Common folks, give the guy a brake.

David K - 10-29-2004 at 09:52 PM

Common folks??? :lol:

David K - 10-29-2004 at 09:58 PM

Dave , Bruce, ...

None of us are without sin, in the world of bad spelling or typoos... oops, typos!!! :lol:

------------------------------------------------------------
Also, remember that rare fellow, 'Baja Spell Checker' only is concerned with Baja place names being spelled correctly.

So, it's okay to spell 'there' when you mean 'their' or 'they're', but don't spell Alfonsina's with a PH !!! :lol:

Bruce R Leech - 10-29-2004 at 10:08 PM

you guys are a tough crowd But I sure enjoy you all. Don't ever Back off or this site will go dead like some of the others. If its not tough its not Baja.

Hurray for everyone

rogerj1 - 10-29-2004 at 10:42 PM

for handling that so well. Bruce, we have so little to go by in getting to know you, spelling and diction tend to play a huge part.

Besides the spelling fun, I can support bruce's claim a bit

CasaManzana - 10-30-2004 at 01:34 AM

OK...trying to watch my spaling heree after everyone beat up on "Good Sport Bruce", I can support a bit of what he is saying. I live 24/7/12 at Posada Beach, 14 miles south of mulege. We no longer have a problem of this kind because we now have 24 hour guard observation. Prior to the guards three years ago, a car or two would vanish each year. We were having 4-5 houses broken into each summer when the beach was vacant. But the two "palapa-type day spots" near to us here- Escondida and Coco's Beaches -are hit with car break-ins maybe as often as once a week between the two of them. The owner of the campground right next to us, Roy at EcoMundo, says they sit up on the hillside above the beaches and wait for folks to go out in the water and then hit the car for stuff. As always, it's just a very few that cause word to spread generating this Big Problem In Mexico. I suggest that these folks who come here, thinking that they have escaped these type of problems in the US by coming here, be reminded that they are still far safer than at home overall. Crimes here involving car break-ins and gas station scams are about as big as it gets. The violence of most big citys, in California anyway, cannot be found here in this area.

David K.......you seriously need

beaches

lewm - 10-30-2004 at 06:59 AM

I was once told by a local that the old road brought good people & the new road brought bad. Changing times.

Packoderm - 10-30-2004 at 10:05 AM

First off, I say Bruce, don't install the spelling corrector. It'll sap the soul out of your spiel.

Second, how much would it cost to bribe a cop in Mulege to set up a sting at one of those beaches? I'm sure that a prior theft victim would be willing to front the bait car or truck. I personally would be willing to chip in $50.00 toward the incarceration of a caught thief if the sentence is 5 years or more in prison.

Pretty cool there Pack

jrbaja - 10-30-2004 at 10:09 AM

Both issues! :light:

To: CasaManzana and Bruce

movinguy - 10-30-2004 at 10:45 AM

Slightly off-topic:

I was in the area last week and drove down to Punta Suenos. Any comments/warnings/observations on this place?

TIA :coolup:

Carry on, Bruce! Bad spellers like you (and mediocre spellers like some of you other guys who are currently engaging in being picky-picky) provide jobs for editors and secretaries.

It's the thought that counts, not the friggin' spelling.

The bad spelling

Bruce R Leech - 10-30-2004 at 03:18 PM

The bad spelling is because I am dyslexic I spell it right in the head it just gets turned around when I type it. Ever here of a dyslexic Engineer, that is me I can figure a way to fix any problem but I can?t write my on name. the spell check helps a lot Thanks all Bruce

bajaloco - 10-30-2004 at 04:51 PM

There's no need to explain anything Bruce. Some posters are a little too sensitive. I for one never had a problem with understanding your posts. Keep um coming...

Thieves

Janice - 11-3-2004 at 09:48 PM

We were at Los Cocos 2 yrs ago, when my hubby was snoozing in the tent, I went out for a swim and was gone about 15 min. when I heard my pooch (who was tied to the bumper of the van, sleeping in the shade underneath) sound the alarm. I looked up to see a man walking away from our camp. I swam in to find out if there was another "salesman" at the door, but Rich said that he was half asleep when he heard a man whistling and basically trying to chum up the dog (who is part Queensland Healer and part Border Collie). He looked out in time to see the man beating a hasty retreat, with no sales items in evidence. I think a dog is the best insurance you can take to Baja. I just wonder now, if they would attempt to hurt her to get at the goods?

...and your choice of dog is very smart!!! Here's a pic of our heeler in Baja!

Janice - 11-4-2004 at 03:56 AM

Here are our two Queensland/Border Collie mixes at Camp Gecko last year. The male (Bravo) weighs about 72 lbs. and has a really loud bark. Katie (hero of the other post) is very protective when left to guard the fort. I can't imagine anyone silly enough to try to get between these two and our stuff.

i think i saw that dog once posing in

tim40 - 11-4-2004 at 07:54 PM

Having time to be concerned with spelling equates to too much discretionary time and not enough productive outlets....

I am still not clear if the majority in in the know are of the opinion that the theft problem is growing, static, or in decline? At times listening and reading posts from others I feel that I have won a verson of the Baja lottery. I have never had even a minor problem and in retrospect, I have certainly allowed for opportunities.

Me too,

Mike Humfreville - 11-4-2004 at 10:15 PM

Lived with wife and tender young children in huts across extended times and in remote outback and never had a thing stolen or felt threatened. We have always been protected by the locals and were warmed by it.

While I know crime exists in the campos along remote shores, it is never violent and doesn't occur if you care for and are cared for by the local folks that live nearby.

I guess my point is that in my world I try to integrate. In my mind, if I'm successful, I have a need to take care of those around me and those I've cared for will reciprocate.

This concept has worked throughout my life. But I never started it as a way to win. I started it out of an inner need to be fair.

DEB! Where's my damned glass?
