    nah. his description was dead on. i was wrtiting a reply post to that effect last night and then changed my mind.

    when you live in third world countries...you have to get it off your chest sometimes. I could rant for a while myself!

    i got stuck in a 12 foot aluminum jon boat about 5 miles off shore in the pacific with no floatation devices when the motor went dead....why did the motor go dead? becuase the idiot owner didnt fix it from the last time the motor stranded him......the week before! and he left the back up engine on shore because "he didnt feel like taking it"....this is when he knew the current motor needed repairs.

    I was also robbed by a cop in Mexico City (my least favorite city on the planet), and i drive a 1981 diesel jeep on an abandoned dirt road to work in order to avoid the manic traffic...and my country is among the most adavnced in latin america. the phone, water, internet, insurance etc....are all governmnet owned monopolies...if one goes down....there is NO alternative. it is illegal to have an alternative.

    lets just say that living down here is a daily adventure.

    but it is like anything else....if it were easy anybody could do it.

    the adventure and challenge makes for a fruitful life.

  6. Did you ever see a tiger? Did you ever kill one? Ever been on a snipe hunt? They sound very similar. How many tigers live in the western hemisphere? Were you in a zoo?
