Because most Californians today are from elsewhere and have no California heart and soul. |

The folks that live year round living there in THE Baja?
How bout the part timers that live in THE Baja (has a home there in The Baja)?
Why not add the visitors that have been going to The Baja for over 25 years on a regular basis?
I have heard The Baja used by the citizens themselves. From visiting old timers as well the 'newbies. There are two sides to each coin.
The United States or United States? The Baja or Baja?

A lot of folks feel the 'true Baja' begins when you see boojum trees... near the 30th parallel or south of El Rosario... For me it is anywhere south
of the Mexican border with California, but especially when I leave the pavement!

Again....those that need a map to find Baja are missing the point.
Baja is a state of mind. Either you have it...or you don't. A GPS won't help with this deficiency.

Many folks also think that there was a shooter in the grassy knoll in Dallas, but that doesn't make it true.
Regardless of the flora and fauna or the geology, Baja California, in Spanish, means lower California. And when someone visits, they are in the Baja
Pennesula or The Baja
or
When you have several Tequilas, you are in the Baja, state of mind!!

Now, David....what would he know ??
Clearly semimental positions taken by old yankee farts who planted their burros there have more of a grasp of this dilemma than any Mexican...

It is true. It was a 50 cal machine gun, but it jammed. They were supposed to shot Jackie before she bailed out.

Did you see the latest thory on cable this month.
The last shot came from an AR15 friendly fire from one of the SS guy's in the car behind Kennedy's. I think it was called "The Smoking Gun!"

One of my early memories is the Kennedy funeral procession on TV... My mom was trying to figure out how to record it using my dad's wire recorder.
John Glenn orbiting the earth was another...

Living in Quintana Roo, I always detected an extraneous who would refer to it with a "The".
Bajacalifornianos used to be quick to gently correctly someone who misidentified their tierra, now they seemingly could care less.
¿Estas Bajacaliforniano? is the understood way to ask someone if they are a Baja California native.

So....do we say "I love Baja/the Baja" .... or "I have THE love for Baja/the Baja" ?
What seems to really matter is we like that piece of dirt, sand, and water.....and the sunsets/sunrises

Both sound good to me, as long as BAJA is in there somewhere!
