My real name is Buelah but, I like DENNIS better. I'm a huge Black Chinese woman who cooks churros at the Bufadora mall and have to be ingognito 'cause I don't have papers. Well...I have some papers but, not the right kind. I think they're newspapers. Not sure.
Anyway, c'mon out to the Buf and I'll split a churro with you.....right after you pay for it.

Yah, David K is my name... well, the K is my last name initial (duh)... If you say beer and change the b sound to a k sound, you say my last name. It is Kier, which is Scottish. Our coat of arms is a black cross surrounded by four red roses. My relatives (great uncles) were in the construction business... built dams as well as other buildings, such as the Serra Museum and Balboa Navy Hospital, both in San Diego. My dad and his dad were dentists. General Rodriguez, when he was governor of Baja California, was a patient!

In high school, the kids would call me 'Baja' ('Hey Baja') after they made a deal out of my Baja guidebooks, in the school newspaper.

My CB radio handle back in th 70's was 'The Baja' (you know, as in Breaker 1-9 for The Baja)... My nephews called me Uncle Baja!

I thought any name, with Baja added to it, would be a real common practice on a forum: 'Baja Dave', for eaxample so I just used my real name (to be different)! :bounce:

My moniker is self explanatory. Clever isn't my strong suit, so I borrowed it from my husband's use of "where's the old woman". After lurking on the board a while I was determined to be a "lady" in my postings...the in person experience can be a little more salty.

Well, my real name is Anna...if you look up the meaning of the name in a baby book it means.."One with Grace"...and I was born in 59 soooo...grace59....though now that I see so many cool screen names I wish I had something a bit more clever, but it is what it is!



Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

Sorry Fred but your post reminded me of the 1963 Plymouth Belvedere 4 door sedan with a faded paint job that I drove for a while during high school. It was such a plain car compared to my buddy's Cameros, Mustangs, and GTOs that I named it Fred. It did have a big back seat though, which came in handy at the drive-in.

Why k-rico? j-rico was taken. ;D

Dougherty family name properly pronounced with Irish brogue is "DOCH(cough up furball here)er-tee". "Dock" works better now that the cabin cruiser in its slip in downtown Ensenada after 2 years of restoration.

Dan is my first name and the "backnine" part was hung on me by golfing buddies. I always seemed to play better on the back nine holes when there is more money to be made.
