If I can handle uptown Nanaimo I'm sure I can handle a puny town called "Fresno".

Perhaps I spoke too soon...

If he shows up at your door just hog tie him and drop him off NAS Lemoore and say he a Marine Crops. deserter...

It'll take them at least a few hours before they figure out who he really is and in the mean time he can get a real nice crash course on military bearing..:devil:
 
You guys are so mean...

On a serious note, where are you going to in Mexico?

I'm going to spend some time in mexico city and then in Chiapas, and then probably go down to Nicuragua and maybe spend some time in Panama.

If you're coming down the I-5 through Oregon, let me know and if possible I'll meet you and buy lunch or dinner.

Good. I'll need as many free meals as I can get. :biggrin:

You live in Fresno? No wonder you have such a bad attitude. :biggrin:

I used to hang out in Fresno with my cousins from time to time, and we often went duck hunting at the dikes near Mendota. I think the average summer temp in Fresno is what, about 135F?

Yah, that's about right. We really don't know what the hell you people are complaining about with global warming.

I don't think you want to go to Fresno. :biggrin:

My cousin calls it "the armpit of California".

And no, the city doesn't smell.
