Well you hardly did that. You told one anecdotal story about two friends, tied a neat bow around it, and announced the subject resolved...Dear Lord.

+1 Choosing a pet should have that special moment of bonding. Near impossible to replicate when an animal that has it's own wants and needs is thrust upon someone who may not be committed either emotionally or financially.

I'll just leave you with this....At Jorge's Shrimp Shack, there's not a bottle of gin on the shelf, I don't even see a bottle of Tequila. I mean what's a bar without Cabo Wabo laying around. I rest my case.... http://tequilaaficionado.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/cabo_wabo_sammy_hagar_4.png

So all that is left is "ask me?" Holy crap!! The boys aren't going to like that.

So in summation you're telling me that, One... You really didn't open the link I provided. Two...Your signature here is correct. Three...Mexico is a long ways to go just to get some cock, and four...I'd probably love Grand Luxxe in Neuvo Vallarta. Jeez Louise Steven... It does look lovely...

I can live with that. BUT...please take a moment to examine the map link below. Scroll to desired area, and please note the highlighted areas in Mexico compared to that of the US. Now gotta run, Maddow is about to come on. https://travelmaps.state.gov/TSGMap/?extent=-0.879381859,47.401628436,20.397707357,54.42135931

Too old for the High schools and too old to dance. Now the stripper bars are another thing... Anyway back at the ranch, there was this...I've been on that ferry.

LMAO...thanks for the invite, but my next trip is to Bangcock. My days of going down, down south are long gone. You didn't see Fort Lauderdale on that list of US cities did you. ;)That's because were in Trump country, and we cling to our guns and religion down here..(OK that was joke)

Of course you are ignoring the fact that the whole of the Baja peninsula is under a travel warning and that Mazatlan as well as Acapulco is under a "Do not travel" warning. Not just the city, but the entire region. None such exists in the US..we can throw stats back and forth all day, but no one is saying that Mexico is more dangerous than other places in the world, but my point was that it would be foolish to say that it was as safe. You love PV, I get it, nothing wrong with that, lots of good Mexican cock down there, but there is an element of reality here and to say the Mexico is just as safe as Palm Springs, is just categorically incorrect... There's a pretty big world out there, and I choose to travel where it is more likely than not that I won't be coming home to the casa in a body bag.... And no, I wouldn't walk the streets of Detroit, or New Orleans, or Baltimore, or Birmingham or...unaccompanied. End of my rant...

There are countless places in the world where gay men can walk down the street holding hands safely. As one example, it is common place in many cities right here in south Florida.

It is a shame. The whole of Baja including my once loved destination of Cabo is under a travel warning.

Your defense of Mexico is long standing, and my caution about traveling there is equally so. We've had this discussion many times before, however there are currently 5 areas of Mexico that are marked "do not travel" and numerous ones that are marked as "increased caution". None such exists stateside. The reason that there is more violence in Mexico is not the issue. The issue is that for tourists it does exist, and those traveling there should exercise more caution than in the US. My issue also is with the Mexican authorities, as Charlie mentioned. Sweeping crime under the rug, denying the facts. As with my friend who was stabbed 17 times in some back alley and my housekeeper, who's father was gunned down in the streets of Acapulco. Both occasions, friends and family were warned not to come to Mexico. If they did, then there would be trouble. As I mentioned before, the world is inherently a more dangerous place to travel in. I am far more cautious in the US than I ever have been before, but I exercise more caution south of the border. It's unlikely that you will convince me otherwise. I had a condo in Cabo at one time when I lived in LA, but that was a different time...Sold it years ago and moved on. https://www.wokv.com/travel/issues-not-travel-advisory-mexico/HytfwumQNrsUeW09aGpFIM/ U.S. issues ‘do not travel’ advisory for 5 states in Mexico By: Kelcie Willis, Cox Media Group National Content Desk January 11, 2018 12:32 AM The U.S. Department of State has issued a travel advisory urging citizens to use increased caution when traveling to five states in Mexico. USA Today reported that the new warning from the government has increased the Colima, Guerrero, Michoacán, Sinaloa and Tamaulipas states to a level 4, the highest level of potential danger. The warning for the states, issued Thursday, was raised due to crime. The State Department already recommends that travelers use “increased caution” when in Mexico because of widespread crime, such as kidnapping, homicide, carjacking and robbery, USA Today reported. The department recommends that those who decide to travel to Mexico to use toll roads, avoid night driving, be extra vigilant when visiting banks and ATMs, use caution when visiting local bars, nightclubs and casinos, and to avoid displaying signs of wealth. Travelers are also urged to enroll in Smart Traveler Enrollment Program to make locating easier in an emergency and to have an emergency contingency plan. Travelers should also review crime and safety reports for Mexico.

There are some travel advisories that should be considered. Making sweeping generalizations about safe travel to Mexico is irresponsible. There are some travel restrictions that should be considered. Some areas are only "exercise increased caution" to "Do not travel"...Having two friends murdered in Mexico that the Mexican government refused to investigate seriously, I know first hand it is a frustrating situation. The world has become an inherently more dangerous place to travel. Extra caution should always be taken, whether or not you are stateside or outside the continental United States. It is often difficult to hide the fact that you are a tourist, and as such we become natural targets. I am far more cautious when traveling today than I did 10 or 15 years ago.

Excellent link...

It's almost unanimous. No face pic, no hire. There a lot of things that I will overlook in an ad, but "No Face Pic" is a deal breaker. I dodged a bullet once with 'the Waffle'...and it was a lesson learned.

Big Ric....Love your spirit, and hope you have a great day!!

Well said...

YES! That was a great episode...

As with most things...beauty is in the eye of the beholder. http://fancytuning.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/chrome-wrapped-mercedes-sls-amg-gt3-racer-3.jpg

Interesting information.

I sympathize with you. I used to be that way, in fact I used to prepare my personal life as if I wasn't going to return home. I would say goodbye to family and friends, and make arrangements for friends to adopt my dog in case I didn't return. It was horrible. It took awhile, but I slowly got over it. Flying now is an absolute joy. It should be noted that there are therapist that deal with this exact kind of fear. If you do a lot of flying, it might be worth looking into...

I have never once "played" at Burke Williams...period! You lied and stretched the truth to suit your own narrative, and now you accuse me of engaging in illegal activity. Perhaps it's not your ethnicity that's turning people off to you...
