For those who have not met Catavina's famous pan handler, here is "Gottapeso". Even for TEN pesos he wouldn't show me his not-so-famous smile.:spingrin:


How could you possibly RESIST giving a face like that your pocket change???

Besides, I also heard that he invented the internet before Al Gore...

I gave him a peso. I didn't think about it too much. I didn't know the story. I'll seek him out next time to give him a peso.

We ecountered his counterpart. On the way to Mulege from Santispac we stopped at Lorann's realty office to visit her and met "gottacomida". Cept he's Mexican. His hand is out, he's rubbing his empty belly, so I get in the ice chest and all I have is a package of lunch meat, a package of cheese, a cup of yogurt and diet coke (with lime). We're not giving up the beer, might have an emergency or sumpin. I gave him the food. Huge look of disappoinment on his face, but he thanked me. Guess he wanted money to buy his own comida. He also wanted a ride to Mulege, we would have gladly obliged if we had any room in the truck. I watched him walk to the road and stick his thumb out. We said our "so longs" to our friend and drove off and "gottacomida" beat us to El Candil. He wasn't hungry anymore. Oh, and while I have your attention.....ARIZONA IS GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL.........WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO.......................



We\'re all here cuz we\'re not all there, mountain stranded time
