Oh well, there's always tomorrow. The very special 15 years plus one day celebration will be just as meaningful. After all...it's just puberty
rites.
Hey Shari....have you ever noticed the indigenous women [are they around down there?] running for cover when a solar eclipse begins? They believe if
caught out in one, they will become sterile.

never saw them running but have seen them tie a red ribbon or string around their bellies and on plants too to prevent them from dying.

I'll keep an eye out for that one. It must work.
Another one more commonly used by mainstream Mexicans is to shave a baby's head to concentrate growth on the body rather than the hair when one thinks
the baby has stopped growing.
I had neighbors who were professionals at UABC who did this to their baby. They said it was on the advice of their doctor. I guess there's no
accounting for religion and medical superstition.

sunny day today to dry things out.

Elvis reborn.
Yeah....it's beautiful here this AM. No wind....lots of blue sky and sun.... colder than a witch's udder.
Today I get to be Paraquat Man, cleansing the world of all these nasty weeds and things that grow out of the ground as fast as Bamboo after a rain.
Then...I get to celebrate. SALUD

The road is in pretty bad shape in spots. The construction work south of Ensenada is really torn up now. Much of Hwy 1 has a lot of new pot holes as
well.
And I made it home in time for the quincenera....the party went on until about 4am despite a few rain drops.

Zac, a Nomad reported that the El Rosario bridge was completed... can you confirm that please.
How are the Colonia V. Guerrero (Santo Domingo River) bridge and the San Vicente bridge coming along?
Merry Christmas!

For those of you planning on traveling on 99 ......Grapevine through Los Angeles towards Baja..... is clear cut
My of guys just arrived in Seal Beach and Orange County. No snow or mud issues.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
