(picture the multitudes of Zombie-Chiros roaming every dark recess of the planet... ha, ha, ha )<br /><br />We aren't doing so well, though, are we? Ecuador seems to have escaped saturation point so far.<br /><br />Med-Heads rule the world, even among all the "natural" ex-hippies.<br /><br />Take a pill for this, take some meds for that...<br /><br />The walking and natural foods habits in Cuenca is so refreshing and encouraging to read about.<br /><br />Haven't read about motorized scooters or handicap stickers in any of the Ecuador blogs so far... Imagine that!<br /><br />BTW Edd... did you purchase a bicycle in Cuenca, or have it shipped?<br /><br />And... since I'm from Texas, I had high hopes for this BBQ post of yours when I read the title.<br /><br />The punch-line of Limp-McRib was downright frightening.<br /><br />Oh well, back to the drawing board. Problems are opportunities in disguise.<br /><br />Take care my friend,<br /><br />Dr. Q in Texas<br />____________________Dr. Michael Quadlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910738474775431654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761596656009288835.post-13257200086190173952010-09-23T20:02:04.075-03:002010-09-23T20:02:04.075-03:00Dude, you've gotta understand the backstory. ...Dude, you've gotta understand the backstory. I'm from Atlanta, home of Life College--where they used to crank out new chiropractors like rabbits.

Talk radio? One of my favorite philosophers said back in the 70's, "When you've gotten the message, hang up the phone." So, no,all that yammering brings to my mind a cow regurgitating its cud. I've met one chiropractor and I'm sure there are a few more, but it's not like the States where you guys and nail salons compete for space in every strip center. One reason is we don't HAVE strip centers here, thank goodness!!Edd Statonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087303161307567127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761596656009288835.post-11120416006328219242010-09-22T14:11:45.452-03:002010-09-22T14:11:45.452-03:00Mr. Ed,
Long time listener, first time caller...
...Mr. Ed,<br /><br />Long time listener, first time caller...<br /><br />Don't you really miss Talk-radio in the US?<br /><br />I live in New Braunfels, Texas in the Hill country between Austin and San Antonio.<br /><br />Actually, I just found your blogger-blog yesterday.<br /><br />The most entertaining of the blogs I found, without a doubt!<br /><br />The fifty-cent Bus Ride to Hell on ol' #16 was hilarious... :-)<br /><br />About 70 posts in all since 2008.<br /><br />I read/listened to ALL your posts and comments yesterday.<br /><br />Gotta little bit of obsessive-compulsive in me...<br /><br />There were so many posts that I loaded up the last half of 2010 in my speed reader software to listen to before drifting off to sleep.<br /><br />Hearing your stories through the voice of Microsoft Mary at 120% speed makes it all the more surreal.<br /><br />Whenever you wrote 'possible manana' I thought she was saying 'exposed bananas' !<br /><br />I thought it was gonna be another story about your Don Juan style with some poor wife of a local Ecuadorian... :-)<br /><br />Estoy su hombre... I'm your man!<br /><br />Anyway, my wife and I look forward to a visit there soon.<br /><br />Have investigated enough on the Internet.<br /><br />We plan to move there in 2011.<br /><br />I moved to Cancun, Mexico 30 years ago on the spur of the moment.<br /><br />Cancun and Cuenca, almost the same 6 letters... hmmm...<br /><br />Jammed up the car and drove for 3 days from Houston to Cancun with my girlfriend at the time and her young daughter.<br /><br />We stayed for 2 years. I ran a big time nightclub there. Learned a little Spanish...<br /><br />Even started having dreams in Spanish after a year!<br /><br />That's a real turning point in the language journey.<br /><br />Back to the present, I see Cuenca in my family's near future.<br /><br />As Yogi Berra says, 'Looks like deja-vu all over again...'<br /><br />Got all 3 time references into those last 2 sentences... kinda made me dizzy for a minute.<br /><br />I have been a full-time practicing chiropractic doctor in Texas now for 22 years.<br /><br />Ed, are there any chiropractors in Cuenca?<br /><br />Gotta run for now...<br /><br />Your friend in Texas,<br />Dr. Michael Quadlander<br /><br />P.S. Even though I don't know you and your family, I still wish to convey my sympathy to your recent family loss.<br /><br />Vaya con Dios, my friend...<br />______________________________Dr. Michael Quadlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910738474775431654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1761596656009288835.post-41842089850364074202010-09-21T21:52:28.223-03:002010-09-21T21:52:28.223-03:00Survey says:
