Well, I upset the wife a few minutes ago
« on: August 04, 2011 - 09:30:20 PM »
I had been gone mostly up in Canada for about 3 months. Went to work early off of disability and decided to heal up as I worked...lol  Was going to work in Ca but got detour'ed to Mexico I guess for a couple of weeks, then back up to Manitoba, Ca. , then California. I will miss our wedding anniversary. She doesn't mind that so much as the last time I went to Mexico, I got robbed by the police. Took all my American money, then left me hangin. Time before that, our escort van got stolen and a gun fight broke out right beside me.  The wife thinks I am in danger again, so she got all teary eyed and started pleading with me not to go. But I have to go. So she is a wee bit upset with me, and worried about me right now. I try to explain that the longer I work, the better our retirement is going to be. I have about 3 yrs left till I am ready to hang up my clothes and put up the suite cases. I like to bring Peggy with me when I am working in the states, but this year has had me going out of the country a lot. 

For the members that know me, I am asking a favor of you.  Please reply in this post and tell her not to worry, and look towards our future. I will be ok, and we can celebrate our anniversary when I return.  She is worried I may get hurt this time.  With my job, I can get hurt anywhere at anytime. She understands this as I am constantly getting cut on, poisoned, or cooked alive. I usually bounce back, just at my age, Im moving a bit slower now adays. But I will return back home. With hugs and gifts for her.

Peggy,
First off, it was a pleasure meeting you a few years ago and I still dream about the steak you filled my belly with. My wife and I just recently went down to Rosarito, Mx in the Baja de California. It was fine down there. I live in a border town and am quite in tune to security risks on that side of the border. As long as Al isn't in with the cartels he will be fine. The casualties you hear about on TV are from the cartels and the families and associates of the cartels. It is, easily, more dangerous in Gary, Indiana than in Mexico.

If any Mexicans mess with Al, I'm sure that a c-c.c "aggressive negotiation team" can convince them of the error of their ways.

Just by being aware of any problems and the surroundings he has the problem licked!  Not to worry!  PK

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words. It means a lot to me to know that Alan has such good friends. I have met a few of you, and those I haven't, I feel I know you as well.
I will still worry about Alan, no matter where he goes. Even out in his shop, which by the way, is what I call his dog house!! He tries his best to get me upset so he can go out there!  LOL
I appreciate you all! Thanks for being so nice and caring about my feelings. Just keep Alan in your thoughts and prayers for a safe  trip down there . Best wishes to you all.
