I spoke to her on the phone several times a few years ago when I was placing ads for an organization I belonged to.
Still, how could anybody cross an international border "accidentally"??  She
was on the streets of Tijuana for four days!! Poor, poor judgment on so many levels.
Mom always told me to be different - Now she says...Not THAT different

Probably dementia, Alzheimers, or similar brain fog. It will eventually happen to many of us. Probably only "poor judgement" here is her family to
that still let her drive.

...ohh,,I'd just put it to 'brain fog',,,my girlfriend at 55 seems to display periods where her 'best' thinking could get her somewhere like this
situation.
...come to think of it,,I've done -much- worse at times!!!

California is dropped anytime The or La is added to Baja.
The Baja, or La Baja (in Mexico)... I have never seen The Baja California or La Baja California.
Baja, as a separate word, does just fine without California... as far as meaning goes. It does fine without The or La in front of it too, but adding
the The or the La makes it clear you are talking about a place or event and not the word 'Lower'.

There was a Gringa woman, maybe 40 something, in San Felipe 4 yrs. ago., obviously
living on the street, she would sorta dance to her own music along the shore in front of the downtown campgrounds, people would feed her. The Mex Govt
or
or concerned Gringos must have taken her back to the US,
Baja can be a collection of odds and ends

Oh, wow! Now that you mention that...I remember. I remember giving her some change one day and wondering how in the world she ended up there. And
then she was gone! I wonder what ever happened to her.
There was also a Czech man there living off of odd jobs given to him by one of the Mexican gentlemen who owns a building supply store. He finally
just went way overboard and (I hear) assaulted someone and was deported. Sad.
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

Recently, we've seen a few, or more, very lost souls, wandering the streets of Punta Banda and Cantu, obviously seriously mentally impaired and
extremely homeless. They walk the sides of the roads, obliviously gesturing and talking/yelling to their demons, all lost in a terrible world of their
own, with no means to eat or lay down at night in warm comfort.
I had heard years back, that these wretched people would be abandoned in areas outside of the city, to be dealt with like lost animals, and I have
received verification of this fact from at least one person in the medical community, that it is a fact.
There is no way they could appear here without assistance. They are non-functional on a social level.
I recently posted to this issue on the Punta Banda Bulletin Board and it was, to my surprise put up.
I'm going to, very soon, revisit the issue there and won't be expecting the same result.

Adding "The"' lends a certain importance to Baja...like "The one and only...." or "The ultimate destination...THE Baja... | Quote: | Originally posted by ligui

Digging the Desert
And LOVING it.
I've lived (by choice) in the Desert for 43 years.
After being born and raised in the Jungle.
South L.A.
And, haven't yet Dug up (or Buried, for that matter) ANY people.
BUT, if the Doc's interested, we could get together and I'll give it a try.
