We went to Mexico to get ahead. We smuggled cheese to get back.

Regarding living in the Baja area and the mainland, I'd like to know what Gringos do about water...Do they all stick to drinking bottled water or using filter systems? And what about cooking with water and eating in the restaurants? Are there any problems? Back in the 1970s, I did a road trip into interior Mexico and ate some cereal with leche (milk). I got really sick (probably the infamous Montezuma's Revenge). Don't know if anything has changed in the way of sanitation since then... http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/dec...

Ner Tamid Synagogue

Regarding Rabbi Cain's comment about what happens after death: Anyone that wants to sell you a picture of what it looks like is a charlatan because once we go there we don’t come back to talk about it. There are thousands of people who have had Near Death Experiences and vividly described what happens and where they have gone. In addition, there now are many websites, books, and documentaries on the subject. Even the Father of Analytical Psychology, Carl Jung, had a Near Death Experience. The following information is from www.near-death.com: In a hospital in Switzerland in 1944, the world-renowned psychiatrist Carl G. Jung, had a heart attack and then a near-death experience. His vivid encounter with the light, plus the intensely meaningful insights led Jung to conclude that his experience came from something real and eternal. Jung's experience is unique in that he saw the Earth from a vantage point of about a thousand miles above it. His incredibly accurate view of the Earth from outer space was described about two decades before astronauts in space first described it. Subsequently, as he reflected on life after death, Jung recalled the meditating Hindu from his near-death experience and read it as a parable of the archetypal Higher Self, the God-image within. Carl Jung, who founded analytical psychology, centered on the archetypes of the collective unconscious. From Carl Jung: It seemed to me that I was high up in space. Far below I saw the globe of the Earth, bathed in a gloriously blue light. I saw the deep blue sea and the continents. Far below my feet lay Ceylon, and in the distance ahead of me the subcontinent of India. My field of vision did not include the whole Earth, but its global shape was plainly distinguishable and its outlines shone with a silvery gleam through that wonderful blue light. In many places the globe seemed colored, or spotted dark green like oxidized silver. Far away to the left lay a broad expanse - the reddish-yellow desert of Arabia; it was as though the silver of the Earth had there assumed a reddish-gold hue. Then came the Red Sea, and far, far back - as if in the upper left of a map - I could just make out a bit of the Mediterranean. My gaze was directed chiefly toward that. Everything else appeared indistinct. I could also see the snow-covered Himalayas, but in that direction it was foggy or cloudy. I did not look to the right at all. I knew that I was on the point of departing from the Earth. To read more, go to: http://www.near-death.com/jung.html

People Will Tell You That You're Late and You'll Hate Them for It

That was a great story. It reminds me of a lot of jerks I had to work with when I was at the County of San Diego for quite a few years. Ninety nine per cent of the staff was great, but there always were one or two who had the maturity of a 3-year old... We always, though, were allowed to go to medical or dental appointments and if a family member died, we were given a minimum of three days bereavement leave (more if you added your vacation time). An investigation of USPS definitely should be conducted. It sounds like there is blatant discrimination and all kinds of abuse going on. I would not be surprised if these activities have been going on for the past sixty years. Regarding access to a restroom, carriers should be allowed to use bottles in their vehicles, regardless if someone forgot to remove theirs. Why should the whole staff be penalized because of one person? Serious health consequences can occur when a person does not relieve themself for long periods--just ask any public school teacher. And if a carrier wants to use my bathroom anytime, that is fine with me. After all, we are only human...

My House Has Wheels

Back in 1973, I drove a 1968 Dodge Window Van from the woods of Maine to Santa Barbara, California. I literally put my bedroom in the back of the van, complete with a twin-size bed. For cooking, I used an electric skillet and plugged it into outlets behind gas stations. It took me a week to drive cross country and was a great trip and I met all kinds of different people... When I got to Santa Barbara, where I attended Brooks Institute of Photography, I would drive the van on weekends to a monastery in the mountains and park overnight--and no one ever told me to leave. :)

Twitter Addict

Twitter Woman should approach it like working at a company with specified days and hours, such as Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and leave it alone after those times; otherwise, burn-out eventually will take place... By the way, what's with the eye mask...? Are you really Zorro? If so, where's your cape?
