Pregunta
Since the REALLY important question of Mexican Beer has been discussed: While
roaming around the desert near mi casa, I found a Corona Beer Bottle that I've never seen before. It's the same physical shape and size as the
current one (325 ml), but it
is a dark bottle with a yellow paper label that says Corona Extra. I've been buying Corona and Corona Extra in Mexico for 30 years and this is the
first time I've seen this bottle. Anybody else ?
On the same subject, years ago I had a neighbor who bought Tecate Beer because he thought that the Beer would stay fresh longer in the dark bottles.
I pointed out that most people don't store their beer in the Sunlight. In addition, I had a bottle of Corona Extra on my bookcase still sealed with a
used Lime in the bottom. I saved that to show to people the value of being able to see the Beer before you drink it. After a number of years,
though, the lime disolved.
One final note on a Weighty subject. Back in El Norte, I don't flush my toilet paper either. We have a Septic Tank and I've found the interval
between digging up and pumping the tank is longer without all that paper in there.

Franko -
Got it.
Sometimes I have the bad habit of taking things too seriously.
Usually beer cures it temporarily.
Vis-a-vis JR - I should probably keep my cyber yap shut until I meet the man. I've heard some good things about him through this board. Time'll
tell.

Braulio, I think you've got a point there--my view of JR changed after meeting him. Some day I'd like to get acquainted with Baja Blackie and Mexicali
in person, to see if this might also bring about a revision of opinion--theirs as well as mine. Or at least a degree of mutual civility that has yet
to occur on this board.

Let's not go overboard on the love-fest thing.
Vis-a-vis you - I still think you're a troublemaker.

Braulio, can you cite one instance in which I've initiated controversy? I have responded to posts that strike me as being rude, but can't recall ever
starting a battle.

FrankO...
Just how cheap are you? And do you deliver?
Since beer and Coca Cola are so iffy, it must be tequila, tequila, tequila (and Mexican limes, nature's antibiotic cleanser).

Poor? Maybe
Cheap? Never. Cheapened? Often. Must be that Catholic upbringing. And being Irish, it's not really in my nature to drink. Anymore. Or any less.

OK Braulio
You don't know me. And whether you think I speak Spanish and am a hypocrite or not, you don't know jack about it.
You speak Spanish maybe but you have no grasp of what you are saying about others. They call that Novela here clown.
And you are one!
I spend more time with the local folks in Baja who don't speak a word of English and manage to fish for free, eat at all their homes, and have a
pretty good trading business going on in the most rural parts of Baja. I obviously can get my points across without being judged by some gringo
pendejo who insists on making fun of those trying to learn how to speak Spanish. A true pendejo.
Maybe if you spent some time away from your Spanish dictionary and the gringo enclaves, you would learn what speaking a language is all about!
For those that think that speaking Spanish in Mexico is not important, what foolish thoughts these P-nche gringos have in their self centered
selves. True " ugly americans" to be sure!

You da man, JR, no doubt about it. A legend in your own mind.
And, you certainly have Braulio pegged, especially about the Gringo Enclave part.

Yep Roberto
And I'm also pretty popular with the Mexicans here in Baja.
In fact, the only people who need to call me names and stuff are about 7 people on Baja Nomads who are lucky if they get to spend a week or two in
Baja per year.
And, Baja is better off for not having them here!

Not Baja, but Baja California. At least that is what it's called by us in Baja California.

Braulio, could you give me a heads up?
Things are a little slow down here and I am in need of a little sport.

Dave - You lost me - what do you need a heads up in regards to?
BTW - do they make you wear a bicycle helmet for the Rosarito-Ensenada ride deal? Does it go by your place? I'll probably be coming over from
Mexicali with a group of caguameros.

Grover - noun gender is important man - without it we'd be referring to JR as Joto R - and we wouldn't want that would we.

First rule about Dave - he has a great, dry sense of humor. That said, I
believe he wants to witness the meeting between you and JR. Come to think of it, I might want to be there too.
