Is it November yet?

I know it's only the end of September and October begins tomorrow, however I want November to get here as fast as possible for two reasons.

The first reason is a return trip to Baja with some good friends for two weeks of playing in the dirt, sand, silt and sun, with a few beach days thrown in.

Baja is one of those magical places where time has little meaning, unless it siesta time.

"Idiot" laws don't exist so there are few idiots to be found.

The "social" network is what takes place at the local cantina, which is usually a brick structure with a corrugated, rusted, metal roof.  If you're in the cantina, your part of the network.

The food of the gods, namely street tacos, can be found everywhere.  The further outside the tourist areas the better they taste.

And, if you're into anything that involves playing in the dirt, hiking, biking, motorcycling or 4X4ing, Baja is a huge playground!

The other reason is the US elections!  It's about time this third rate circus act comes to an end.  I'm at the point where I really don't care who wins as both candidates and their cronies have done a fabulous job of further dividing the country and it's time to try and bring the country back together, which will be a daunting task regardless of who wins.

Both sides have taken mud slinging, back stabbing, closet hunting for skeletons and fear mongering to a new level.  This has been further amplified by CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc... and their endless lineup of talking heads who's "expertise" will fade away the instant a winner is announced.

I'll be leaving for Mexico the day after the election so it will be an interesting and exciting time.
