for making concrete. Not needed in the US where you buy the sand pre-screened (unless your supplier is Midnight Beach).

Most of the town sweeping the highway in Todo SantosPaulina - 1-29-2006 at 10:05 PM
Would this fit this catagory? Common to see in Baja, cows, horses, pigs all piled into the bed of a truck. This truck we came upon had one cow that
had fallen down and was lying under the others. Who needs a horse trailer?
another common Baja sighting...

Thinking of an idea and then just building it....

No need for a civil engineer, plans, or blueprints. Go find yourself a bruja....witch around a little...then just a fun time doing the impossible.
(Like this well, pump, and tower......where there not supposed to be water.)

Did you hear that Caltrans plans to lay off over 500 employees??

On the toll road after dark, I always (barely) see locals in dark clothing on the verge or walking along the divider or even worse, crossing right in
front of me, often with children in similarly dim attire.
I worry all the time that a dirty windshield will cause a tragedy.
Not to worry...

first time the wife and I drove to Loreto we tried to count all the dead dogs and cows and other animals, Oh!! and cars that were along the road. We
started calling dogs that were either crossing the road or just on the edge "Suicide Dogs". We later gave that name to all animals next to the road.
Sort of like a jumper on a ledge of a tall building or bridge. We dont count them any more there are just too many.

anywhere else!
