Where is everybody?

easy question
complex answers

but since this site does not appreciate responses that take time to craft, I'll skip it

if it makes you feel better - facebook is battling something similar
many users don't bother anymore

Mood: love Baja !

[*] posted on 6-22-2022 at 07:20 PM


Sorry but the posts from where I started today with a let's remember what this forum is about are were really bad.

Stop it or get off this web talk group !

Would rather see less folks then a bunch people that don't really care about Baja . just want to talk shi-t

Grow up !
Ligui

Its not the problems with the web site technology. Its how you interact with others.
Again grow up and converse on level above 5 th grade.

If you repeat the false story enough times it will not make it true.


says the willfully ignorant pseudoclimatologist who ignores literally millions of data points and scientific analysis because - well hes got a photo of a palm tree.

Like you said David Keep repeating your BS to yourself - eventually you will actually come to believe it. I'm sure you still believe in Santa Claus!

Sad to see so few people wanting to be positive, happy, and share Baja here... :(

Well personally, I have gotten a lot of great useful info from this site, mainly from those some like to disparage. Was very helpful setting up bank accounts, planning trips or places to visit, places to eat or stay, etc.
The personal attacks on individual people or their politics get in the way tho, and I can't see how anyone benefits from them.

I am back home on Vancouver Island now so I have not posted since my return.

I have gotten some great information off this site. I ignore the jerks and listen to the experienced Baja vets.

That would be greatly appreciated. Much as it feels good to rant, it's unlikely to sway anyone here and it doesn't benefit anyone but yourself.

If even that.


Well said lencho

Hate to see Nomad die... It has been such a big part of creating new friends and sharing great Baja adventures.

I know many are tired of some of the posts and replies that are pretty unkind... but if we can ignore the negatives and promote the positive posts, it is to our mutual benefit to communicate, help, and share with each other.

Some Baja stories from your first trips to places in Baja could break the ice for some of you lurkers!

Anyway, think about something fun or nice to say... We could use it!
:light::cool::yes:


I am going to guess most people are out taking advantage of the opportunities to travel, camp and get together with friends and family after a long period of being denied access to them.
Life is good again, and we are celebrating the recent changes.

I put up what I thought was a bland statement that I thought wouldn’t be too controversial to prove a point about name calling. Gosh! Sorry about that!

Baja North had $3.80ish regular gas today! Calexico Ca had $6ish gas, also today! Yuma AZ has $4.89 gas today! You figure out what’s wrong here!

And it’s “Political” to point out that it might be a result of bad policies!! OK, I voted with my feet years ago and got out of California! If you’re happy with $6/gal gas and brown lawns. Bon Appetite!

There are other PARF (Politics And Religious Forums) on many other sites where you can wear your lib and con hat and spout off and dox each other to your hearts content.

Why that behavior has to come to an Foreign Locale shared enjoyment web site is my question?

Politics and religion have been debated since the beginning of recorded history. ho-hum

Debates about which is the best Mexican beer are much more important and enlightening.

"best" Best for what? Well, for an early afternoon beer to quench thirst like right now, I think I'll go get an ice-cold Tecate Light. :cool:

It was the late Baja Rob (of Bahía Santa María) who turned us onto Tecate Light as an excellent hot-weather refresher. We agree! Now it is always in our fridge... refreshing, no after-taste, and available everywhere. We still love Pacifico and Dos Equis Special Lager, on tap, never fear!

I have never found beer to be a good hot weather drink. Sangria or gin/tonic are much more refreshing drinks.
Or try a Negroni or Mojito.

Leave it to Goat to not like beer on a hot day.

Gin and tonics are good though, but you need to have ice, a glass, gin, tonic, and lime.

Too complicated. Just give me a cold beer.
