I remain mighty proud that one of my stories made it into one of Bernie's books. When you read this, humble scribe, know that I'm in your corner
somehow. I wish you peace of mind. Perry

Edited by LG to remove the msg to DK since his posts were removed
And ... DK since you made the remark before its removal, I had nothing to do with the removal of any post. Really DK, havent you learned that some
people appreciate your knowledge, and recognize your efforts, but, not every thread you post on necessitates your puffing. Again ask Baja Angel to
explain to you the finer points of appropriate and inappropriate behavior. And if she cant, then perhaps of the more eloquent and diplomatic Nomads
can/will.
In speaking w/Jaime this morn, Bernie has had a series of medical issues .. he is a fighter and they were enjoying his-n-her pedicures .. I will let
them explain.
More love for Bernie, plz, along the line of Perry and Shari .. thanks.

Maybe he's waiting for the polish to dry?
Don't make us wait too long, Bernie!

Thinking of my many friends
Well—Yep! I’m sure that is how I currently feel. Ingesting a bit of Baja dust would probably improve this condition but my doctor tells me it will be
a while before that can happen again. I had a can of the Baja dust set aside for just such an emergency—however upon opening the dust was gone in a
poof.
As I was thinking upon this happening a neat Baja Gal phoned Jaime and after a lengthy conversation she ended by telling Jaime that I was a legend on
this board. Funny, I thought I was still alive but I went to see my doctor, the one who decided that I had a broken back, and asked him if I was
still alive. He told me that, yes in fact you are still alive and kicking. You will be in a bit of pain until your back heals and occasionally you
will wish you were dead.
So there you see I am quite alive because I can feel the pain so much of the time. Guess that refutes the silly rumor that I am a legend. I know that
this is not true because I am alive and even occasionally kicking.
We all know that legends are folks who have died and had songs sung about them or just nice things said in the local paper—like Jimmy Smith or Fred
Hoctor—those guys are real Baja Legends and they are truly dead so I rest my case.
Respectively submitted to those who raised this silly question.
Oh! Dennis you are most correct, as usual, doing that toe thing with one you love normally does lead to more interesting things. At this point,
however, the back does not allow for much more than a relaxing form of massage…Yeah—damn is right.
Oh! I sould tell you that one of Jaimes Sunset Beach friends called, a short while back, and wanted to know when I had died...She assured her that
this was not the case and it just showed how lazy I could get. A week later we had lunch with them and I asked ..."just what did I die from". Glad
they had no answer.
Later my friends and thank you Cabo Magic

A freakin' broken back? Jeeezo...that sucks. How in hell did a living legend [that's you, Bernie] break your freakin' back?
Did this broken back thing have anything to do with sex? I sure hope so.
Get well, ol' man. Wishing you the best.

Get on the mend!
Well Bernie, though we've only met a few times, we've spent many days at La Salina not knowing we were neighbors, us at Angel's Camp. No doubt we've
spent time at Benson's together, and didn't even know it.....All this from one former cop to another - to say hurry and heal, retuning soon to the
land of No Hurry No Worry!

Man, That is just way to damn funny...Been a long time since I heard the name Benson...not to many around who even know what, where or who it was.
Perhaps one day I'll buy a bottle of 'sknunk beer'

Bernie & Bensons
Yea Bernie, our kids were mere little ones, sharing and crawling around the floor with lobsters. They are now 42 & 40 - the kids - not the
lobsters. Barbara recalls singing and sitting on the piano with Lefty and "Bang-away" playing.

Smiley and Bangaway
Oh! Yeck yes...And playing Caybos (spelling), a dice game, until 4 0r 5 am...Just tons of memories...Shooting darts with Eddie until my arm would
fall of.Outdoor outhouse for the guys and indoor plumbing for the ladies only.
Folks stranded and could not get into Angels sleeping wherever they could find a spot in the Cantana until the tide went out.
So damn many more memory's
Thanks for stoking them.

When all of the dust settles, and the car has been washed, memories are the best part of a Baja Affair.
Keep them alive and well, Bernie.
You owe us another book, by the way. There's a special place on my Baja book shelf just awaiting its arrival.
