aha,

no va  - va is go applied to a single  person she goes = ella va so no 
va would be she does not go.

vaya con dios - go with god....

spanish verb for go is ir but it has strange forms -

in the present tense it is voy,vas,va,vamos,van

for I go , you go, she he goes (va) they go (vamos),

cowboy slag - "vamoose" must be from the spanish vamos they go


future uses ire, iras, ira, etc.

strange how much of my spanish from highschool i sort of remember 
considering how poorly I did in language classes.

thanks for the joke - I had forgotten it
