You very well might have killed yourself if you'd have had the right tools and Jamie wasn't there! You should thank him if you haven't already. Elliot Smith?!

I would like to add...that many US criminals are looking for a good place to cross from the US to Mexico aswell! So, you really should be giving a heads up for both parties, not just the Mexicans! “If you were a Mexican wanting to cross the border that would be a super easy place to do it, in case anyone out there is interested!”

Collared Peccary is the only wild, native, pig-like animal found in the United States. They are called Javelina because of their razor-sharp tusks, Spanish for javelin or spear. You may smell a peccary before you see it. The prickly pear is ideal food for the Collared Peccary due to its high water content. Collared Peccary have poor eyesight and good hearing. The Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) is the wild ancestor of the domestic pig. It is native in woodlands across much of Central Europe, the Mediterranean Region (including North Africa's Atlas Mountains) and much of Asia as far south as Indonesia The same Suidae biological family as the Warthog and Bushpig of Africa, the Pygmy Hog of northern India, Babirusa of Indonesia and others. It is more distantly related to the peccary or javelina found in the southwestern area of North America and throughout Central and South America. The little beggars seem to be everywhere! Wild boars can reach up to 440 lb (200 kg), occasionally even 660 lb (300 kg) for adult males, and can be up to 6 feet (1.8 m) long. Sounds like dinner. The wild boar became extinct in Great Britain in the 17th century Maybe you want to ride your bikes in Great Britain? In New Zealand for example, wild pigs are known as "Captain Cookers" from their supposed descent from liberations and gifts to Māori by explorer Captain James Cook in the 1770s. I think you should cook one up in New Zealand! Thank you for all the postcards. (Thank you) (Keep sending them) We enjoy the pictures you post.
