Subject: Tour de Aqua Calientes
Just getting back from our 15 year-old’s birthday lunch my trip to Aqua Calientes which I understand is going thru a name change, Village Machu Picchu, ending on quite the note.
Nothing like traveling back in time in a stand alone diesel polluting locomotive with the most incredible 360 degree perspective of the world?
My world traveled dog, Pypeetoe, causing apparently some Japanese travelers “tu” [sic] object, resulting in the 2 of us first being planted in the front of the train be4 being dumped in to this one of kind hybrid, locomotive-coach, riding “shotgun” ahead of the rest checking for saboteurs?
Making the most of the fun fun fun sitting next to a handful of your adventurous “happy go luky” [sic] colleagues who at one point looked like they were going to take down a deer that crossed our path my thinking of distracting them by getting into my number theory, the importance of the number 1421 The Year China Discovered America, 1+4+2+1=8 akin to Pythagoras’ 1+2+3+4=10 before realizing that it made no sense to go on about the difference when multiplying the digits 1421 one ends up with the same result versus the number “42” [sic] since none of them spoke English and the only Spanish words I know r “Perro Gia”?
If only I had thought to tell your associate responsible for throwing me off the train that my dog was “service dog” in the service of God who u would surely agree needs quite a hand in this “Dog eat God” [sic] world?
My partner-wife with all the cash, credit cards and passports had no idea of whether I was going to end up as chopped liver, no doubt the Japanese would have soothed her soul, dosing her with sake if in fact she ended up having to return home alone to then explain to our JoNathan almost 12 years old who has a 1/3rd ownership of Pypeetoe what became of his investment possibly not in the least bit distracted to bother with finding out what became of Pypeetoe’s problem-solver-journalist master, the alcohol probably serving as an added distraction, there being only “probabilities” no “certainties” in Quantum Mechanics the precursor to the Digital Age that keeps each of us in check?
U know of course the game of life like the game of chess is getting your opponent to play to your advantage, Chaos Theory, today very much out the window much like how kids taught accounting understood that credits to the right debits to be found offshore, “audirtors” [sic] to boot?
If only I had my camera with me to include photos in my book Manager Minute One to mention in passing no one taking the shot would have needed to say “cheese” given my mitigation efforts to quench the smell of the diesel as we bumped along at breakneck speed my face so hung out to dry, stretched tight to the point that any “God” [sic] cruising alongside perhaps preparing for the next Iron Dog competition would have taken me for Chinese.
My one point being had Ken Blanchard taken u up on your offer to visit Aqua Calientes what would have been your most optimistic view of such an outcome?
Again to repeat the words of my partner-wife Marie Dion, “When the dialogue becomes tT∞ monologues it is the beginning of the end” [sic].
So please share with me your deepest thoughts and I will reciprocate in kind.
Kind regards,
Gary
