This post riddled with precautionary adjectives!" a knife to a Gunfight"

"TRAVEL ALERT"

"developing situation"

"aggressive representatives"

"easily be mistaken for some sort of authority"

"WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU GO STRAIGHT THROUGH THE AIRPORT"

" DO NOT EVEN TALK TO THESE PEOPLE"

"I highly recommend having at least 700 pesos",

" unforeseen costs"

"wear a pouch under my shirt"

" cash just for safety"

This sounds like a blast.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC-65) Roman philosopher and playwright.

Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) U.S. poet, essayist and lecturer.

Courage leads to heaven; fear leads to death.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC-65) Roman philosopher and playwright.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) U.S. humorist, writer, and lecturer.

The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of circumstances.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) U.S. humorist, writer, and lecturer.

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others.

Winston Churchill (1874-1965) British politician

Don, is it really safe down there? You could get kilt!

Or worse, you could lose your virginity!

No worries Mark, I will constantly be wearing my Safe Conduct Madonna and Child Roman Catholic Protection Medallion!

I was telling a patient about my upcoming trip and he asked if I wasn't afraid of the banditos. I looked in the waiting room at all of the 80 + year olds and told him I was more afraid of that.

My Fellow Baja Travelers: Two weeks from today you and your "Motocicleta muy Rapido" (bike) will be photographed at this exact same spot, with all of your Mexico riding Amigos y Amigas. This is at the far end of Bahia de La Paz on Playa de Tecolote, next to the best seafood restaurant in all of Mexico. I sure wish that Fast Eddie and Frenchy Doucet could rejoin us for this Cabo San Lucas ride, SkooterG - meh!

-35C this morning up here in the north.

Driving to work this morning I found myself re-evaluating (again) why I live here. So when I got into work, I hit up the web and found Cabos San Lucas, return, $715.

Hmmmm...

Course, I won't be using that 'return' part.

If you move to the Twin Capes Steve-O here is Papa Chuys' recommendation on where to live, the charming surf village of Todos Santos (All Saints) just 50 kilometers north of CSL on the Pacific side. Surfing 7 days a week here should cure those ungodly white legs of yours, plus I guess there is no need to mention to you how gorgeous and hot Mexican Senoritas are!
