Never a problem in Europe with Mexican DL, but age sure is.

Is this the only time the word "confused" is used in this thread? I don´t know if she was confused or not, but I do know there is a difference on gear identification between R and D, and not being able to handle that minor aspect of driving would have to be poor eyesight, confusion, or possibly a medical condition, all or any of which, should preclude one from driving.

What more facts? you have seen the photos of where the vehicle wound up, the knocked down steel pipe in concrete, the shattered to a million pieces plate glass store front. I suppose we will get a confession from the Caterpillar operator who shoved her through the obstacles.

Exactly, saying she had an "accident" and not be held accountable or that´s somehow acceptable doesn´t cut it with me. Aging should not be an excuse for poor driving ability for senior or any other citizens. Most of these driving through store fronts in this area over the last few years has been older drivers who should not be driving. It´s like. "Oh I only drove through one or two and it was an "accident". Give me a break......there comes a time when people just don´t have the physical reflexes or become mentally "confused", AND SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING.

Her brakes repeatedly failed? Looks more like she repeatedly failed to apply the brakes properly until the last moment before the fruit stand. In any event, it sure does indicate some very slow reflexes to a problem that she could have reacted to a whole lot quicker. Coming from a dead stop parked to where it wound up through the glass would be understandable if she was moving down the Carretera and lost control and wound up where she did. And who would have "planted" skid marks later?.....Pancho?.....Bomberos?.....the lady herself? Talk about conspiracy theories.

Calm down and carry on Bonbelle, it is quite evident that you are not all one and the same, at least, that you are not. You sent out a coupe of false positives that had some people thinking that but that´s all in the past. Have a good day and keep on doing what you´re doing. pappysmarket is not mean at all, in fact he´s curmudgeonly friendly.

Thanks pappy The Celtic pagan circle overlaid with a Roman Catholic cross combining the ancient religion with Christianity. The largest stone Celtic crosses in the world, three of them, 1500 years old and between 20 to 30 ft. high, are in a cemetery about an hour north of Dublin. There is a smaller one with my family name in the same cemetery. When I took my Mexican grand daughters there, they were impressed. The name of the place is Monasterboice and is on the tourist list of places to visit. I had not seen or heard of the place/photo that you posted. Thanks again BTW, that other Irishman with the initials S. C., formerly of Calle Zaragosa, Ajijic, says, Hi...Well, actually, he didn´t say anything but I will tell him too,,,,,

i can´t imagine remembering Rolly on his birthday as being something that someone would wonder why it is being brought up. He was respected and well thought of about as much as any human can hope for.

What made them wait so long before stopping the forward motion?

I thought she was replying to Lexy?

Shaw Satellite service out of Canada carries lots of NFL games on the US networks that they provide. I´m sure the other satellite companies carry them as well. Probably even on some Mexican networks. Easily picked up in this area.

Ah yes, the curious minds. Most of the time I give them the same answer…….pog mo thóin ! I´ll give you a little hint laddie, in Eire cows are for dairy and lamb is for meat, amongst the land creatures. The bull calves/steers get slaughtered and the meat is exported as Irish beef. Kerry Gold is giving Land O Lakes a run for their money in the butter competition in the US.

Where did you see the "range of symptoms" ?

Very good advice in this particular incidence as someone should be supervising the OP on such matters.

Or show off this unlimited encyclopedic knowledge that comes across about as false as a three dollar bill, projecting an image that I can´t buy into.

If reality could only live up to press releases!!!!

Without a doubt !

They have been in business here for 30 years, same owners, and I have had TV service from them that whole time. If they were going to run with your money, they would be the slowest runners I have ever seen. Turtles and snails would be faster.

Ajijic Electronics just changed my LNB a few weeks back, and everything works fine. I think that was the only problem for the Shaw changeover.

Since when???

Send her to the US Consulate in GDL, they will straighten her out.

Only if you are hospitalized or physically unable to travel and have medical verification of same from cedula accredited physicians.

Southwest corner of Hidalgo and Madero

Couldn't agree more, there are so many kinds of food here to eat, I can´t imagine missing anything.
