"Taco", because I drive a Tacoma
"de Baja" because I, and the Truck, like going to Baja.
.....And, "bajataco" was taken by another Taco owner 
My Avatar is of one of my favorite beaches in Baja.

My home has always been the "pub". My food and beverages are always available to visitors. Frog refers to my enjoyment of these amphibious
creatures. 1925 is the year my father was born.

 I'm a sea kayaker and love the stretch between Loreto and La Paz
A few years ago , one of our guides called me Langostita - I thought it was cute - maybe it because I
get a red-ish tinge when on the water all day - he said that was not the reason, he said it is because
I "carry all of my meat in my tail" !

My name is Sally and I love to go South! I actually got my "name" from the "sallyforth" cartoon in the Sunday paper.My family has mucho history in
Baja, starting with my Great Uncle,Grandpa(1950's).Mom and Dad drove the silt road (much of it was) before the road was paved,had a bajabug they would
convert into a bed for two(??:wow and explore during the day, Gonzaga being a
favorite back then(1970's)Family had a nice place at Estero Beach back in 1966-69, right next to the "point House, Novelos", and Mija was born in
Ensenada in 1968.I was 16 and married!I could go on forever, but....sooooo much more.. henceforth, Sallysouth!!!
Happiness is just a Baja memory away...

The warts on the taco skin from deep frying give it away. However, a real chalupa looks nothing like the TB Americanized Chalupa.
| Quote: | A chalupa is a kind of tostada platter in Mexican cuisine. It is a specialty of south-central regions of Mexico, such as the states of Puebla,
Guerrero and Oaxaca. It is made by pressing a thin layer of masa dough around the outside of a small mold and then deep frying it to produce a crisp
shallow corn cup. It is typically filled with shredded chicken or pork meat, chopped onion, and a piece of chipotle pepper or red or green salsa.
An Americanized form is also widely sold in Taco Bell restaurants. This version, made with a piece of deep-fried wheat flatbread, filled with ground
beef, chicken, or steak and topped with nacho cheese, lettuce, tomato; sour cream, lettuce, 3 cheese and tomato; or baja sauce, 3 cheese, and fiesta
salsa more closely resembles American-style tacos.

If you need help figuring out how DanO and the avatar match, you're too young. My name is Dan, often referred to as DanO by friends and colleagues.
And IMHO, Hawaii Five-0 was one of the greatest TV series of all time.

Bajajudy was my first sign-in name when I opened my internet account. My VHF handle has always been EZDC here in Baja but they wanted more than 4
letters.
My avatar also came from Marv...thanks Marv.
I like it because even though I live in Baja, I have always had a tropical soul and it looks like a tropical island. Now I know that I live in the
tropics but the avatar does not look like Baja to me!

Book 'em, DanO!
My user name isn't Baja-themed but it's the one I use on message boards everywhere.
"Teadust" is a monochrome glaze developed by the Chinese potters long, long ago and I try to collect 18th century pieces with that glaze, it's one of
my favorites.
(Now, one CAN tie Chinese porcelain to Mexico with cargo that came over on Spanish galleons in the 16th through 19th century, and the Chinese workers
in Mexico in the early 20th century...)

Preferred activity in life is riding motorcycles in Baja...hence the "moto" part ...
Name is "Gerald", but was called "Ged" by brother as a kid and it stuck....
Preferred Place is Bahia de San Francisquito...hence the avatar...

Toneart= Tony (name), Tone (as in this trumpet player's distinctive sound) and Art (as manifested in several disciplines).
The avatar is a Polaroid photo taken of me holding my trumpet after which I pushed around the emulsion before it dried, thereby creating a painterly,
French Impressionist-like image.

I've been fortunate to have led two baja lives: before Alex and with Alex.
My avatar reflects the second.
