my sicilian neighbor used to call my dog Clio a maroon when she rushed in to visit him
a bunch of other Italian words too
I wish I remembered them now
I've lost my italian since I moved to tucson
when hubby gets home from work ask him if maroon is sicilian word, and what it means
Love, Palo

Village of Mulege..

An oasis in the desert. The Cortez is off to the right.....
.....Westy...

[lodwick]

heheh - yeah, it's a very good idea to stop dueling with unarmed opponents. Saves a lot of serenity for your soul.

Clem is being pimped around as a hick woods Talisman of sorts - we'll see how it/he goes. Prolly poorly.

[palo verde]

Clem is on the Guild!
westy, your boy gets around
I hope Sam is not jealous
first Clem got promoted, then he's making with the gals on Guild

[palo verde]

I can see the Cortez!!
it's blue

[westmex]

Yep, ole Clem is easily bought..Guess it is good thing we found out he couldn't be trusted with something as dangerous as a candle all night long.....
......Westy...

[palo verde]

when did we find out Clem couldn't handle the candle
when I was on thon?
did he set the joint on fire

[westmex]

A little more history...During the Mexican War the U.S.Navy tried to land a force at Mulege. A rag tag group of locals drove them off....

Humphrey Bogart is one of my favorites...I just saw the 'African Queen' the other day...and CasaBlanca, and the 'Maltese Falcon', are some of my favorite movies...

The 'Three Stooges' is also one of my favorites..when I was a kid, we would run home from school, in a big hurry, to turn on the TV, and see the great Stooges...even today, I watch them in the afternoon, when they are on AMC

And Dracula, the old, old one with Belga Lugosi, is one of my favorite all time horror flicks...

Happy and I have great taste in films...

[westmex]

When he up and left his job as night watchman just like that. Would you trust someone like that????
.....Westy...

[palo verde]

how did the Navy arrive, by sea
maybe the locals were more motivated
I don't see why the US Navy would want to take Baja

[palo verde]

I love the same movies you do, andysmom
recently when I was upset bout something, and spirit was trying to calm me down
spirit said ''here's looking at you, kid''
it's amazing how much it helped me

[palo verde]

he deserted his post

but how could he resist
look at the offer he was made
he got to supplant Bloody Sam Roberts, a dashing wicked pirate
when you hired Clem for nightwatchman, he was lucky to get the job
he's bigtime now

[westmex]

It was during Mexican War when the US invaded Mexico..The Navy landed in Alta California too..Yes they came in warships, was probably Marines that tried to land...They did get ashore at San Jose del Cabo..We probably could have kept Baja like we did AZ, NM and CA but no American wanted it then..

[palo verde]

I just felt a breath of air
is it possible this long afternoon will wind down
and cool shady night will embrace tucson

[palo verde]

so until the Mexican War I would be sitting in Mexico right now
no wonder it's hot

[palo verde]

didn't your State belong to Russia at one time
that explains your cool climate

[westmex]

Along the Rio Mulege..

Don't know what kind of bird it is..lol..
.....Westy...

[palo verde]

oh that looks refreshing
I love rivers

[westmex]

Don't think Russia exerted much influence here..They had a fort down in Calif. though..We had trouble with the Brits though. Hudson Bay Co. had a fort on the Columbia River by Portland OR. and there was the Pig War in the San Juan islands. Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany mediated that dispute...
