Hola Amigas & Amigos,

My Mother & Dad RIP would have been married 56 years ago today 8/1/59; Dad died much too young, at age 43! He always worked hard, had to quit school in the 8th grade to work in the orchards, helping support his family. My mother too, had to end her schooling at the end of the 8th grade to help raise her younger brothers and sisters while her Mother and Dad worked in the fields and away from home. They both wanted better lives for all five of us boys and provided for us in the best ways they could and wanted us all to at least be able to graduate from High School. At end of Blog are a couple of photos, (1) Tommie and Nina Austin on their wedding  day;  (2) my Parents with me in 1961 and it looks as if Dad is wearing the same shirt that he was married in (his best one at the time); now, much more faded. Kids these days wouldn't be caught in the same shirt 2 years later! Mom is pregnant with little Brother David Austin!

To Quote Archie Bunker - "Those were the Days!" Love You Both & Everyone Else out there in this Big World that Rotates! A lesson taught me by my parents, to love all, which included praying for your enemies, hoping that they no longer hate and berate!

Now, for some not so pleasant news; but, it has to be written, recorded and read. Subway’s Jared Fogle will plead guilty to having sex with minors.

These are some of the things Jared Fogle might say 2 the kiddies while babysitting & filming, "Oh, look how sexy I am holding my 6 inch salami sandwich with jalapenos covered all over it!"

I'm somewhat confused here; Why does Ex-Ravens cheerleader Molly Shattuck get to spend sentencing of every other weekend in a Delaware work-release detention center for nearly two years, for having raped a 15-year-old boy in Bethany Beach last summer get a much easier sentence than a man who has consensual sex with a 16 or 17 year old girl and gets 5 years in the slammer? In most cases a girl is more mentally and physically older than her male counterpart. Both cases are inexcusable; but, why the light sentence?  This former cheerleader, Molly Shattuck has to only be incarcerated 2 days out of every 14 days over a total of 1/7 of a year for nearly 2 years. Very disturbing, total BS. The correct sentence would have been to put Molly and Ravens Linebacker Ray Lewis and Subway’s Jared Fogle in the same cell for 6 years to share a 12” each and every day!

Ben Affleck's late-night meet-up with his ex-nanny, Christine Ouzounian.
Both Ben and Christine smile big in this photo taken (end of blog) at a rental house, where Ben was staying at the time. The 42-year-old actor is seen coming out of the house to greet 28-year-old Christine, who was driving his car. According to an eyewitness, she was also seen driving Ben's Lexus earlier in the day to run errands, and spent about two hours at the house before leaving.

Looks as if Amigo Ben Afleck is playing his character in Gone Girl without the big screen; however he is still being filmed! Movies can B Real! TMZ will be all over this!

Finally, I have my own Jet to fly me to Cabo San Lucas for the Caboholics Support Group Annual Fiesta in February! I have traded my ASS for a JET & I'll be bringing lots of MEXICO got LUCKY books for everyone as the CABOHOLICS are in the book with OUR Pictures! This is not an Advertisement, it is an important Announcement and a way to show off my new Wings! Vayan Con Dios!

Amigas & Amigos, great SUNDAY, that's MY FUNDAY with AZ Amigos Doug Bondon, Mark Huebner & golf of the day winner Mr. Michael J. Passante! Thank YOU Amiga Carol for a Great Day at Mirabel Country Club in North Scottsdale! We're all Blessed to be living the Arizona Dream! We are loving 12 of 12 great months of fabulous weather!

Happy Birthday to my Amigo & Kid Brother - David Austin!  I love YOU Man!

In my fenced backyard, out in the desert countryside at MY BAD TEQUILA pool, I like to go topless. Tonight I was cleaning my pool while TOPLESS & a Drone comes buzzing around my pool while some sicko gets off at watching me clean / scrub the tile of my pool. Anyway, the drone gets too close, lands in my hair, I hear a loud bzz right before I feel it land, immediately, I shriek & drop down into the pool, expecting the drone disguised as a black looking, bumble bee sort of insect that is dark green to be gone, out of my hair, I reach up and it is still there, so underwater again I go, this time taking my gloved hand (yes, luckily I was wearing gloves while scrubbing the pool with hard pumice as it is rough on the hands, for the past two evenings, I've done it without gloves and my poor little fingers were skinned up and anyway, back to the story) and I dig that little monster drone out and hold him under the water while it tries to shock or bite me with its little drone claws and teeth. Finally, the drone is no more & I look into its eyes to the creep that has been spying on me and immediately another comes into the backyard, this time the wife sees it and it attacks her, she gets safely in the house and the drone leaves. I hope the Drone Owner is reading this as I promise that I will take the second drone and the third drone and any others after that, DOWN! This story might go into My Bad Tequila II, the next bottle! Be Careful out there, lots of weirdos!

While making my rounds and a quick stop in  Seal Beach, got to  meet up with Amiga Krista Talley & her hubby, Amigo Matt for a couple of drinks at Patty's Place.  Always great to see this young newlywed couple.

Parrot Grande 2015 was a Trop Rock Success with performing artists Mark Mulligan, Sam Rainwater, Bob Karwin, Desert Island Band and Jimmy & the Parrots!  Special appearance by the Dancing Flamingos, I was able to get a photo with 2 of the 3 ladies dressed in pink as the 3rd was in her room taking a much needed and deserved nap from the extravaganza of an incredible fiesta, Jimmy Buffett style. Lots of great music, beach balls bouncing at the pool, silent auction made this a Great Event! There was even a game called "BRAS" - it's a little known game where you toss balls and try to get them in  the cup.  I liked this game brought to us by Karen and Adam Lyons (part of Milton Bradley).  It was a phabulous weekend, so much phun with phriends at Parrot Grande! Thanks to All for their hard work and dedication with a Special Thank YOU to our Presidente - Kathy Pfister

As soon as the fun ended on Sunday morning at the  Hilton Tapitio Cliffs resort at Parrot Grande, I went by and picked up my main squeeze Connie and we headed out to T.C. Thortensen's Buffalo Ranch to help celebrate #59.  I asked T.C. how it looked on the other side as I poured us both a shot of Azunia Tequila.  Was able to see lots of great friends from Cave Creek, Scottsdale, Carefree, New River & Phoenix while there.  Amigo Chris Anton even gave me his straw cowboy hat as a gift and it wasn't even my day of birth.  To see how cowboys & cowgirls behave at a pool party, you'll find out by some photos at the end of the blog.   To quote John Wayne: "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do."

At 5:11 pm after going into full detail about my day, my wife turns to me and says, "Rico, You live in a Fantasy World, You have really got to quit making up these stories."
