El Norte

Baja California Birdman is his spiritual name and his pen name. Baja has written this novelette based on his his real life adventures. This would be one hundred percent non-fiction if Baja hadn’t thrown in one Jalapeno pepper to add some spice to his story. For several winter seasons he travelled around Baja California in his camper with his powered paraglider and photography gear.

Baja loves flying over the beautiful shorelines of Baja California. He cherishes the unspoiled land and hates the evil entity he calls progress which is now eating up Baja California and converting it into a cement jungle. He shares his stories while he prepares his flying machine for a flight.

He was once an aerospace engineer. His management wanted him out so they nailed him for stealing time. That gave him an excuse for a much more interesting adventure. He judges the name Human Being as too uppity for humans. He calls them human animals. He thinks they are just intelligent animals and are not divine in any way.

He has invented magical world models to explain the things he sees. His models make life more enjoyable. He analyses everything and never stops thinking. He recognizes that as one of his problems. He has been questioning his recent behavior and come up with a disturbing conclusion.

El Norte is the all powerful wind that blows strong out of the north in the Baja. One time he blew hard and Baja’s paraglider hurled and dragged him across the desert. Baja has had other close calls with el Norte. Baja has created an interesting world model for el Norte the All Powerful Baja Wind God.

Baja had provided a web link to a picture album so the reader can see some of the places. The pictures are arranged in order and follow the story.
