I turned turned off the T.V. and climbed under the covers and slept deeply..YOU just reminded me of the Earthquake that happened sometime between then and now...the dogs started barking and I woke up and found a place on the floor where glass/etc falling objects wouldn't hit me. It seemed to go on and on for quite some time but nothing was harmed here...we are about six hours (by car) South of Chiapas (where I was for my birthday on August 25th..I hope everyone is unharmed there and beyond in Mexico and Guatemala...this was, no doubt a very STRONG earthquake and I will find out more about it right now.

For me, I feel very comfortable in my small village...I am respected to a degree that I notice and I certainly mix with everyone as opposed to running in a specialized group...I have always been that way...I don't isolate and I feel part of as opposed to outside. As for those who would harm LGBTI people I know they are everywhere including near you those white immigrants from Northern Europe who KILL in the name of their manhood...never forget that Latinos are basically loving and have a great sense of humor...that sets the standard for everyday life around here.<br />Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667415590825321701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795165206797872713.post-73103400365725497682015-10-27T05:07:40.009-06:002015-10-27T05:07:40.009-06:00Off-topic (I'll respond to your interesting po...Off-topic (I'll respond to your interesting post later!): Len, I saw this story, and am concerned for you.

Interesting. Today ...UPDATE TODAY SEPTEMBER 2015 <br /><br />Interesting. Today I received many visitors to this very old post...I just reread it and all the comments and I feel quite certain that Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury has NOT yet measured up to the challenge of being a full-fledged spiritual leader at the Anglican Communion. When he visited Guatemala a few years ago I observed he had darting eyes...I think I know why..the mans behavior so far makes him the ARCHOBSERVER at the Anglican Communion and this he'd rather duck any serious stuff regarding LGBTI Anglicans at all levels of Churchlife...so be it, Justin, I get it aka I caught your act and it's quite a shifty performance to date.Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667415590825321701noreply@blogger.com
