This was early on when we were first down there! We did our rotation of personnel and as usual I had been down there for about a month, it was a Sunday, and the city doesn't wake up til noon! We started at 7 am and there were a lot of first timers there at the time! Well they decided to go to lunch early, I told them there wasn't much open at 11 am on a Sunday, but was over ruled! LOL! This was always a problem down there with 4 people to a car getting everyone to agree on where to go to eat!… Continue

This was (to me) the funniest thing I saw the whole time I was there! I've mentioned before that my boss there wasn't tight with the cash.

I talked to him recently and he said he was having major breathing problems, and on oxygen, but I never expected we'd lose him so soon!

I spoke on an earlier post about a friend who got into some trouble, he went to Michigan and got stuck there, he had a girlfriend in Mexico and they were going to get married there, so he moved most of his things there, well anyway, she had to leave the home they were renting there and she came to stay with Patti and me until she could go back to her moms!
