Fuzz Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 The original vid was from an interview on Ratones Coloraos back in 2000. That guy (Juan Joya Borja) was decribing a time when he worked as a kitchen porter. He had set some paella pans out to soak in the ocean, and in the morning when he went to get them, they had washed away with the tide. Unfortunately, he passed away earlier this year.

Until I left texas back in the early 90s I reckoned half of Australia was visiting or living in texas. Australians everywhere. My pals and I figured that there must be similarities in environment, though naturally we thought everyone should live here. Heck, when I moved back two of my neighbors proudly had their Australian flags out front day and night, as if to confirm my youthful theory.
