    The thirsty parrot

    Ink...I agree...if I know the owner or manager, I will let them know if anything was unsatisfactory....the food, service, whatever...but that is because I have some kind of "relationship" with them....and they know I'm not the typical complaining gringo!!

    Rosie gets the story, all of it!

    Tyler...the point is that finally the story has come out...good or bad...at least we are informed....not wondering if it was true, or what the circumstances were. In previous news stories, there were inaccuracies, or the events didn't even happen in Penasco, etc. etc. etc. BTW....it didn't...

    Rosie gets the story, all of it!

    If people are concerned....just wait at the border after crossing, then form your own caravan! The last trip down, I had instances in both directions of passing a slower moving AZ vehicle at about the halfway point, and then the people speeding up and staying on my tail until we hit Penasco, or...

    The thirsty parrot

    Just some more rambling on my part and this subject.....I ate at the Thirsty Parrot once....several months ago. I can't recall what I had...don't recall that it was bad (that is something I would remember)....but not memorable right now. I will probably try it again sometime. If the food is not...

    Rosie gets the story, all of it!

    Good report......FINALLY!!! It's only taken how long???? I'm not going to go into how these things can happen anywhere, including in the states, but, trying to sweep it under the table will not help the current economic situation in Penasco. If anything, it can sour the relationship with...

    The thirsty parrot

    First of all....which post/poster are you referring to? Second, we are not talking about a guest/friend to your home and a "hospitality" issue...we're talking about a business. It s not the responsibility of a customer to correct problems with the food or service at an establishment....and you...

    Diesel prices

    Bill...I think they were about 7.91 pesos/lt. over New Year's....and I got somewhere around 12.9 pesos to the dollar exchange at the ATM, so about $2.32/gallon. I think I had paid $2.48 in Phoenix at 59 Ave/I-10 , but that was up to $2.67/gal this week. I'm heading down this weekend, so will...

    How old are you Tires?

    Naw....no Parnelli Jones nowadays......although I did have a lead foot in my younger days....lived in Texarkana (dry), and the closest watering hole was Shreveport/Bossier City...about 80 miles....that was a weekly drive for a bottle of brew....and I've been known to lose a cop or two in...

    How old are you Tires?

    Sometimes it's unavoidable when the road is littered with a couple of blown tires, and you're towing a trailer....:sad:

    How old are you Tires?

    Yeah...because most people are too lazy, or don't know how...and call AAA or some other service!!!:rofl:They'll sit there for an hour on their cell phones instead of doing the job themselves in 15 minutes.

    How old are you Tires?

    I still see many tires on the road that have separated....and they're not necessarily truck tires that have gone thru the re-thread process. I believe that is the problem with the "old tires"...they have thread separation which is contributed to by the extreme heat we have in AZ....and even...

    How old are you Tires?

    Interesting clip....had me checking my tires....I guess it's a good thing I usually buy from Discount Tires where they have a pretty good turnover....my latest 2 Michelins were dated from mid year 2009.....

    Car Jacking - 12/26/09

    Okay...it's been over a week since the car hijacking, and no additional information has been posted....so I'm providing a link that has some information....take it with a grain of salt, considering the website that it was on....but some of the info matches up with stuff I heard while I was down...
