BB,
Are you trying to copy and paste? This message board has a bug that sometimes prevents the pasted text from displaying. It has to do with punctuation
and special characters.

Yessss Copy and paste from M Word. Thanks SF I will re-type.
Third try.
Good morning all. I have finally been able to register. Though a long time lurker, the reg process has always been maxed out, soooo this is my first
and second post.
Though I am not Hispanic I feel a kinship with the Mexican people, having been married to one for 50 plus years (hence the name BajaBeaner. Also
mylast name is Bean so.....
One request PLEASE do not refer to me as Mr Bean.
I have traveled much of Baja and some of the mainland and speak some Spanish. I rode with Shari on an overnight bus from Ensenada to GN when she was
returning from her fathers funeral in Canada.
Sweet lady. Hi Sheri. Stayed at her B and B and in the campground on a subsequent trip. Hi to Jim and Toni. I have done the whale trip 3 times.
Once at San Ignacio and twice at Scammons.
I am trying to organnize a motorcycle trip down but all the guys I ride with are chicken. Anyone up for this? I live in SoCal about 90 miles from
the border.
Hope this one is successful.
Have a great day and thanks for the help.

Welcome again!
As noted, if you write something on Word, it cannot contain apostrophes, quotation marks, and (also if you type here direct) any Spanish letters,
accent marks, degree symbols.
This is an issue with a new software from last November the web host says he will fix... someday?

Thank you for the warm welcome. My first post had a reply suggesting that I change my handle insomuch as BajaBeaner may have racist overtones. If
that is a general consensus I will be happy to do so, however, since my name is Bean I hope to find forgiveness and acceptance.
PS We once had a chihuahua that my Mexican wife named Beaner.

I see that my first and second posts have been combined. Thank you.
Regarding my handle we have two for change and one for not.
I suppose this could be construed as a poll.
By the way does a reply count as a post toward the lofty goal of 25 to become eligible for an avatar?

Sr. Bean - no offense meant, but not everyone who reads your posts in the future is going to read the explanation of your name. Whether they call you
out about it or not, a lot of people are going to assume you are being insensitive, offensive, and/or racist. Is that really the first impression you
want to give people?
Honestly, changing it now will probably save you a fair amount of hassle down the road.

I say keep it. If they are that sensitive, you probably don't want to chat with them anyway.

Ok Ok 4 and a dictionary for change and the final vote for change came from my wife. Mea Culpa. I will henceforth be known as BajaBean.
I bow to popular PC opinion.
Motoged You must have seen Rowen Atkinson in his goofy movie
Mr Bean. He make a mockery of my name.
