Loved the story about the family.

Grew up in Mississippi, left to escape the rednecks and mindset. Ended up in Louisiana -it was worse. Racism is still considered “otay!”, people speed up and swerve to run down dogs, and I actually had to witness a large group of students push a wheelchair bound student out of the way to fill the elevator.

Moved to New Mexico - still stupid redneck assholes (forgive the redundancy) around but near as thick. I may end up being your neighbor soon.

Hey Cojito; Man I thought you weren´t here anymore. I personally don´t have internet (yet), so I haven´t been ´tuning in´much lately. Nicaragua is good to me, Twelve year old Flor De Caña is 286 cordobas — $1.00 is now 19.95 cambio– do the math. I´m 61 years old and I don´t look bad I´ve got females from 13 to 70 asking me if I want a ¨novia¨.I´ve been offered
free living on a 7 acre finca, a stones throw from Lago Apanas, with a 42yr old widow and her three children that includes free medical care from her sister the Doctor. The Finca is filled with mango trees coffee bushes, has a small stream flowing through it. The temperature here is never below 50 and never above 90. Another widow owns a ferriteria. another is single 35 no kids and is half owner of a farmacia. You get the picture.
I live alone in a small house in San Rafael Del Norte(rent $50 mo. housekeeper,$30 mo). The highest town of any size in Nicaragua. 27 kilometers North of Jinotega (less than $1 and 45 minutes by bus)Cool breezes always. You can´t beat that with a stick. My pension is only $800 a month but I live like a king. Damned….. this is great!!!
But keep your hand on your billfold at all times, cause everybody and their brother is looking for a way in.
Come on down and have a drink with me some time. You will probably not want to leave. (I lived in Chandler and Dolan Springs, Az for awhile, not bad, but I´d rather be here.
Fastfreddie.

One night in June
stars shine,
big moon.
In park on bench,
with girl
in clench.

Me smart
me fast,
me get
hitched fast.

Another night
in June,
Stars shine
big moon.

Ain´t happy
no more,
carry baby,
walk floor.

Wife mad
she fuss,
me mad
me cuss.

Me realize
at last,
Me too damned fast.

I remembered this from a ¨Parts Pup¨ magazine when I was a kid. Don´t recall the authors name, it´s been close to 50 yrs.

I didn´t vote because I will not be a part in any manner of a hoax on the american people. anyone with the money to run for president is as crooked as a dogs back leg. The entire USA is crooked, and I feel sorry that(short of a total revolution) the people don´t stand a snowballs chance in hell of getting an honest man past the corporations and into the white house. I personally am glad Obama is hammering in the ¨final nail of the coffin¨. Maybe when the house of cards that corporate america built tumbles the people will wake up, and see that trying to protect their pocketbook with their vote is really turning their pocketbook over to the fatcats.
Cojito, sorry to hear that you chose Arizona to Jinotega, Nicaragua, we now have high-speed internet, and great weather, plenty of Rum and women. Come visit some time.

Cojito! Cranberry bread?! You?! I’m impressed! …and I frequently retort to my relations that Squanto shoulda’ built a damn wall! Keep out those lazy, good-for-nothing, thieving blancos!

Pete - lol You cynical bastard. I plan to use the same routine in Colon. Except for added effect I’ll pin a tearstained “Obama ‘08″ button on my guayabera.

Steven - Lighten-up. I served them turkey and cranberry bread. How much of a scumbag could I really be?

You are a total scumbag for saying such disgusting things about your family. Last I checked people had a right to believe in whatever they want. Let’s hope they live longer than you.

Not sure what Marco is upset about as he didn’t have a dog in this fight. I mean if you can’t even bring yourself to pull the lever for a Cynthia McKinney joke vote then stfu. For myself, having performed my civic duty, I feel totally betrayed by Obama’s choices and the direction he’s chosen.

I had been ready to sit this one out and bite down hard on my opinions until John McCain loaded up those Palin girls on the old ’straight-talk’ express ;-) The fact that the older one was knocked up and getting all the press meant nobody was paying attention to the bewitching Willow. I voted my dirty old penis. (I might have still held back but I desperately needed a visual douche after seeing Chris Matthews on YouTube felching ‘Bama leavin’s from Olberman’s cornhole.)

After having voted I felt free to spend at least the next four years bitching anonymously online about the O-Man’s Stalinist regime while lying to young black women about how I cried when I just knew that America had finally shed its racist past. Now I feel about as wanted (or needed) as John Edwards at his next wedding anniversary.

On the upside I probably still have a better than average chance of getting laid on my next trip to Cahuita. ¡Viva la Revolución!
