I'm just glad none of his law breaking included
1. taking empty said bottle or can of adult beverage and throwing it out the window.
2. Following cans or bottles, the empty contents of lunch is thrown out the window
3. Oil and filters from changing oil in Car, Truck, or boat is left on the roadside.
Or,,,,hummmm would that even be breaking the law in Mexico, you'd never know it... I might take part in some of your Lawlessness in Feb. when we
depart Ensenada and head to Mulege---thanks for the list.

Santiago,
Thank you for improving my Spanish vocabulary  :
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=colitas
Now I don't have to sound like a beer commercial if I were to ever say "This bud's for you"
Don't believe everything you think....

Goes to show you how out of touch with that culture I am.
I thought "Colitas" meant something like:
"Nalgas" "Nalgitas" "Nalgotas" Etc.

This sounds like a discussion out of an ethics class I took years back. You really can learn how many different shades of gray exist...

2. Opens first beer of the trip at the first turnout east of Hiway 1 on the 45 mile road to BOLA. -Arrogant
3. Generally has to pee at this point so goes on the side of the road (e pluribus unum). -Arrogant
4. Repeats 2 and 3 on 4th turnout. -Arrogant
5. Drives over 80KPH on the wide open spaces with the yellow line up his arse. -Arrogant
6. Drives truck with boat attached over the beach to launch. -Arrogant
7. Drinks beer out of a paper cup at taco stand in town (paper cup is at the request of the taco lady but he still thinks it's illegal). -Arrogant
8. Will occasionally not declare stuff in truck or boat crossing the border, both ways. Last trip answered "No" to the question, "Any plant material?"
with cactus parts strewn all over the dash -Arrogant
9. Will pull boat up to deserted beach and get a dozen clams or so. -Arrogant
10. Once attempted a spot of whoopie on said beach but learned that K-Y and sand just don't mix. Still, he's sure the attempt was illegal. -Arrogant
11. Often trolls with 2 rods out while by himself. This is a little sticky as he does always carry his buddy's annual fishing license - you know, 1
rod per license but probably illegal. -Arrogant
12. Does construction on small cabin without permits. Of any kind. At all. Notices that no one else does either. -Arrogant
13. Has gotten pretty lackadaisical about coming to a complete stop at stops signs after getting rear-ended by a surprised and somewhat nonplussed
Mexican who expressed wonder as to why anyone would actually even slow down at this particular intersection. -Arrogant
14. Noticed the warm smell of colitas and did not rush to the nearest authority to report. -Arrogant
15. Has dug up small plants here and there in the desert and replanted them at his cabin. -Arrogant
16. Once left a dirt road and made a new dirt road as the old dirt road was just too freaking washboardy. -Arrogant
17. Collects shells and takes them back to the cabin to sit around. Takes some back to la otro lado as a memento. -Arrogant
18. Brings wine - way, way more than 3 liters, lots of meat, computers and computer parts, clothes, baseball stuff, dog food south to leave with folks
who might enjoy or use them. -Arrogant
Anyway, these are all the ways he can think of that he's broken the laws but knowing him, I'm sure there are others. He thinks you folks who
pee-and-moan about these things need to get a life. -Arrogant |
I was hoping for some witty commentary- if any.

Are those things really illegal?
wow, most of us could be real buddies in one of those really pretty prisons we pass on the road - the one down by Santa Rosalia comes to mind! I do
all those things while exhibiting some self-control, since I am traveling in another country. Those shells in my yard (and those dried cholla
trunks), well I picked them up off the beaches of Humboldt County!
The beauty of Baja is no one gives a rats ass if you engage in minor and unobtrusive behavior that affects no one and nothing. Unlike some people in
my own community who can't keep their noses out of it!
