In front of my hotel, now, is an old Kenworth truck (rectangular headlights of the late 1970s or 80s), and I was allowed to look inside at the PERFECTLY POLISHED dash -- FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!!!
See that center bank of what looks like stops on a PIPE ORGAN??? I wanna drive ANYTHING that drives like a PIPE ORGAN!!!
And my cousin Judy Whitney and her husband Chuck DROVE their own rig together independently for years, seeing ALL of this Beautiful America -- but perhaps STRANGEST is that both Judy and her daughter Wendy have again become very friendly with me (despite all my CRUDE language and ERRORS of my past).
Now THAT is something to Thank God for, no???
>>> ON FATHER'S DAY 2015:
1. I slept like a baby last night, and woke up REFRESHED!!!
2. I smoked a cig outside with some hotel employees, and machine gun fire broke out across the street and it sounded like about a quarter mile away. CIA DRUG MAFIA fighting Mexican Law Enforcement, as usual -- NOTHING to get excited about from our distance.
3. I walked to the convenience store for some good coffee and breakfast, and passed FOUR PEOPLE, all taking their Fathers bouquets of flowers (three had two-dozen bunches of roses -- like you find at Costco -- the other had no money, so had picked his to give to Dad).
4. All through the above items, I was contemplating how to respond to "Testosteroni's" latest email, which I had just read, so retired to my quarters, and here is my response:

Thought I had a short while ago: the guy may have wanted to get
access to your hood release lever so he could sabotage the innards.
If your present "outskirts" service station cannot
replace alternator for, say, $500, have a mainstream station selected to come
and haul away your car to their facility. I expect you will be paying your
present station for their time so far. I doubt their suggestion of expedited
air delivery from the US in several days, supposedly unhampered by customs
inspection. Any station may insist on cash rather than wrangling that can
result with a debit/credit card. Don't complicate things with an eruption,
arrest, court time.
I'm disappointed that at this time you are compelled to denigrate
me AGAIN in your blog and Core 500 emails.

OK, I will try to be my kindest in
examining what Joseph (his real name is Joseph Crawford Faulk Jr., and he's 81 years old -- if he is PROUD of his words and behaviors, then he should USE his legal name. ONLY criminals are afraid to use their real identity -- so let's see how THIS sits with him, no???) has here sent me. And I might as well begin at the
beginning.
As Joseph is well aware from our phone
discussions, an Ethernet cord was used to FAKE a bomb in my car, it set up to
come out of the glove compartment onto my passenger seat where a big LUMP of a
possible bomb hid under some open maps. All contents of the glove compartment
were removed to the floor (and NOT EVEN the valuable things in my car were
missing). If they wanted to ACTUALLY mess with my car’s systems, they would
have simply pulled the latch and then opened the hood.
As Joseph knows from both my blog and
our conversations, my car is NOT at a “service station”, but at a Chevrolet
dealership. In FACT, as Joseph should know, NO SERVICE STATIONS in Mexico do
mechanical work – AT ALL!!!
Please define “mainstream station” – I
have NO IDEA what that would be!!!
Googling, I find that "mainstream station" means the OPPOSITE of this -- or is an obscure term of engineering.
Joseph Faulk may be a LONG-TERM
not-driving NYC recluse, but he believes HE knows about auto repairs and
International Shipping – LOL!!! To begin with, I had to explain the difference
between an alternator and a generator. Joseph had never HEARD of an
alternator!!!
And no one talked of “expedited”, but
of regular air shipment, which takes FAR less time than individuals shipping
through customs, BECAUSE like for frequent travelers who get "easy pass" through US airport security, the two governments have agreed that certain
businesses can be trusted with minimal or NO inspections.
Is this how much contraband gets through??? Of course, but you can’t detail inspect EVERYTHING.
Is this how much contraband gets through??? Of course, but you can’t detail inspect EVERYTHING.
One advantage of using my debit card
to pay for the repairs, is that it PROVES the transaction – and should I need
to contact General Motors about this dealer, it is good to have. Also, when
dealing in CASH, the haggling begins – NOT with plastic, although some
businesses DO tack on 5% surcharge for plastic due to their having to eat
nearly that much in bank fees.
No one cares about my “eruptions” in
Mexico. They might not AGREE with me, but Mexicans actually have FREEDOM OF
SPEECH, while in the USA, Christians and Republicans will even MURDER you if
they don’t like what you say.
“Disappointed”??? Is that ALL??? I
expected you to be ENRAGED, and sulk and not want to speak to me for at LEAST
two weeks – which has been the norm for you after I publish LESS DAMNING things
about your thoughts (I'm not a mind reader, but Joseph occasionally writes about his "thoughts"), words, and actions.
And remember, too, that YOU said,
wrote, or did what I report about you – if you find that DENIGRATING, you
denigrated YOURSELF. I only accurately reported it.

And YES, this includes Joseph Faulk -- who in practical terms, HELPED ME MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE!!!
But he needs to
"Cut the REBOP, Bitches!!!"
