Scout’s Whereabouts…

I’m actually now in Mazatlan but I couldn’t get the server to post here yesterday.
Some, well maybe most, of the scenery is to die for….but iPhoto has gone wonky on me and judging by a google search to correct it, iphoto has gone wonky on many.
hmm, 2,000 kilometers or more to go to be in the United States. Meantime I’m mostly looking through the windshield at Mexico. I do get some swims in and small walks….Mexico isn’t exactly hiker’s paradise although it has the potential. Rather than parks and the like, the money seems to be going into the highways. My stack of toll road receipts is mucho grande by now.
I’ve hit CBC a few times and read about the Canadian coalition government , plus visited some of my amigo y amiga’s blogs. All I can think is how much Canada needs to revamp the system and augment democracy by following principles and decision making matrix’s based on sustainability to take the politics out of governance.
It’s time.

I can think of several reasons why the Harper government has to go, but you touched on reason #1: we need electoral reform, and Harper chose to go in the opposite direction, that of corporate funding of political parties.
P.S. Is the Durango-Mazatlan road in your travel plans? If you think you’ve already seen some great scenery…

hey bob! yup, more corporate welfare…same old same old. as for the durango-mazatlan road, no, not this go round (if i ever venture to drive here again). i’ve read about it and it sounds cool, but i have to get to hermisollo a.s.a.p. to get a duplicate of my driver’s licence to get over the u.s. border (licence was stolen by an acapulco cop who wanted $100 USD for it – no frickin’ way!!!!
however, when i drove Pelenque to San Cristobal it was storming and there were branches down (big ones) , whole parts of the highway vamooses down the cliff, fog, and other hazards….i figure that was good enough. no copper canyon train ride for me either…i’m high tailing it out of here.

Hey Scoutie! Nice to see you posting!
Mazatlan, eh? Good for you! I hope all is going well, except for the computer difficulties, which I’m sure suck.
Exciting times up here in Canada, eh?

coyote, my howling friend! am now only 125 clicks south of hermosilla….getting so close to the u.s. border i can smell it’s sweet smell. where i am now is absolutely gorgeous….i’ll sure miss the scenery of mexico.
ya, boy, the usual dull canadian politics have gone wild…did someone feed them all oats or something?
