What I Learned Living Off The Grid
It’s a follow-on to these posts: Los Zacatitos Wildlife-ing in Los Zacatitos (incl. a short story of a rattlesnake encounter) Done Deal. Moving to Los Zacatitos, Baja Sur, Mexico. Many Pictures I’m purposely writing this while never having read a single thing about the ins-&-outs of living off grid; i.e., away from municipal electric, gas,…
Read MoreDone Deal. Moving to Los Zacatitos, Baja Sur, Mexico. Many Pictures
Just sealed the deal. While the lease begins May 1, through October, I’ll likely not get back down there until mid-May or so (just got back here to CA yesterday). Beatrice and doggies will arrive mid-June. $650 per month. I’ll just let these photos do the talking. Oh, one thing: the fruit on the fire…

Look, I could give a shit whether he’s found he wants to publicly suck donkey dicks whilst getting pounded by gay Catholic priests from behind…while nuns look on doing little circles. …It was only recently that I even was aware of the deal at all, but Janet “JudgyBitch” Bloomfield’s post crossed my email and made…
Read MoreWildlife-ing in Los Zacatitos (incl. a short story of a rattlesnake encounter)
Last evening I got back from the off-grid Zac’s Bar & Grill here in Los Zacatitos, Baja, Mexico, and was sitting out on the covered patio just musing. Actually, I was watching a gehko on the wall making a mark on a bug. He missed, then jumped after another, later. That was behind a column,…
Read MoreLos Zacatitos
Should I rent the place, I’m going to be anxious picking up guests at the airport and bringing them back. The 10-mile drive from San Jose Los Cabos to here takes 45-minutes through rough, barren terrain. I can already palpably feel their uncertainty and trepidation. Where on Earth is he taking us? Well, pressed for…
Read MoreThere Is No One Perfect Human Microbiome. Or Human Diet. Or Social System. Some Are Better For Some Things Some Times.
I’ll be flying down to Cabo tomorrow morning, again. Staying in “Casa Corazon” in Los Zacatitos, about 8 miles east of San Jose Del Cabo. Beatrice will fly in Saturday. We’re looking to rent the place for about six months. Before I go head-down in preparations, let me leave you with a few things to…
Read MoreHuman Genes 60% Associated With Obesity; Gut Genes 90% Associated With Obesity
I placed a bit of a clue in yesterday’s post, to see if anyone would pick up on it. You are 99.99% genetically identical to every other human on the planet. Whereas, in terms of your gut microbiome genetic sequence, you can be 90% different from the person next to you. Nope, at least not…

The times they are a changin’ You know it, you see it. Je suis fier d’avoir appris à parler français à 30. …Voy a aprender a hablar español a los 54. I’m starting with music.
Read MoreMy Lawnmower-Powered Aircraft Has Arrived
Just yesterday. The manual has been read cover-to-cover, everything quite intuitive if you already know how to fly a hang glider safely. I’ll be busy getting a few things sorted before flying it, such as having the emergency parachute integrated into the harness, then getting all attachment points fitted to my wing. Soon…
Read MoreWhy Do I Go Out Of My Way To Beat You Up So Much?
Because I care. But understand. I don’t give a putrid, runny shit about what you think. Not a one of you. There’s precious little in comments that even ever raises my eyebrow when it’s in contradiction. I care about what you value; because, I know what you really value. And it annoys me that so many…
Read MoreMy Bird’s Eye View of Land’s End Baja Has Shipped
While others rent cars, this is how I plan to explore the tail end of one of the world’s longest peninsulas. Don’t care to dispute which is truly longest between Malaysian, Kamchatka, or Baja. They’re all fucking long. Once I hit TJ (which is about 8 hours drive), it’s 21 hours drive time to Cabo.…
Read MoreDamn, I Have To Fly Down to Cabo San Lucas Again, ASAP
Once you’ve made a real decide, things move quickly. And guess who’s become the great catalyst? Beatrice. After years of trying to get her to take her CTA retirement designed for Bay Area California, move abroad, live for pennies by comparison, and mock American slaves paying for it via W2 safety-net deductions, I think she…

Just a quick note to recommend the thing. Watched it this morning under my new HBONOW subscription, that frees you from being tied to a cable or satellite near GovCo monopoly. Cool also is quick signup under my existing Apple account. Nice work, gentlemen. Anyway, having been on the Internet and in particular, USENET, since…
Read MoreI Will Not Bake Or Sell You A Gay Wedding Cake. Now Go Fuck Off.
I’ve been the handy-man-on-call for an elderly coupla dykes. Happy to do it, and they asked nicely and we were friends. And yea, lots of gay friends over the years. I understand how, like having black friends, that actually makes me anti-gay and anti-black—a total transparent, grandstanding mess for public opinion. Because, as you are…

Let me make it absolutely clear that I take unabashed delight in the frothing at the mouth I’ve had over the last few days, intensified since this last post: Why Did I Finally Go After Jimmy Moore and Michael Eades After Years of Supporting Them? Here’s some fun excerpts in my email this morning from four…
Read MoreWhy Did I Finally Go After Jimmy Moore and Michael Eades After Years of Supporting Them?
I feel like I need to explain myself. And, I think you deserve an explanation. 1. jimmy moore is a faithful man who steadfastly refuses—after years of self-demonstrated failure—to to question his faith. The man’s modus operandi is faith, all the other stuff is just dressing and frosting. In that post: “despite faithfully eating low-carb,…
Read MoreUpdate: Can’t Get Enough of Mexico
I’ve been back from Mexico for 5 days, headed out in 4 hours to go back. Rosarito. Just like the last time, same place. We’ll stop off in Santa Barbara tonight, pick up Bea’s Mexican-heritage parents in Vista tomorrow, and make a weekend of it. In the meantime, here was my dinner two nights ago, Boeuf…
