Well, some of you are proving the old adage "ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer"... Can we put this thing to rest, please?
thank you

Any recent pics? Do you have a fishing boat and have access
to beer?

If this was medieval times, the fool would play an important role in the king's court. Here and now, maybe not so much.

In modern times
The fool is considered the top drawer go to guy in the Obama
administration based on his picks for cabinet and close advisor positions. Bajahowodd would be an excellent fool based on its posts on this board in
recent weeks.
Just my observation.

As bajaguy has said before, boy is this thread getting hijacked, all for the best I suppose. I could start a new one with the email my brother sent
my son regarding his new job and life in Florida - it's at least as good as baja c-cktails and the turtle wars...
I'm done with falling off my bicycle and scraping my knees here, let's have a little fun. I'll post my brother's email and for the next 48 hours you
guys can examine, disect, laugh at and generally make fun of it and have a great time with it, because it is really funny, though, whoops, doesn't
have a thing to do with baja, though a lot to poke fun at a complete arsehole...
Let me know, it would be easy to post, and it's the most insanely, stupidly funny thing I have read in a long time cause the guy is absolutely
serious.

that I don't know how to do other things... Opinions?

Sure, with your commercial kitchen background it shouldn't be a problem.
Just get your paperwork in order and hit up the Taco stands, they always need Pot Washers.
With a little hard work you could probably make up to $10 a day and get to live like a real mexican. |

This is silly, everyone knows tacos are a huge industry, everyone eats tacos. If you do it well you could make a alot of money on a taco stand. Easily
200 pesos iin a few hours.

gnukid: Is anything taken out of that 200 pesos or is that take-home?

When you go to baja keep your eyes open and look for servicies that aren't being provided locally. With your accounting and tax background in US
taxes if you end up in a place where there is a large ex-pat population, you might find people who need US tax services. Brush up on your
international tax knowledge. I'm a CPA and I am personally thinking of doing this once I finally get my home in Loreto built. I am positive there
is a need - perhaps too great a need considering I will be retiring there and may not want to work all the time. There have been some horror stories
here on the nomad board about people who didn't have correct tax advice from US based tax people and ended up paying huge fines. Good luck with your
dream!

lesliego, Baja isn't the only warm place to go. But, it's a real good place to
go.

Chetco Harbor has long been an important port for southern Oregon. ... Average Annual Rainfall: 73.44 inches. Average # of days with measurable rain:
141 ...
www.brookingsor.com/relocation.cfm - 16k - Cached - Similar pages -
I lived on and then traveled on the Southern Oregon coast for nearly 30 years. It is an absolutely wonderful climate. Rain and storms but many
stunning days. In many ways not that different from the west coast of Baja... a little less sand and a wee bit cooler in the winter.

141 days a year with measurable rain does NOT sound good to me. Anything less than 340 days a year of sunshine sound pretty miserable.
