Common in Baja..not so common in USA
Familiar? What else do we see every day that is unusual elsewhere?

Sand screen for making concrete. Not needed in the US where you buy the sand pre-screened (unless your supplier is Midnight Beach).

Would this fit this catagory? Common to see in Baja, cows, horses, pigs all piled into the bed of a truck. This truck we came upon had one cow that
had fallen down and was lying under the others. Who needs a horse trailer?

another common Baja sighting...
the 'art' of loading and balancing...a real No-No in the US, although it would make a lot of lawyers clap thier hands in glee.

Thinking of an idea and then just building it....
No need for a civil engineer, plans, or blueprints. Go find yourself a bruja....witch around a little...then just a fun time doing the impossible.
(Like this well, pump, and tower......where there not supposed to be water.)

The dark clothed ghosts using the hiway as a pedestrian walkway
On the toll road after dark, I always (barely) see locals in dark clothing on the verge or walking along the divider or even worse, crossing right in
front of me, often with children in similarly dim attire.
I worry all the time that a dirty windshield will cause a tragedy.
