Wasn't that a party...

I sure wanted a bottle of any strong liquor... Absinth would do
fine... Would match the madness.

lol! I forgot on my RR to add this little part.

When I split from the guys and started looking for Gabriel at the
beach party, I was stopped by an armed military policeman (they were
patrolling the area by foot, jeep and horses). Talking very fast, he
said he arrested a guy who was armed (big no no here) and the patrol
car was full and he had to get back to base walking, but instead, I'd
have to carry him... In Brasil, law says that any policeman, military
or not, are authorized to request vehicles from any citizen at any
time, to ride wherever the policeman requests, given he will use that
vehicle to accomplish a job he is doing and I am forced by law to
carry him wherever he wants, as long it doesn't caracterize abuse of
power and he on duty...

My friends saw me from far and thought I was being arrested... Was
funny though, riding with a (helmetless) military in full military
clothing (and guns) in the middle of the huge crowd... LOL! This ride
could *not* get more insane!

ps. It took me only a short while to figure out that
all this mayhem was happening in Brazil. Seems y'all
sure know how to have a good time. I have two small
parrots from your Mato Grosso area -- green cheeked
conures (Pyrrhura Molinae)http://www.mylittledarlings.com/greencheekedconures.html

I had an one legged parrot once, bought it cheap because the animal
smugglers were going to kill the poor thing because it was one legged
and sick, almost featherless. I took him home, fed him, cared him, it
grew feathers but never gained weight... They really need 2 feet to
survive. Less than one year after I bought him, he died...

Not sure how you acquired your birds, there are chances that you
bought a smuggled bird... It is strictly forbidden to export birds,
only a very very few can do it legally... And these legal birds are
really really really expensive, more than a dirbike costs... And even
then, I am not sure that there legal breeders still in business... I
don't think the environment gov't institute is issuing permits
anymore...

Have you taught them to speak? Mine used to bark exactly like my old
pitbull dog... :-)
