What Is Left For One To Do

[JohnWhite]

Well T-Netters…Another day has come to a close…And it is time to hit the hay…I hope tomorrow is as bright as it was today…I am growing weary of mañana siempre mañana…I will continue to hope and pray that one day soon it will be “TODAY IS THE DAY!!!”…But until then…

Good night and sweet dreams…

I wonder IF I would find any gold in this tiny rock if I crushed it and panned itNow that is a silly question, if I do say so myself…And what about platinum

It’s like I always say…The proof is in the pudding…And I still have a small amount of pudding left…

I almost forgot tonight’s fortune from Panda Express…

Have a great evening ya’ll…

I have been there…And I have done that…My amigo who took me there is very I’ll…I am not certain IF he will make it…I can only hope that he pulls through…I don’t even care if we ever do any more prospecting…

I am quite certain that Santa Fe is not located here in the US…You may believe what you choose to believe…

Yeah, sure hope he pulls through...
My hunting buddy is in bad physical shape too, so I relate....

The doctors told a friend that he has anywhere from 6 months to 2 years left…I am hoping for a miracle…His wife has already sold 5 cows to get money for his treatment…Not to mention the funds his friends and family have contributed…His wife even broke down and purchased a funeral package…I believe that even she has come to the realization that he is worse than she wanted to believe…

I hope your hunting buddy gets better…I know it is pretty depressing when bad things happen to those close to us…

I thought I was in bad shape with my bad shoulder, neck, and back but I know there are people in far worse condition than me…

Heck…Even Elon Musk stated he had some back pain when he was testifying…

There are times that life really is “like a box of chocolates”…For times like these, there is music…

I do not believe that the Tesoro de las eglesias de Santa Fe has anything to do with the Santa Fe trail…I personally believe that it has something to do with the treasures of the churches of the holy faith…

U.S. State Department warns to avoid parts of Mexico over ongoing violence, kidnappings

https://www.latimes.com/world-natio...ico-travel-warning-violence-kidnappings-crime

The State Department is urging U.S. citizens to avoid travel to parts of Mexico over fears of kidnappings and other crime across multiple states, renewing warnings as tourists make travel plans for spring break season.


The department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs has issued multiple advisories in the last several weeks over the ongoing violence in Mexico. Cartel violence erupted in Culiacan in early January after authorities arrested Ovidio Guzmán, a leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel and son of imprisoned drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.


A State Department spokesperson said the safety and security of U.S. citizens is the department’s highest priority, adding that officials are aiming to provide relevant information for people to make travel plans. Rather than issue a nationwide risk assessment for Mexico, the department provides a state-by-state summary.

Heck there are a lot / most of American city's that I would avoid also ! Even my home town is getting dangerous ! Even the police are smart enough to stay out of some areas ! Shootings are running ramped everywhere !

Just the usual dragging of bodies after a cartel shootout in broad daylight, today in Matamoros.

Well…I just got back from a 2 week stay in a level 4 area of Mexico, Sinaloa…My best friend and prospecting partner of many years passed on my birthday…I tried my best to make it there for his funeral but the airlines overbooked the flight and gave my seat to someone else, Volaris sucks…I have heard they are the Spirit airline of Mexico…

Oh well…I don’t think I will be doing any more prospecting down South in the foreseeable future…

Life will go on…

It is getting so much harder to use my darned mortar and pestle with my darned arthritis…Oh well…I don’t think I will be chasing the prospectors dreams much longer anyhow…

I think that it really doesn’t matter that much anymore anyway…

After all…Those prospector dreams can’t be found everywhere nor just anywhere…

It is where it is…I have even heard a rumor that a certain well to doer is associated with an emerald mine…

Go figure…Some people have all the luck…

Conditions are not the same as compared to 22 plus years ago.
Glad you are still intact and of good spirt being in a level 4 area.

Now you have me wondering about emeralds........lol.
Nothing wrong about downsizing your ambition's when it comes to finding minerals and gems.

You may have more skills then many out there so it is not just luck.

So true…I was talking to some people I know down South…And they have told me that the government is making it so much harder to even grow tomatoes…And many growers are starting to try their luck at prospecting…I even told them that if they can process 1 ounce of silver a day…They can earn more than the average pay a Mexican citizen earns per day…

Go figure…
