Especially since a little nice weather does tend to help put a person in a better frame of mind.<br />Not sure if there's such as thing as a good balance between too much and too little "crap". The very nice weather in P.R. was sometimes overshadowed by the distinct lack of government involvement. <br />As an example, there were people driving around for years and years without ever bothering to get a drivers licence. All fine and dandy until one day, while lighting up a smoke, they careen into the back of your car. Wasn't us, but someone we knew. Made for a heck of a story since, as "Gringos" the idea of driving a car with no license was like being offered a ride into space. How could such a thing even be possible?<br />His luck was that it was a bought and paid for company vehicle, since the person who ran into him had absolutely no insurance. How could they? So what do you do? A lawsuit would yield nothing, so there's absolutely no recourse.<br /> I don't even know if the person got a fine. Maybe it's being naive, but somehow I feel a little more comfortable with the knowledge that there are a few rules being followed. You don't get those rules without some bureaucrat somewhere having to enforce or otherwise conjure up some sort of "crap".<br />But ya, a little less wouldn't hurt.<br />Just my two cents.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589339935152891167.post-84713798298130864262011-06-14T17:51:51.033-07:002011-06-14T17:51:51.033-07:00I think we could be pretty happy in Puerto Rico. ...I think we could be pretty happy in Puerto Rico. Looks like you had yourself a nice little spot there. We aren't too thrilled with Canada at the moment, the weather really sucks as you know and so does all the government crap, but I guess every country has that problem.<br /><br />Kevin and Ruth<br /><a href="http://www.travelwithkevinandruth.com" rel="nofollow">www.travelwithkevinandruth.com</a>Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.com
