Big pair of cojones


















This one is kind of hard to spot. Put in an arrow in my not so favorite color for illustration. This guy (under the shadow of the truck), apparently ran into some vehicle trouble. In the middle of the street, with moving traffic, with no one to assist him, with no emergency lights or signs just popped his head underneath the truck and starting poking around. Can you imagine what happens if another car slightly hits his truck in the back?

This is the land of men of great cojones, but most importantly, the land where anything is possible.

To my loyal fans... all 5 of you (I know that I am the laughing stock of the joke, but I love to say/write it any way :p ). I know I haven't been writing a lot lately, my apologies. It's not a lack of material or inspiration. I have the bad habit of writing what's on my mind, and at the moment that's not he best of ideas. Pretty soon you will get your periodic fix of the green's non sense. Just wait.

A mixture of old and new technologies.



































I took this pictures on a not so recent visit to a place with not so fond memories... my old college. I have a friend who works in one of the library's departments.

The main computer that they use for their daily work is an old Compaq Armada, which can't even hold it's monitor open. So what does this brilliant, future engineer devise? Simple, he uses his portable dvd player to hold the screen and prevent it from falling.

I've heard of theories on synergies and bridging the technological divide between different generations, but this is pushing it a bit.

Who says we aren't in a siesta country?!
































Mexico and spain have long had the reputation of being the primary siesta countries. I say, we are more a siesta country than any other. And to prove that you have these pictures. We got people sleeping, double parked, in the middle of the street, with moving transit! Yes we do! If this isn't the best country in the world, we have to be second best.

A shout out to verdecito. Thanks for the pic and the support for the blog who's list of subscribers is now in the... tens (expecting hundreds?? :p).
