    How to address an Advancing Dog ..in Español please!!

    The farm dogs i encountered while working the farms and ranches generally had better things to do than get bent when i was working... A simple but firm "easy killer" intoned with conviction usually drew them up Working dogs Witchy little pets of back woods dwellers usually were the most...

    Lightning

    Theres a line in a song from a few years ago "The experience of survival is the key" Thats a bloody chunk of the whole phrase. But i think its germain. Getting inured to an experience doesnt take away from the danger or hazards.. It just isnt immediate to the moments Experienced. I have...

    The Anxiety is the hard part. Having to deal with that constant ache is a pain in rear. Sleeping is no escape...but life goes on and everyone has their something. Its hard to hear when someone has to feel the need to have a "totem" or semblance of something at hand to feel comfortable enough to...

    Buying pepper spray in Madrid

    It IS quite unsettling and life changing. When they came for 5 cars one nite, it was a culmination of incursions going on for about 2 weeks. When another thief drove up beside me one nite..i took care of business. Its been 2 years or so since and life did change forever. The hyper vigilance,the...

    Buying pepper spray in Madrid

    No opinion on OPs request. But there may be rules,laws and regulations regarding the deployment of OC spray. Why When... and conversely, would it be considered assault on the person? Is there differences in the provinces where deployed? Just food for research.

    A message to groups of men, and to us all.

    It is. As a disabled person i fear crowds and for my personal safety from jostles and accidents that will paralyse me. I fear what people at work with nefarious ideation may attempt on my person. I work anyway. Living in fear is not living..its existing. Tripping and falling are real dangers to...

    A message to groups of men, and to us all.

    I listen to my own council. They would not walk a mile in mine nor would I ask them..as i just wrote a long post sure to be mis quoted or compared to whatabout isms.. Implying that i cannot look at it from anothers perspective is not a good start. It implys insensitivities and dullness. Walk...

    Violent bagpipe player outside cathedral

    Same .same here...simplifys matters. When i photograph surfers, they will wave or gesture the universal what..or begin to show what they have. One asked if he could see what i took..then offered me cash...I told him the Joy and life in his riding was enough payment. 30 pics sent later.

    So sad

    The unknown.. Makes a monster from a shadow A wolf from a barking dog I hesitate to approach the unknown With the length and breadth of the experience..in front of me..too many variables to count Add the stories which undoubtedly have been part and parcel of the Camino since year one,and you...
