DryHeat and Jim McG,

I hope you are doing well. I tried to send you a private message to follow up on our discussion here, but the website would not allow it. I’d like to talk to you when you have a chance about some things I would rather not discuss on the public forum, including an alternative prospect for some of the Las Palomas buyers (whose circumstances differ from others in certain critical respects) we believe have a strong case against a defendant in Arizona with substantial assets and insurance coverage that is not one of the people DryHeat is referring to.

I would be glad to discuss this with you, in case this would be of interest to you or other Las Palomas buyers. I’d also be interested in learning what you know that might be relevant to our clients. Feel free to call me (520-798-5233) or email me ([email protected]) and we can arrange a time to speak by phone or meet in person. If you would like any more information about me or my firm, you can visit our website at www.markravenlaw.com. In case you are interested, the News Articles section of our site includes a recent article we wrote in the Arizona Journal of International Legal Practice regarding dangers of not having title or a bank trust for Mexican real estate, which is especially relevant for buyers in financially troubled developments. I look forward to speaking with you at your convenience.

Regards,
Chris

That reminds me Jerry, I finally finished "Insurgent Mexico" by John Reed, What a great book. I savored it, and was portioning it out like it was a rare find; it is.

Thank you so much for lending it to me.

I'm reading a book right now called "God's Middle Finger: Into the Lawless Heart of the Sierra Madre" By Richard Grant. It really does seem like its a lost cause as the drug cartels take over town by town and how ruthless they are just for the hell of it. They don't have to have a reason to kill you, they just do because its "fun"

“I never want to set foot in the Sierra Madre again,” he writes. “I was out of courage, out of patience, out of compassion.” It was an arduous trip for Grant, but readers will be glad that he took it. --George Cohen

After crossing the Sierra Madres, with my family, driving through the night due to unforseen delays, I felt very much the same way.

JimMcG;25450 After crossing the Sierra Madres said:
I crossed a few years ago, in a rented Neon with a girlfriend from Torreon. The last Pemex, probably at El Salto, (but I did not know it was the last one at the time) had a couple of pickups with a bunch of young guys hanging around the pumps, so I thought I'd hit the next one, whcih turned out to be in Matzatlan. After dark we got into a long convoy of logging trucks jake braking down the mountain, blap blap blap blap balp. They drive after dark because they cannot make the switchbacks and stay in lane. After dark they watch for oncoming headlights at the curves. When the road was clear ahead they would turn on their turn signals for me to pass. I could not see around them. At first I did not trust the system, but after some screaming from the novia, I'd just hook it out into the oncoming lane and jput my foot to the floor when the signal went on. A real brown pants experience. The road there is like the bloddy ALps, straight up one side of the road and straight down on the other. What with the trucks and worry about running out of fuel, it was a memorable trip to say the least. Managed to buy 10 liters from a local and used Jewish overdrive most of the way down the mountains to Matzatlan. Trip back was uneventful !! I guess I'd go back.

"Insurgents Mexico", the book I was reffering to is a gem, and a true story..Here's the review.

"John Reed was an American journalist who had been born into a life of luxury and ease but joined the socialist movement in the period right before World War I. A graduate of Harvard, he moved to New York where he became part of a circle of free-thinkers. He was very interested and involved in various workers' movements.

In 1913, he headed south with his lover the wealthy heiress and patroness of the arts Mabel Dodge to have a look at the Mexican Revoltuion. By that time, Mexico had been in upheaval for three years. In 1910, Francisco Madero, a wealthy landowner, had seized control of the government, overthrowing General Porfirio Diaz. When Madero failed to live up to his promises of land reform, he was in challenged by the peasant leader Emiliano Zapata. That revolution attempt would fail, but a group of rightist generals succeeded in assassinating Madero and replacing him with the American-backed restore the old dictatorship. With the help of the supposedly loyal General Huerta. Huerta was challenged, however, by Pancho Villa.

For four months, Reed would follow Villa on his march south from Texas through Chihuahua and south towards Torreon. Traveling not on an opulent train, but in the company of peons, Reed got to know firsthand the people who would support Villa in his ultimate overthrow of the Mexican government. This book tells in a very colorful fashion the story of those four months.

Reed would leave Mexico before Villa's job was finished. After a short time in the United States, he'd head for Europe, where he gained fame as a witness to the Russian Revolution. His most famous book would be Ten Days That Shook the World. The movie Reds, which starred Warren Beatty, would be about Reed and that portion of his life. "

God and Mr. Gomez reminds me of our experience building a house in Mexico w/ the Ejidos. A little corny, but almost everything that happened in the book happened to us or someone we know.
