Dead Horse  Sorry if this has been covered ad nauseam.  Dead Horse 

I'm driving down from Abq., crossing at Sta. Teresa. I have a hotel picked out on the periferico of Chihuahua for my first night and am looking at the highway choices north of Guadalajara. Google has me going in a westerly direction at Fresnillo and in on Highway 23. Then there is 54D out of Zacatecas OR 45D out of Zacatecas through Aguas Calientes and Lagos.

This is not the time for me to be ambling around leisurely-like. I got places to be and stuff to do. Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

And PS-anybody need anything from NOB, I'm happy to haul it down.

Thanks,
R

1. goober

basically a goober is just a kindhearted, rather oblivious goofball. it's term of endearment really. it comes from the ancient scottish verb "to goub", which has to do with doing a dance and smiling sheepishly while doing so, exposing the goubs in one's teeth.

"That Peter is such a goober," said Jane as Peter vector-danced* his Junior Prom away.

*footnote: the vector dance involves angling one's arms to form angles and vectors and pumping them back and forth to music. basically, it's geeky as hell. but completely sexy.

Not according to Merriam-Webster,
goober= a naive,ignorant,foolish person..or a peanut..
But it's still one of the more endearing terms you've been called on this forum..

Goober Pyle was the mechanic in Mayberry on the Andy Griffith show. I think he was Gomers cousin.

Except the Mayberry Goober, unlike Chapala Goober, could probably keep even a BSA running.

Arbon, you did not go down far enough in the list of various meanings for goober. You missed this one:
“A person who is a combination of a loser, idiot, klutz, bigot, naïve, arrogant, oblivious and generally lacking insight to the world, very opinionated but is never perceived as a smart or charismatic.
This person will often find him/her self in awkward situations, often without realizing it. Someone who will say inappropriate things at the wrong time and thinks its all cool.”

Only Rubia knows how the word was meant in this case.
