Subject:Re: Gasoline In Mexico (and Diesel?)
From:Kevin and Heather
Date:Thu, 13 Jan 2000 07:45:45 -0700

I spent almost a year in central America with my wife and 82 diesel
westi. Plenty of diesel everywhere, its much cheaper than gas, and
the quality is generally pretty good, although I did change my fuel
filter every 2 months and once found wood chips floating in it...

Where have the years gone? Why, into the usual vices of the romantic
idealist: into sloth amd melancholy, each feeding upon and
reinforcing the other, into love and marriage and the begetting of
children, into the strenuous maneuvers of earning a living without
living to earn, into travel and play and music and drink and talk and
laughter, into saving the world - but saving the world was only a
hobby. Into watching cloud formations float across our planetary
skies. But mostly into sloth and melancholy and I don't regret a
moment of it.
