Palomas are good in hot weather and they are made with Mexico's tequila!

Too complicated. Just give me a cold beer. |
It’s easier to heat a frozen pizza than to make a good meal.
Some people put in just a little bit of extra effort to make life more enjoyable/rewarding.

Tonic is truly an excellent hot weather drink! I reached my lifetime allotment of alcohol almost fifteen years ago, so I skip the gin, but a cold
bottle of tonic is the most thirst-quenching drink for me.
Sometimes quenching the thirst is not the goal though, so repeated applications of cold beer is more satisfying!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Not a fan of palomas. Most of mexico makes ‘em with fresca, and taste is odd, and too sweet.
Woke!

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.  |
I also drink blancas. [ aka tecate light]
When gringo friends drop by they usually bring their own beer to avoid my beer. Bonus.

I've been on this board for many years. I've always enjoyed posting pics of birds but I am getting a little old and I can't "click and drag" a photo
without a bunch of hassle here. Please make it easier to post a photo without having to go "here" and "there" to download a shot quickly.
Remember "Peace, Love and FishTacos?"

if it takes a tutor to learn how to post pictures, the site is not user friendly
nobody needs to be shown how to post a picture on facebook etc
all successful apps are successful because they are super easy to use

Harald,
To me the steps are easy (and to others who have done them as I am not the only one who posts photos here).
Some people don't read the instructions or skip steps or just don't know I have made this guide to posting photos here...
To post photos from your Pictures folder on your computer:
1) Go to www.Postimages.org, make an album if you want to organize your photos to find them easily in the future (by date or by subject). No cost to use
Postimages.org.
2) Change the upload setting from "Do not resize my image" to 640x480 (recommended for forums) or 800x600 (max. on Nomad). You click on the little
arrow to see the size choices.
3) Click "Choose images" and select the photos you want to put on Nomad from your Pictures folder.
4) Click on the image you want on Nomad and click on "Share" at the top of the screen.
5) Choose "Hotlinks for forums" (down next to the last one). You can click the little box at the right end of the link and it is now saved on your
mouse.
6) Go to Nomad and paste that link onto the place where you are typing on Nomad. You can put text in below the photo for a caption for your post and
if you double space between photo links (for clarity), you can put several photos and captions in a single post on Nomad. You can click "Preview" on
Nomad to check and see how it will look before posting to the board.
If you need to fix a post after it is done, click on "Edit" along the edge of your post, and change or delete your post. If you edit more than once,
you can delete the previous Edited on tags so only one edit tag will appear after you edit the post.

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 Apatite!
|
You wouldn't find me living in Yuma or anywhere in Arizona even if gas was $1.00. I will stay right here four blocks from the beach in sandy eggo
where it's always 72 and sunny. Surf's up. Cowabunga!

Our first trip to Baja was in 2007, when we stayed at an All-Inclusive in Cabo San Lucas. While there, between watered-down margaritas and food
tailored to gringos, we learned that there was more to Baja California Sur than what existed within our concrete compound. So we went back to the
same place on a heavily discounted package, giving us the financial freedom to explore. It was then that we took a day trip to Todos Santos and fell
in love.
We kept coming back every winter, but it was a week during July 2013 that really sealed the deal for us. The summer vibe in Todos Santos was
irresistibly laid back. Who knew that one could find an "off" switch in a specific place?

But circling back to the OP, I read BN almost every day but only weigh in when there's a relevant topic - or when I post one myself. I try to avoid
third rails like politics because that's not the purpose for this forum.

like all windows users, David claims that in a few easy steps you get where you want to be.
I don't trust 12 step programs
if it is not as intuitive and easy as a Mac, it is not worth having in your life
as a good Republican David will defend the old and outdated forever

No, 4 shots of booze in a Margarita is quite a lot! 2-3 of those and you can do Jimmy Buffett impersonations!
Harold,
I post from my iPad and pictures are easy. I just resize them and email them to myself. The weather picture took a few seconds! Windows can't suck
enough! When we did the IBM commercials years ago, we did them on Macs cause you couldn’t use windows!
The only issue I have is the occasional strange word I get when I’m typing!

I found relatively "easy" ways too
but none of them beat the ease of use in facebook etc
there is a reason why some of the hated apps are so successful - they are EASY to use
but the forever yesterday folks still miss Blockbuster
