That may be an operative term here. You're blindly contradicting one who claims to know that which you don't. Regardless of your opinion of RD, give evidence to the contrary of what she claims or respect her right to have her opinions based on her observations. You can't sit in judgement from your far removed position.

Precisely Dennis.

Pompano didn't need some grandiose rationalization for his behavior. He did what he did because he chose to do it.

Pampano has writen that it was some overwhelming sense of nostalgia that drove him to get stinking drunk and show his burro in public. It is the old "the devil made me do it" defense to rationalize and justify his drunken behavior and it appears several people are trying to help him.

A drunk has thousands of excuses for drinking. This one is just a little more sophisticated.










Rachel, mi amore, "Sorry about the 'stinking burro part' but the Thursday chile rellenos in the aforementioned cantina are one of those 1000 excuses." :yes::yes: p.s. When this runs out, we are all in deep doo-doo.

Is it my imagination, or do I sense some faint hostility coming from you? This saddens me for your sake...your life should not be wasted stalking me. Believe me, I will hardly notice you behind me, nor care.

My suggestion: It has been my experience that it is impossible for one to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.




Loosen up..have a shot of really good tequila...and live/love life!


SALUD!

Important question to you Pompano


Is that toilet paper two ply or four ply? :D



Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Hey Pomp,

My rant is and was directed to all the nomads who seem to idolize you. They need to see what the people in the "cantina" saw. Thanks for finally coming out.

I agree, but then you may not be a drunk, based on whatever criteria RD is using.
I've only ever SEEN Pompano sober, and the quality and quantity of his photography and literature as well as the functionality demonstrated by his numerous travels, fishing expeditions, and the broad spectrum of his life in general, aren't typical of the impaired functionality of most drunks. Those closest to him would be the only ones to evaluate whether he is dependent.

If I believed intervention were approrpriate, a public forum wouldn't be my choice for initiating such an effort. Neither would castigating a group of gnerally good natured and well meaning people, most of whom are viewing the situation through a different lens.

But that's just my opinion.

Alcohol dependency isn't the only flawed trait of [I won't use the term "Alcoholic." It's almost business specific.] an intermittant drunkard. Social behavior is a better indicator of the existance of problems.
If I had a lush for a neighbor and he caused me no pain or problems, there would be no issue.
If, on the other hand, he caused me grief, I would be inclined to return the thought and show him the errors of his common-drunk ways. A one on one intervention, so to speak.

Drinking is an art and not all have the artist's soul and are doomed to expressing themselves through vile graffiti of clumsy form.
It's not for everybody.

I value your opinion highly and when the beer store opens, I'll drink to it. :yes:
SALUD

I think it is less idolization and more of a realization that the vast majority of us here can't effect anyone else's choices.
We can, however, gaze at some pictures, read a few lines and go back to what we can effect: our own lives.
People will do what they do.
I used to play basketball in a league up at Viejas with a very nice guy who had lots of great stories, good family and was very skilled and fun to be around.
Now he is doing serious time for killing a bicyclist that he didn't even know he hit until the next day when he was driving in the same area as the fatality and someone noticed him and his truck as being the perpetrator.
Point all you want but we are each in charge of our own behavior and all the proselytizing in the world won't change a thing.
For whatever THAT'S worth......

Well Well....a voice from Mulege. I thought everybody down there was out of town.
I admire your huevos in the face of a hostile crowd, Mike. For this, you'll either be stonewalled or stoned to death.
Maybe some of both.

My bubble certainly isn't burst.
I make my living off of human behavior.
No rose colored glasses here.
Like I said in my previous post, enjoy the pics and take 'em for what their worth.
The only one that can change an individual is that individual.
Gotta love small towns!
The dirty laundry takes up way more space.:lol:
