Ramblings of a Simplistic Mind

hi friend I don't believe in those competitions who change rules during the race
they had to inform people before the start of the last comp. not to arrive on sunday to discover that I couldn't see the top 10 and vote 'cause I was not a contact. I don't like things like those and that's why, not being the master, I decided to leave it. ciao

hello & thanks for visiting my site
i like your photo , what does it take to join this picture competition ?

Thank you for the very kind word Light, I feel better just reading your words, especially: " happy healing hot fudge sundae "!!! One has to at least smile when reading that!!!! Thanks again.

LOL, I had to think on this theme...I don't take pics of buildings which I should since I love architecture.. I am sure I will since E. is here..and I bet u will find something. ju always come up w/a great one.

Wishing you happiness, sunshine, pancakes and other lovely stuff! OK, it's been pouring with rain here, but a lazy rainy weekend (mixed with some serious house-cleaning) is good, too, as long as it doesn't get a habit. Have a good start into the new week! Hugs x2 ;)

Please see my entry for this week's Picture perfect at - http://tinyurl.com/3qc7m2 . Thank you.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY..
Where have u been?

most welcome dear friend to my home away from your home far away @ india, i am happy to see your specs and red shirt printed on my homepage

Wow , Katie Melua sounds great, I have not heard of her before!!! I will make a note on her so I can look her up!!! Thanks for that Light, always looking for good music!!!!

Morning Light, Afternoon there though? Thanks for the comments too. I meant to ask you how the little ones foot is doing? Healed by now I hope. To answer you question, most reports tend to blame Garcia (he was a member of the Murieta gang). Details are slim though, Vasquez, Garcia and Higuera are the only Mexicans (that is politically incorrect I know, but I am speaking in terms of that time, and in reading the different accounts, Vasquez for sure still considered himself a Mexican citizen and did not recognize the US government) mentioned by name, and being a large fandago i am sure there were others in attendance. Although I would be considered a 'gringo', one cannot not help but admire the man for standing up for his convictions, and he and his gang tried not to kill unless they needed too. Something went wrong in the Tres Pinos robbery as the three murders were totally out of the norm for his criminal activities. Murieta's and his gang on the other hand would kill out of hand. Oh one more thing that I find commendable in Vasquez, one of the earliest times he got into trouble is he stabbed a 'gringo' who was (fuzzy history here) bothering, assualting a woman friend or Vasquez's cousin, and the Monterey shooting happened because either people wanted to dance with the same girl, or the 'gringo's were giving the senoritas a hard time. From my readings I would like to believe Vasquez was standing up for the ladies in question. Sorry to get so long winded Light, history fascinates me!! Enjoy the day.
