Actually what you just said is basic BS.

Lets see. Three days ago on my evening walk along the unusually large pounding waves, the surf washed up to my feet a vigorously live grand daddy
lobster which was delicious for my dinner. The next afternoon I was invited to lunch by a very interesting lady where we enjoyed fresh Crab Burgers
and good conversation, last night another delightful lady invited me to dinner where we got the last two orders of Abalone Steak and had a yummy time.
Right now the best local band in town is practicing across the street. I have live Mexican music.
Oh, and my internet is slow in the afternoon during the hours of heaviest use, and sometimes is simply unavailable for an hour or so. Somehow I'm
managing to get by.

That was a good post, Vgabndo...so much else to enjoy and do rather than screaming about things out of our control. Here in Colorado, I pay almost
twice what I did in Mulege for phone and internet, I lose it almost every day for a while around 4 in the afternoon, it comes back...it is what it
is...Besides, it's something we never had for a long time, and we survived...

Sounds wonderful Perry! I think I could give up Internet for a few hours a day to have that kind of life!
So, why the secret about Dah-veed leaving Asunción? I remember when he vanished from Tecate, CA. around 10 years ago... then from Mazatlan, SIN... and
years went by before he returned here to Nomad? It is just normal curiosity since you post on a public forum that we wonder about your where-abouts.

One fill-up of Slime's Ocean Liner, costs 700,000 dollars. Wanna hear a hoot? He has been filling up in Venezuela at 27 cents US per gallon. The man
severely needs to be banned from business in the USA. He is a thief.
There is a Major T4 fiber Optic Cable Junction in La Paz. |
I don't know about the Venezuela thing, I've seen
them fueling two of his yachts in La Paz. We actually had to wait for fuel while they were topping off his tanks at Marina Costa Baja. The money it
costs him to fill his tanks is probably the equivalent of me spending the change in my ashtray on a liter of magna.

I have no idea, I've never met the man.

When I went off of Hughes net and onto the Infinitum, it is lighting fast in the morning, but when the kids get home from school, it goes to slower
and slower yet, sometimes going completely out of service. I called Mexico City and talked to them. They are very aware of the problem and it is
probably going to get worse. For a long time I assumed that the fiber optic cable that went down the peninsula was providing some internet service,
but I was informed that does not happen, it is going by the towers. So I adjust and handle my time accordingly. So far no rants on Bajanomads or
calling everyone a doofus or worse because I don't get all that I pay for. I like Ralph's response. Somehow I am getting by, perhaps that is because
I am more of an optimist. Thought that David E might take the helpful nudge and do a course correction, but I have tried that before. Like my
Daddy used to say," Son, I suspect that everyone in the Army is out of step but You, so good luck with that".
