BIG THANKS!!
Baja Bernie ~
Thank you so much for your addition to this thread. I have loved it, as you can probably tell, and now I love it even more!  Your knowledge of history and intelligent insights are educational and of course
beautifully expressed. You piqued my inexperienced nomad interest and now I'd love to hear more from bajalera and something from Lee as well. If they
can add more to this growing wealth of caring and sharing information I'm sure many nomads would love it.

Sorry, I lead you astray they are one and the same and she is one smart and tough lady. She served in our armed forces in WWII and I like that
because I like to see one or two folks older than me hanging around--if you know what I mean.
She wrote a chapter in my last book, "Think you know Baja"....and it was a real crack up.......I had six or seven guest authors from this
board.........I picked them because each in their own way provided a window into the soul of Baja that was unique.
By the way, welcome!

Gnome-ad ... not psychic. But bless their pointed little heads, anyway.
Bernie and Bahiamia ... thank you for the wonderful stories and quotes with much needed wisdom. So much to learn.
Mr. Bill ... How much invectiveness or offense does the word "savages" contain? Just a little, or just enough?
... I'll be your huckleberry, mo chara.

I just re-read this entire post and----
I have to confess that I was shocked when I re-read my post and found my incomplete thoughts which seemed to jump off the page at me. Seldom have I
allowed so many errors to see the light of day---I thank all who read it for not throwing them in my face.
One other thing I noticed that had escaped my attention before and that was Gnome-ad comment about her new avatar as being 'my art' was that
possessiveness of someone elses art or was it a definitive declaration of ones own work.
Just curious.
Iflyfish,
I think you would really enjoy this 'novel' by James Alexander Thom, "The Long Knife" the story of George Rogers Clark whom the Indians called Long
Knife...........Thom also wrote 'The Red Heart" Really well researched and well written. The Long Knife was one of those 500 page books that zoomed
by in one setting. And then had to be read again and more slowly.

Gnome-ad's avatar is one of her original acrylic paintings scanned and formatted to fit this screen. She also designed and executed my skeleton avatar
/ logo. It's one of her many artisitc and literary talents.
I'm enjoying everybody's posts in this thread. --Amir
