Re: Hybrids and Homeland Security
That reminds me of the time I took a wrong turn in Mexico when I was on a motorcycle ride. As I reached the crest of the hill, I came across a military checkpoint! I don't speak Mexican, and the 30 or so soldiers with machine guns (which all pretty much looked like they were all of 16 or 17 years old!) approached me and started asking questions in Mexican. I responded, "no habla Espaniol." They then said something to the effect of "Rocky Point" which was a tourist location, in the other direction. I nodded yes and they pointed in the direction in which I came. I steadily and slowly made my way back to my motorcycle and slowly rode off. I headed right back for the US border! Man, the thought of a Mexican prison... <<shudder>>
