Just thought about him the other day as I rummaged through the garage. I was wondering whether those kids were still playing with the baseballs I mailed down for JR to deliver.

Nice post David, good on you for reminescing. He brought an element here of contrast or reality that proved very hard to avoid sometimes. He straightened out my burro a few times.

Good Thoughts, Sharks


I have written about jr before, a good man I never met, except in the internet kind of way.

I enjoyed reading his posts - the passion, the devotion to developing a sustainable economy for the least privileged residents of Baja (the bamboo projects), his love for the real back of beyond, and his commitment to preserving the ecology and his savage relish for castigatigating the privileged gringo enclavists who come, take and don't bother to learn the language, manners or needs of their adopted country.

Here's to you, jr (and skibaja), happy birthday, and cheers to the insightful people who remember you and cherish your thoughts, accomplishments and your .life
