Wow! What an awesome tale. I kept waiting for the punch line and then I saw there wasn't one. Youre lucky to have walked out and still be able to sing this ballad.

Ted, you are one lucky guy, man. Having lived in Calexico roamed a few streets in Mexicalli, San Felipe, Tecate, Ensenada, and yes good ole Tijuana a few times. I know what you are talking about. Things have changed big time. Good in one way, shot to hell in another. I think a good example of your experience would be like that movie "Traffic." I just saw it about a month ago. As I was reading your story, and knowing you in person. You was lucky to have snuck in your weapons. I thought you was Audy Murphy there for a minute. I can't even imagine what the jailhouse was like, from what I heard it's nothing like Club Med. I knew what you felt to a certain extent. Yes my friend you were very very lucky...glad to see you back and you made home in one piece. If I was you I would send your story to the San Diego Newspaper. I heard recently the Mexican government, took lot of property some where around Tijuana or Ensenada from US citizens who had beach front views. I know it wwill be a long time before things really change in Mexico. As much as I like going into Mexico, I have no desire to go into certain areas. Mainly because it's just like you described it.

Oh my gosh Ted!

I was a wondering where you'd snuck off to. I hadn't checked the kids postings yet to see who won, but I had noticed I hadn't seen you about these parts for a time or two. I thought maybe you had just taken a ceista (sp?) from the BB.

Dam, I am glad you are OK!

It's tales like these (and seeing too many movies) that make me feel better about not being able to afford to travel the world... or neighboring areas.

I'd probably be "ok" in Canada, but then you know those crazy Canadians... ya just never know! (just a little lite humor to break the seriousness of it all... not making light of the matter with Ted!)

Remember thought to check your "GUNS" at the border as the RCMP don't like firearms here!

TBuk,

How bizarre that while we where all snug in our beds, we had no idea that you were in a Mexican prizon. Thank God you are okay, and that you returned home to tell us about it. Some people never do.

Welcome home Ted.

TBUCK,

Mamma always said to watch out for the banditos in Mexico. Sorry about yer luck.

Have a friend that spent some time in Mexican prison. He was caught with a rifle in his car somewhere near the border. They wanted $$$ (lots of it)to get him out. After they got their money, they couldn't find record they'd received it... (hmmmm?) He spent a year or two holed up eating soup and tortillas.

He doesn't care go go near Mexico again, but what surprises me the most is, he still loves tortillas.

Cher.

Tbuk,
Wow. I felt like I was reading a Hemingway story. I guess we have a lot in common, I would have found the experience terrifying, and because of that, terribly exciting. It's experiences like this that create the tapestry that is our life and give us appreciation for the simple freedoms we enjoy.

TBUK

I have always enjoyed your posts when I was a "lurker"

I can understandstand why you get into so much trouble.But, yet you also intrique me in so many ways.

I can't help but notice how "clear" you are on your first post, before, I had to decipher what the hell you were saying.( not metaphorically... but simple english )

Glad to see you back, but as a Canadian, I don't understand what you have gone through.

Thanks
Mark
