I'll lo...No, I haven't seen Al's post. I'll look for it in a minute.<br /><br />I'm simply amazed on a daily basis, given all the crazy things and chances I've taken all my life that I am still alive. I truly shake my head in amazement. <br /><br />I don't worry about being killed by a gun or anything like that. I'm more concerned about falling down a flight of stairs or falling in the shower. Both more likely then something bad befalling me in public.<br /><br />Crime is relatively non-existent in Mexico if you're not a narco. But, to tell you the truth, I didn't worry either in the USA! <br /><br />AND, for that reason, I think, I've had an amazing life...........so far! In fact, I'm off to drive to the beach, hoping I have a place to stay when I get there. IF I don't, something will work out. Life is about having an adventure, isn't it?Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-79462465734631408652015-12-07T17:32:59.759-06:002015-12-07T17:32:59.759-06:00Hola Barbara!
Did you see Stew & Al's pos...Hola Barbara!<br /><br />Did you see Stew & Al's post about how the tables are turned now? They're asking how people could possibly feel safe in the USA. And I have to say, despite the dangers from narco-criminals, I simply do not worry about terrorism in Mexico. Though, truth be told, I don't worry much about it here either. Lost in all of the hyperbole is the fact that ordinary gun violence kills about 30,000 Americans yearly, year in and year out. And it's so common that it's barely reported in the media. The odds that any one of us will be a victim of terrorism is so small as to not be worth worrying about. <br /><br />And oddly, the things people should be worried about -- all those guns, drunk drivers, other car accidents, drug-resistant bacteria -- don't seem to merit a flicker of worry. <br /><br />So thank you for the message of peace. But it comes from within, so we all need to think about that. <br /><br />Saludos,<br /><br />Kim G<br />Boston, MA<br /><i>Where we take lots of reasonable precautions and then don't worry.</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-39854458530215724032015-12-06T09:41:18.456-06:002015-12-06T09:41:18.456-06:00Steve, that is because you love cold weather!

It's moments like that that I treasure. Even though I awaken in the night trying to solve the current issues of the USA, I will bask in the beauty of the canyon or wherever I am, always.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-75514008613528456332015-12-06T08:56:24.786-06:002015-12-06T08:56:24.786-06:00I never even noticed the lack of weather-stripping...I never even noticed the lack of weather-stripping.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-66445419171142040662015-12-06T06:24:10.132-06:002015-12-06T06:24:10.132-06:00This is probably the most depressing holiday seaso...This is probably the most depressing holiday season ever. Even though I rarely turn on the TV, it is impossible to escape the lunacy and hatred that seems to be occurring everywhere. As horrendous as recent events have been, for me they have been overshadowed by the fact that one of my dearest friends is gravely ill and not expected to make it to Christmas.<br /> <br />But we must go on with our lives and savor every bit of happiness and beauty. I have a couple short trips planned in the upcoming weeks to celebrate the season with friends and family, and I look forward to another trip to Mexico in January.<br /> <br />I hope you enjoy every moment with your family during the Christmas season, and that we can all recapture some of the joy of this time of year.<br />¡Paz!Retired Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697897155105288077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-87129041071772576672015-12-05T20:02:48.111-06:002015-12-05T20:02:48.111-06:00Thank you Joan for your poignant comment.

I so agree.......I've gotten where I don't even want to turn the TV on and when I do its to some insignificant thing like planting gardens or something simple and non-violent!
