You're absolutely
right...!!
I did some mapping there a few years back and I gotta
tell ya,
I'd hate to be a Hook on that job...!!!
I was living in
Ricon and working in Mayaguez. Both on the
southwestern or
western part of the island, if I'm not mistaken.
Evidently, there's
no such thing as Power specs. And OSHA...??
They've
never heard of it. The climbing conditions are horrendous
in some
places.
Power hangin' all over the place and I'd be willing to bet that a
big
healthy Hook could easily bring some of those skinny, little
poles down by weight alone.
Hell, some of 'em look like
they're gonna drop any second...!!!
On the other hand,
if ya don't mind the challenges, the scenery is fantastic
and the people are
as nice as can be. If the ocean is your bag, then you'll
be in
Heaven....Although, it can get hotter than hell..!
And the
women.... Fugeddaboutit...!!! Hell, even the old
Broads
looked good...!!!
The bars are a trip in some places.
Some of the smaller
and older ones back in the woods are but several
4x4's
with a metal roof and a cooler full of Beer.
Not exactly a huge
structure... Completely "open air".
I loved
'em...!!!
All in all, I had a
good time there. There were some
problems with the Prime, but other
than that, it was a good time.
Oh, and brush up on
your Spanish.... It's the language of choice
down there. You can get by
with English, ( kinda ) but ya know how
ya get pissed when someone
comes here to America and expects you
to know whatever
language they're speaking....?? Well, the same
applies in
reverse......
Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know...Puerto Rico is part of
America.
You know what I mean.........
It's only
right.
If ya end up goin',
go with an open mind and you'll have a ball...!!!
Later,
(-REDACTED-) ">SD
