♬ iF I WERE A RiCH MAN ♬

Postby Jean Loup » Mon Jan 04, 2016 1:46 pm

Not that my poor bastard's life lacks anything, no: I've been throug Life experiences few have survived, not only unscatered but with renewed joy of living. Not that I am braver than others either: all my senses are so much into piloting my Life as surrounding events unfold, that by the time I should be scared I already have reached a safe port. I never have enaugh time to spend in scares that solve nothing.

I was seating at Nicole's Bajo el Volcán coffee shop (REAL coffee in REAL cups, no synthetic Starbucks in cardboard burning fingers) enjoying a REAL chocolate cake. Since all other tables were ocupied by a female reunion of sorts, another gentleman seated at my table & after the traditional "Buenos días" started reading his newspaper, since the environmental chatter was too loud for prived conversations. This females wearing jewelry & driving the most expensive automobiles available in México, had plenty of time to spend & never worked in their entire life: that's what maids are for, anyway. Their chatter turned to how much they suffered because of owning all that money, the responsabilities & bank accounts with plenty of traps, while the poor had a happy go lucky life, in country homes with plenty of flowers and bees & NEVER worried about any bank or anything.

The gentleman put down his newspaper and looked into my eyes, saying: "Maybe money does not bring happiness, but when I have a REAL problem, having money allows me to solve it inmediatly!!" We started conversing and it turns out I was having coffee with one of the wealthiest persons of Cuernabullets, the owner of La Casa de la Bola (the House of the Round Ball, the most expensive real estate of Cuernabullets). His name was Casasola, son of the photographer that shot the whole mexican revolution in film & made a fortune. He lived the winter here & the summer he spended at Mallorca where he had another estate, but he behaved as a normal person like you and me.

This preamble is because I liked this video & having the mulah, I would do the same. I understand perfectly when you are wealthy and enjoy life to the fullest using lots of money (but very few millonaires know how), I do not own an aircraft but piloting my VW Combi of 1973 vintage into the mexican weather & scenery is as good as it gets!!

:think: NOTE.- Cuernabullets (Cuernabalas in castilian) is the nickname we give to Cuernavaca City in our present & unsecure times. The good part is, the streets are so full of holes that they can't aim at you with all that bouncing when driving around. No street maintenance must be part of a security plan from our Mayor, an ex-futbol player :doh: :doh: :doh:

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
