Let that be a lesson to all you old farts. When the time comes, we will be waiting.
I'll see your next of kin on EBay.
Just kidding, I like the El Rosario library idea though. THe oneI won can be the second donation.

No need to reinvent the wheel. An extensive list of books about Baja has already been compiled, at Bajacalifology.org.

I went through that site, apparently not well enough, and didn't find anything that resembeled a list of books. Where did I go wrong?

You didn't miss anything that I could determine.

Sorry, Dennis! Last time I tuned in to Bajacalifology the site had info on anthropological meetings, new publications, deaths and whatever, and it was
easy to contact the Webmaster.
What I just got there, instead, was a Bibliography and that's it. When I tried to send an e-mail asking what gives, it asked for information on my
provider that I don't know squat about--and besides that, I had to turn off my computer to get off the site--the "x" wouldn't do it. I'd like to b-tch
about this, but have no idea how this might be done.
The bibliography I down-loaded a year or so ago runs to around 120 pages, covering a wide range of scholarly stuff that seldom trickles down to the
popular level, plus a fair amount of Erle-Stanley-type adventures as well. It's really been unseful.
Hey Bernie--you sound like one of the guys who thinks Baja California history began when he discovered the place. Say it ain't so!
Bummer.

Had I realized that Nomads--even the ones who are nice little old ladies--are not allowed to bi*ch, I'd have said "complain in a disagreeable
manner."

Lee, Bernie's new book starts with Cortez' people and the natives... that was a few years before he went to La Salina!

So Sorry, Lee
That is not the impression I was attempting to make. I just meant I could find no list of books on that site...........I had it in my favorites after
you suggested it to me over a year ago.
I believe we have spoken often about certain skulls, people from the south pacific, the Chinese in 1421, etc...............you know me better than
that..........see my comment about you in my response to David's review of my last book.
So you don't get peeed...............I was trying to say that you have a great deal of knowledge in this area...........hey! we have shared a bit of
it.

No need to be sorry, Bernie--I'm not peeed [although I'm pleased to see that Nomads are now allowed to be peeed off in our posts--that's a switch for
the better].
Your comment on bajacalifology surprised me, because we've always been on the same page when it comes to history, and I didn't think you'd take my
smart-ass response seriously. That site did have a great bibliography, but something has obviously gone wrong there.
The copy of "So You Think You Know. . ." that you sent me as a contributor is a great read, and I enjoyed your light-hearted, once-over dash through
a few centuries. To me it seemed obvious that you were giving us all a personalized tour through the peninsula's past.
As for you, DK, are you trying to convince the Oldest Living Nomad that Bernie has any status as a certifiably elderly person? No way!

 Old age is only a state of mind...
Anyway, you may have been around to see Erle Stanley Gardner exploring Baja... But, Neal Johns discovered Baja when he was in Cortez's Navy!

Have a look at the
archive of the site going back to May, 2002 - see if you can find it:

Neal Johns (and I have this on good authority) is older than God and way better off. God isn't allowed even one spouse, much less that six-mile-long
line of Wives-in-Waiting.
Doug, what do you think is going on with the Bajacalifology site? As a computer-challenged person, I have no friggin' clue.
