Donât forget the penny. I worked at a winery (think grapes, bees, and lots of flies). We had water bags with pennies near all the doors and windows during the summer. Worked great.
LOL. havenât seen that name in a few monthsâŚ
Its kinda crazy, my favorite food joints, Billy the Griller, Diegoâs Tacos, wouldnât pass an inspection here, both are totally open air, 24x7. Then the street side vendors who have had that spot for the past 20 years, some of the best pork and chorizo synchronizadas. Even in honduras, my favorite little pastelito shop would have a few on display street side, and youâd walk down an alley way to pay⌠Iâd always ask pork, beef or chicken, and whatever was in the case was the one I didnt order so they would have to make em fresh. Only take a few minutes as ya know, but lord knows how long the ones in the case had been there lol.
If I really worried about health certificates instead of using common sense, I would have starved in mexico and central america⌠But I ate enough dirt as a child I guessâŚ
In mexico, it was coffee, glass bottles of coke with real sugar, water from the 5g jug at home or martinis when we got to be fancy and go to the fancy joint for dinner⌠In honduras I lived on coffee in the morning, ice tea > progressing to hard iced teas thru the day⌠LOL Even those were made with bottled water, tap water was brackish and undrinkable anywayâŚ

Noted. 
The first ten seasons are next level comedy writing.
My buddyâs dad has a ziploc with water and a few pennies nailed to the back of his house and swears it keeps away flies and mosquitos.
Would I be an iiiiiiidiote to watch this show?
That seals it. Iâm making coppery bag water today and putting it out back.
Whatâs with this âyou need to wait a few seconds between posts in this topicâ thing? Arenât we doing exactly as asked and chatting in here?

no. the first 10 seasons are actually written because, possibly doc brown or marty mcfly, came back in time and left an almanac. The amount of things they JOKED about that ended up coming true because we thought it would never happen, is actually kinda scaryâŚ

I saw a churro guy mixing 5 gallons of batter with his forearm.
might have to add a penny. no pennies in mexico, but they have lots of coins, still none in the bags there or hereâŚ
Do the pennies add mosquito protection? lolâŚ

Morning, afternoon, itâs all the same today. Good 2pm!
I donât doubt it! We had a regular churro guy on a bike⌠Old dude, I forget his name now, but he would start at the Malecon, working his way back into the island. more tourists on the malecon, locals live inland. I lived on 65th ave which is, well, like 15 blocks from the malecon, so if he made it back to my street, I would buy whatever he had left by then⌠They were delicious⌠Eventually he started knocking on the courtyard door if he made it back there (not every day would he make it that far, once sold out he went home). I miss hearing that guy call out âChurros!â over the courtyard walls⌠And damn, the frresh bakery two doors down⌠Iâm getting hungry nowâŚ

There was a tienda where I would go to buy beer in Guatemala who had a veryâŚeclecticâŚselection of stuff.
He had frozen hot dogs for sale and I asked him in broken Spanish to cook them for me for lunch the next day. Puedo cocinar para nosotros manana? (My Spanish is poor.)
He did. Nice guy. I had many conversations with him. Good language practice for both of us. It was the biggest business in town. I spent many hours on the porch and had his mother laugh at the silly gringo.
I remember the ice cream man had someone riding shotgun with a shotgun. Itâs a different world.

This reminds me of âGhost Dog: Way of the Samuraiâ.
Hang them in the window.
The light refracting through the rounded bag causes a visual disturbance they avoid.
It works, wife says itâs an old trick from back home in St. Lucia.
LOL.
Thatâs because our cows are blue too!

@toastyjakes I meant this thread where weâre supposed to chat instead of the FSFC thread. I saw your response but didnât want to reply to it in that thread considering the context 
Iâm confused why this thread that is meant to keep the chat out of the other is also timed. I understand why it was done in the FSFC one.

I understood what you meant buddy, I was in the process of asking the same question with my one post in FSFC but then suddenly I couldnât edit it anymore. Oh well.
I guess we all need to take the hintâŚ

He responded to me in there but I wasnât clear if he thought I meant that thread or this from his response. Agree or disagree with what theyâre doing with that thread they donât want chat in it. So then why nerf the thread thatâs meant to alleviate it? It feels like the township stepping in and saying no more through traffic on this road anymore, and then deliberately putting potholes in the detour route they sent you down
