I love desert/low-moisture flowers and plants. I'm always annoyed when I drive through the United States southwest and see golf courses and resorts with the sprinklers going full-blast trying to create green lawns with tulips and mums and other water-intensive plants that were never meant to grow there. Here in the east, Cape Cod is another environment that is wind-swept and salty and not good for green grass and many "showy" plants, and lately towns have been encouraging home owners to grow low-water native plants, with pretty good results.
I am a bookseller with about 20 years experience, having taken up the trade after retiring as a trial lawyer. I deal exclusively in books on Mexico & bullfighting. I am sole proprietor of my shop in Playas de Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. I am also the list owner for The Bibliophile Mailing List, an email discussion list of book dealers, collectors, librarians, & others interested in the book trade.
My unfulfilled ambitions are first, to play violin with such artistry as to make a Spanish Gypsy cry and second, to survive with grace in the arena with a full grown toro bravo.
