“The Great God Jock” is a “somewhat fictional” picaresque novel written by Chapala resident Don Beaudreau, who is a “half-Appalachian” gay minister, according to the book’s brief preface.

Videos and photographs showing Mexican children as young as eight years old being armed as vigilantes to fight criminal gangs have shocked the nation and been disseminated around the world.   

The subtle complexities and socio-salubrious ramifications of the Mexican kiss would never have occurred to me without the help of 12 Japanese girls who had been sent, some years ago, by their university, to spend a month in Guadalajara practicing their English.

Karl Bushby isn’t a weekend warrior, but the real thing. Still a young man after a 21-year career as a British paratrooper trained to survive on foot behind enemy lines, and apparently realizing that few careers drew on his experience, he set off to create one that did.

In my favorite story by the science-fiction writer Ray Bradbury, a group of aliens looking for intelligent life orbits the Earth a few times and listens to the radio frequencies.

Karl Bushby has spent 21 years walking around the world. An ex-paratrooper from the United Kingdom, walking adventurer and author, he is still attempting to be the first person to completely walk an unbroken path around the world.
