I thought you were talking about that Rich Black Gal who built the 40 million dollar school in Africa.

Hmmmm, anyone remember my story about our Orca experience in the channel between Danzante and Carmen (Loreto area) ? Can't remember if I posted it on the Amigos site? That was a close encounter of the Orca kind, never to be forgotten! We ran ahead of the pod and shut down the boat. They came right to us.........huge Orca head on the swim step, a foot :o from me.......staring at me with his huge eye....EEEKKKKk, stroking the dorsal fin as he ran it along side of the boat, Now THATs an Orca story. I think I may be able to pull it up from Mijas El Fuerte website and post it here.Awesome creatures, once in a lifetime experience...:o

Anybody ever eat those little red crabs????

Batter fried some live one time, kinda like eating the fried heads from a sweet shrimp...not bad, not that good , but not bad....

Hey jackweed, I thought I asked your sorry butt not to post on any of my threads. Go find a grieving widow to harass. I understand you're pretty good at that.

Tomas Tierra. Would advise against making a meal out of fried crab, shrimp etc. without first removing the shell. Tastes real good, a little crunchy, but you will never forget your next trip to the john.:o:O

No Jackweeds here.


Or even Tobacco anymore.

You must be thinking of one of your Hippie friends from the Commune.

I will form a study group sub-committee and give your "request" the serious consideration that it deserves. I'll keep you posted on the deliberations.

A toasty 15 degrees here this a.m. It doesn't bother me, though, because I have such a Warm Heart.

I'm not touching that one with a ten foot pole. Never again. Last time I suggested something like that I took a ration of uh, heat, from marv. They are anything you want them to be, marv. ++Ken++ :) :)

Okra grows very well here. You just have to add water. We ate okra all summer.
If you have a gardener, weeder, helper be sure to identify it for them because the juvenile plants look too much like castor and the locals will pluck them right out.
Back to the whales!
