A loss of fear and the loss of good friends.

Mood: it is what it is
|

My now ex-husband once told me that the thing he loved most about me was that I was not afraid of anything and the thing he hated most about me then
was that I was not afraid of anything!! LOL
He is actually reading this..... you know its' true.
My house was broken into many times in Cabo. I almost expected it. Once here in Todos Santos.
What have I lost? My mind at times, my money, my house, by car and my innocence. I am tougher, and at times more fragile. I laugh freer and sometime
cry just as freely.
Life is lovely in Baja. The people are awesome if sometimes frustrating. I feel very much at home here. Whatever I lost I found in other things.

Lost our keys to the motorhome in Coyote bay, pulled up after a 10 hour day on the road and immediately jumped in the water for a swim and a beer.
About a day later couldn't find the keys and realized what I thought had happened. That was until about 2 years later when I found them up in a corner
of a cabinet where I must have put them for safe keeping. Drove home with a hot wired motorhome praying the checkpoints didn't notice and didn't ask.
I now never leave home without multiple spares.
I also seem to always loose my stress although some how it always seems to find me again north of the border.

As a result of several break-ins, we lost a home theater system, all of our tools and knives, most of our canned and dry goods, all of our tequila,
and all of our outside copper water piping. All replaceable (outside pipe is now PVC). But the last time we got hit it was two motorcycles, helmets
and body armor, which was too much for me just to let it go. A substantial donation to the local constabulary got someone's attention and the bikes,
helmets and body armor were magically returned two weeks later, a little worse for the wear. Whoever was riding mine went down hard on his shoulder
and head, as evidenced by deep scrapes on the right sides of the bike and the body armor and a chip on the right side of the helmet. I hope it hurt
like hell.

We lost a boat due to the trailer breaking a bit south of el rosario a few years ago. Tongue broke clean off and the boat went flying off the side and
landed in silt. We didn't have time or the means to try to save it. Left it in the desert and someone got a good boat. It was an aluminum 18ft and
the trailer was buried but the boat ended up sitting in the silt and it looked like it was floating in the water. So many other countless smaller
things lost on many of our camping trips.

Mood: logic cannot get thru to the illogical

last week I was on the road to Tortugas. I was so fried from catching YFT for two days straight. Lotsa tuna.
I come upon a pathfinder the was disabled and a truck. I stopped and asked if they needed help. About 6 young guys were milling around the truck.
They said they needed a tow cable. I got out my badass MOFO tow cable with custom hooks and said here ya go. You know Tomas? Si muy bien. Give it
to him when you see him OK.
Si Tomas es mi amigo..... says the one chico.
hijole stupido gringo viejo.
I'm 50yo and still earning everyday.

I lost my religion in Baja. JK, but it sounded cool so I went with it.
I have lost my passports and reading glasses after a break-in, and a body board on the road to Punta Baja.

I lost my license plate off of my ATV trailer ..... TWICE! Two different years/trips. Both times claimed by the road coming from Jardines to Highway
1 after a big rain. I was trudging through slop!

After 23 years in La Ribera, I have lost too many relatives, good friends,
all of the really old pioneers, Bob Van Wormer, Jimmy Smith, Frank Warne,
David Mai, so goes life as we all understand. We all have a time to live, a time
to pass. Memories remain though.
On a happier note, I have lost a lot of Pacifico, by my own hand, some by great
and current friends! I have not lost a lot of personal property as some of you have, all stuff can be replaced though. Watch your top nott, keep your
nose in
the wind! Baja is still a place that is a home for those who love her, and
I do.
