Departure | Today is the day I die.

You must not ask why. Just believe that I love you.
 Go, my darling.

Today is the day I die.
Family gathered in my wake
Arms extended,  I can fly
Departure's paid with heart's ache.

Your stain still upon my lips.
This last call divides our hearts.
Purgatory between  trips
Lovers meet as ending's start.

One last kiss before I board.
Cross check my arms for goodbye.
Lives flashed, regret and love soared.
Casket sealed ascends your cries.

A hand flush against window
She screams into infinity.
Tragedy in letting go.
Your test: opportunity.

Arrivals return strangers.
Reincarnated they fly
Not changing is my danger.
Today is the day I die.

Can you mix R-12 Freon and R-134a? Yes.

Can you mix R-12 and R-134a? The answer may surprise you. No doubt this is a very controversial subject, and only you can decide what is right for you and your car. The simple answer is yes, you can mix them. For the most part, you can add a R-12 to R-134a retrofit valve (for about $8), buy a hose with a gauge ($19), and a can of standard R-134a, and simply top-off your system. Of course this is when someone will barge into this conversation screaming, yelling, and declaring that you can't do it, so let me explain.

First we need to accept there's a lot false information on the Internet. This subject is no different. I'll be honest, I don't have a good reason to tell you exactly why the EPA recommended complete retrofits, instead of mixing the two refrigerants, other than the scientists who made the recommendation decided the "average person" might not understand  the complexity of the consequences in such a decision, or simply the powers-that-be anticipated R-…

Tijuana Donkey Show

What is the Tijuana Donkey Show you ask? You're thinking, I've been to Tijuana, I love their Papas & Beer. It has got to involve cute little donkeys, happy little Mexicans and they put on a show right? Sort of like the Mexican Broadway musical version of Shrek?

WRONG!

So what is it? The authentico version of the TJ Donkey Show usually is held in a dirt floor bar or discoteca (a dance floor) where patrons are taxi-cabbed in and the cabbies get a cut. The gringos (stupid white people) are then are enticed to purchase large amounts of cerveza (beer) or gamble while waiting for the main event, a beautiful, scantly clad Latina woman (not to mention handsomely paid) arousing a restrained donkey lying on its back. (Vegas has a similar scam with Celine Dion.) It's not exactly Sesame Street on Ice but more along the lines of Debbie Does Dallas. Just replace the Dallas with a donkey and you get the picture.

To be more precise, outside of conservative America where people don'…

Sightseeing in Coorg and Farting Indians.

Image
The storm of yesterday's chaos gave way to a sunrise that filled our souls in Coorg. Shannon was back to her smiling self, though somewhat hesitant to return to the car. Our adopted dog, Blacky, came running to us as we unzipped the Swiss tent overlooking the meadow on the plantation. Despite the very hot temperatures during the day, the mornings were cold and timid. The sun rose just over the treeline, a sun that's robust, close, and unlike those of North America. It's as if you could reach out and touch it, it's that intimate. The sun becomes a companion to your day, a powerful reminder to its gifts, when it's gone at night and complete darkness shadows our camp.


After another huuuuuuge breakfast from Mr and Mrs Prakash, Tai-ji showed up like a 50s sitcom, arms crossed over the Dutch door with a smile saying, "Good morning". With everyone in a great mood, we popped into the car and headed off for some sightseeing in Madikeri and Coorg. First stop was R…
