My forum name and avatar
Easy enough.
My avatar...most everyone who has spent time in Mulege over the last 50 years knows of this fine old character. He has passed from the scene now, but
his memory lives on.
I knew him for many years as Rudolfo..but that's a private joke on me. His real name is/was Adolfo and here is a thread about him..and his passing:

My forum name, Pompano, is also my Baja boat-name.
It/they were named that for a special little bay within Bahia de Concepcion where many years ago I always could count on catching some good-eating
pompano. If the wife says 8 for dinner tonight..no problema...I boat over to Pompano Cove and catch 2 nice fat ones. Bon appetite.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

My birth certificate sez Natalie Ann.
My avatar pix was taken from a rooftop porch in El Centenario. If you could see it larger, it shows both the moon and the sun during the time a
little chubasco was passing over... which sometimes reminds me of me.

My avatar is a self-portrait painted during the lowest time in my life:
At 9 AM my employer informed me legal proceedings were started to fend off a hostel take-over.
At 3 PM my Doctor called and informed me that I had cancer.
At 6PM my Hubby informed me that after 10 years, he didn’t want to be married anymore.
Oh, by the way, did I tell you it was my Birthday.
By Midnight, I locked myself in my studio. For three days I drank my way through a case of Zinfandel. The results was this self-portrait and an oath
never to drink Zinfandel again.
That was 17 years ago. Now, I keep the painting around to remind me how great life is today. I also toast it on my Birthday, but a cool Pacifico
seems more to my liking.
My name is simple as where I am in life “debindesert“. It does change for short periods of time to “debinbaja”. That’s what really pleases me.
Maybe, a few more trips and I’ll just have to paint another self-portrait. This time with a better influence of liquor! 
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well
preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and
screaming, \'What a ride!\' - Author Unknown
