You can’t flush toilet paper

I found this out…the hard way. Toilet paper goes in the bin, yes, even at home. Actually, especially at home! Hotels are always the exception. They must have a special plumbing system or the money to deal with it because when I travel, it’s not required. But trust me, you do not want plumbing issues in Mexico because there are already enough plumbing issues.

It’s stinky

The city’s infrastructure is so dated, their plumbing is decades behind, and the streets are often littered. Walking down a beautiful pathway in Oaxaca, your nose will often be assaulted by a dreadful smell. It usually passes but sometimes it lingers especially in Oaxaca’s dry hot climate.

Chatting with a friend who lives there with her young daughter about Oaxaca; real estate is very affordable...

I've got this figured out. I'm going to spend 100K on lottery tickets. If I don't win, I'll sue the state for 10 million for being negligent in selling the tickets and letting me do that. Sounds like a plan.

They have less than 4000 miles on them. Unfortunately one is punctured through through the tread by fender shards. I'd love to find another Alfa and keep this one for parts. There are none for sale for several states away at this time though and the shipping cost would make it prohibitive to get one from further away.

The tires on the picture you posted still look pretty good.  I'd buy a car that they will fit.

I hear that you can get some great Firestone tires at Sam's right now.

And here are the digs it buys you... scroll down to the second home  at $39.9M.  An unidentified HFM bought this as an upgrade from this $25M home in Aspen.  A home he is considering keeping for guests.

My husband and I did it, but you have to not have a mortgage payment and not have many bills like credit cards or car payments.

This thread title is a joke, right?
