Metsito & More

La Curva. The only place for breakfast in Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point). We had a wonderful 2 days in Rocky Point. We haven't been going down much these past few years, last time was Eli & Amber's Wedding for me. It turns into an orgy of tortillas, salsa, frijoles, margaritas, burritos, naps, and all manners of hedonisms when I don't goes often enoughs. One big scrambling yeeehawww. Here's some Jack Kerouac on Mexico.

p. 21 - Lonesome Traveller. ... -- but the moment you cross the little wire gate and you're in Mexico, you feel like you just sneaked out of school when you told the teacher you were sick and she told you you could go home, 2 o'clock in the afternoon. -- You feel as though you just come home from Sunday morning church and you take off your suit and slip into your soft worn smooth cool overalls, to play -- .. It's a great feeling of entering the Pure Land, especially because it's so close to dry faced Arizona and Texas and all over the Southwest - but you can find it, this feeling, this fellaheen feeling about life, that timeless gayety of people not involved in great cultural and civilization issues .. Mexico is generally gentle and fine, even when you travel among the dangerous characters as I did -- "dangerous" in the sense we mean in America -- in fact the further you go away from the border, and deeper down, the finer it is, as though the influence of civilizations hung over the border like a cloud.

Now some bobJuan stuff:

From the dearly departed files: My friend Martha lost her husband Michael recently. All my precious thoughts and love for you and your family babes.

You have to read, as it turns out, to be well read.

From the news recently: Doctors said one man was bitten on the hand after trying to pet a snake. They said the man had been drinking prior to the incident. (I wish I had a dime for everytime...)

Quit resisting resistancelessness.

Why are matters of life and death always taken so seriously?

I've decided to put all my eggs in one basket.

How come there's so much bad information in my blood?
Makes me glad I declined the piss test.

Were the pandemics before television?

I am another bit of living proof, you can live totally happy on less than $100,000 a year.

And from some real people:

Self is realized through selflessness. Lao-Tsu.

Outside of poetry there is no Zen, outside of Zen there is no poetry. Ten'in Ryutaku.

That's it for this time.
