Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for December 17, 2009

It’s good to have dreams Baldo. While yours may not be as ambitious as Gracie’s, it will make you just as happy. Myself, I’d take a ‘70 Chevelle, hard top.

Dream on Baldo, and meanwhile, keep working hard at that job.

The low rider gets a little higher.

Too bad it won’t be your body, Baldo.

Say, I know I’m risking disrupting my current state of contentment because we haven’t seen coworker/supervisor/slacker idiot Joey in months (did I mention that I’m really happy about that?) - but we also haven’t seen Balso’s beautiful lady coworker at Auto y Rod.

Come to think of it… We’ve spent months watching Dad’s health worries, Dad’s money worries, Auntie’s eccentricities, little sister’s intelligence, and… Baldo mostly acting like a juvenille moron through it all. Well, maybe not “mostly”, but “too much of the time”, anyway.

Baldo at work is where we see him at his best - maturing, sensitive, intelligent, principled - while still being entertaining.

What’s up, Hector and Carlos?

You should’ve seen me tooling around in my Midnight Blue 1951 Buick … straight eight engine … portholes …

i’d be happy with any car that ran well and got me around places

oh yeah and paid for

My cousin Steve’s burgundy ‘65 Pontiac Catalina 4 door hardtop was a great car from my past. But I have to say my ‘09 Scion Xb is a much better car. Actually more of a car appliance.

No es el punto, Baldo hijo. [suspiro]

Dream on, Baldo!

Joe_Allen “Joe” Doty I read your comment yesterday. I think that was a very thoughtful gift you gave your friend. Great expense is not really necessary.
