The Mighty Skillet

Today was a day full of shopping. Shopping until I could not shop any more. At one point I was so exhausted and needed a photo opportunity. So I raised the skillet into the air (that I had just purchased for my wife) and snapped this lovely iPhone photo. Hope you shopping was not as last minute as mine was.

Mexican Sunset

one last photo from my days in Mexico last week. This was the sky at sunset. When you're in the mountains, the sunset's are really amazing.

Bimbo

bimbo [bim-boh]
–noun, plural -bos, -boes. Slang.

  1. a foolish, stupid, or inept person.
  2. a man or fellow, often a disreputable or contemptible one.
  3. Disparaging and Offensive. an attractive but stupid young woman, esp. one with loose morals.

None of these definitions is positive, yet here in Mexico there is a company called Bimbo that produces cookies, chips, sandwiches, and snacks. Guess they won't be selling them in the US under this name any time soon.

Mexican Power Lines

Some more images of Mexico.  These power lines span a long distance and beneath them you will find crops, soccer fields, and lots of trash.

ALTO Means Stop

The composition of this photos is intentional. Here in Mexico, a STOP (ALTO) sign does not mean stop. It really means yield, or more exactly "kinda sorta stop if you want to, but just go ahead" I'm afraid the yield sign is just for decoration, because that doesn't even seem to make a difference at all.
