Thanks Dr Phil.Russ I am positive about one thing, you are somewhat confused about what is a positive view and what is denial. From your view it appears that the world is perfect and no change is needed. I think that is denial. Denial is a way to refuse to recognize and take responsibility for problems in your life, in your family's life, in your community's life. All is fine so I can just relax. A rather selfish view that can create monumental problems in society and one's individual life. I believe that you had a monumental issue in your life in which I suspect your denial contributed to. Deny a problem and you do not have to do anything. Entonces your so called positive energy hurts, true. It is an impediment to positive change since your view is no change is necessary. Something perfect requires no change. The only thing that is perfect, unchangeable, is death itself.
I have an image of you watching neighbor's house burn while other throw water on the fire, with the comment ' well it is what it is'. You are just the guy for Emergency Preparedness.
You popping up about an innocuous question is a fine example and illustrates your wish is to stifle any thought about or what you call criticism or possible identification of a problem. Hey problems exist but apparently not in your mind. Take a little responsibility for positive change in the community you profess to love, identify a problem and work toward fixing it and not something like a messed up title that needs to be 'rectified' so you can perform urban renewal and some some money.
Personally being a fan of good sarcasm since it can have Positive effects, I would not elevate his comments to this level. Snide come to mind more than sarcastic.Don't flatter yourself, Russ. No approval of your incoherent sarcasm was intended.
Yes, well since I have never had anything against Russ or positive thinking per se, I toned it down to be nice.Personally being a fan of good sarcasm since it can have Positive effects, I would not elevate his comments to this level. Snide come to mind more than sarcastic.
Unless you're the driver waiting for water.Sounds like a good life to me.
Oooooo too much to respond to.Thanks Dr Phil.
I do not think the world is perfect...far from it. I find it confusing when people who do not have a dog in the fight put their 2 cents in as if it was important. As a matter of fact I have had monumental tragedies in my life that I could not control yet had no part in. I am a product of that. That of course is none of your business. Complaining about a problem without the desire to help is pointless. I think I would throw water on my neighbors house if it was on fire. Oh by the way I really can't care less of what you think you know who I am or not. The guy at the top...Kiko Munro is responsible for what goes on in the city, not the gringos that think they know better. I will let him do his job instead of putting some sort of "I am better than you" twist on it.
Now now, don't get Russ all riled up with your negative comments.Unless you're the driver waiting for water.
Thank you for your answer to a relatively simple question that some have problems giving.There's one 4" water line coming into Cholla and one valve to fill trucks. (drivers have to record their water usage to pay later)
If the water flow is good a truck can be filled in 30 minutes or so.
But lately it's pretty slow and when the resorts are full it takes hours to fill one truck.
Sorry, gringo is not used as a bad word.So according to you Russ, unless I own property I have no dog in the fight? And if I'm a gringo you think non of my concerns are worth the spit you have for us? Stinks of racism on your part. What does being a gringo, which is offensive in the context you use it, have anything to do with this subject? My question is rhetorical as I'm sure Russ has a negative answer to me as I'm only a tourist with no dog in the game and will not bless the Russ bus with my presents.
PS. Somewhere in the 'no dog in the fight' category, people who owned homes in Peñasco but who didn't live there year a round were also not supposed to express an opinion according to Honorary Mayor Russ, as I understood it.
Over and out.
It's all good. Negative "know it alls" have their place too! And yes I do love life!It sounds like Russ just really loves life, see's the glass as more than 1/2 full.
More people need to have that carefree attitude.
But being able to live in Mexico full time would be great, problems and all.
The Russ permanent resident demographic in Rocky Point...have not figured the percentages yetPS.

Well since you asked, you can choose to say whatever you want .... or nothing if you choose. You can also choose to not read other's posts if they are so upsetting to you because they don't conform to yours. As long as members are conforming to forum rules they can say whatever they want without worrying about whether a forum member agrees or not.As a foreigner I am not allowed to hold office but thanks! Really though, if Tucson or Phoenix or Chino Valley had a water problem - what would I have to say about that? I do not have a say as I don't live there.
