    Bad place to be a cop...hugs, not bullets!

    We much prefer Republicans in power, but we don't see how Trump, the reality TV star and his big mouth, can avoid financial devastation and some prison time in the next 13 months. His previous friends, lawyers, etc, can jump ship and go state's, but what about his kids...Ivanka, Eric and Don Jr...

    Norma is coming over

    Damage is estimated at USD 15 billion. The feds have no means to provide aid anywhere close to that, and insurance companies can't stretch that far. How this pans out is anyone's guess.

    Gas Prices

    As we all expect, gas pumps in Mx are a bit slower than stateside. We now have proof: yesterday while trying to get a fill in an older Ford, we had to leave it running due to a questionable battery. Couldn't get it full.

    Why are we in the Middle East?

    The reason used to be oil supply. That's no longer a major issue. Why is the US taking sides in the ME? What if we withdrew everything and everyone, and let them settle their own differences? I expect Arabic hatred of US would end within 6 months of our telling Israel we are no longer their...

    Big Totoaba bladder seizure

    I hope they replace each fish bladder with a bladder from a Mexican criminal fisherass. Send that on to China. They won't know the difference until those using it in place of viagra start muttering in Spanish.

    Rosie Glover

    Confirm directly with the insurance company your money was actually sent in, and you have a policy. Never pay cash to some agencies. Ensure your check is payable to the insurer, and not the agent. Some years ago we paid with paper US cash in October, and when we returned to the office in...

    Rosie Glover

    What ever became of her? She, and her business and financial integrity, were the topic de jour 10 years ago on this blog. I'm told she posted here "Rosie Glover" was not her real name out of Texas. If she's still in business, sure hope she is playing by the rules.

    Looking for any info for boat fishing.

    Mike, the owner of Latitude 31, should be a good place to start.

    Is Mannys doing well, or in death spiral?

    A moderate crowd Friday, a great crowd Saturday and a very moderate crowd on Sundays of a long weekend does not a good business make. Their midweek business has been weak this summer compared to previously. We have experience in the food and wine business, but I'd like to hear an opinion from...

    Is Mannys doing well, or in death spiral?

    We hope Mannys prospers, and carries on. It killed itself after 2008 by dramatically raising drink prices to make up for decreased revenue. Now I hear they've done it again, with basic mixed drinks like margaritas and Bloody Marys up to USD 10.00. All made with bottom shelf Mxcn booze. Is...

    Banking

    Last time we had a Mxcn bank account in USD, it earned interest that was credited to the account on the last day of each month. The same day as the credit was posted, the Fed IRS taxed and debited the interest. We decided doing business with a bank that's so completely in bed with the Feds was...

    Beach Erosion Control

    The last people to consult are the City contractors/engineers who designed the walkway near Mannys. Everyone with any experience with the wave surge and tide action from Whale Hill to Playa Encato knew the City's expenditure of millions of pesos was wasting money, and the structure lasted less...

    More bodies on the beach

    Both bodies washed up in locations where many tourists took photos and disseminated them well before the police showed up, so the official media had to publish to stay in the news game.

    More bodies on the beach

    2 males washed up this week...one in front of Playa d'Oro Rv park and another onto the rocks west of Mannies.

    US LLC to buy condo??

    As for taxes on rental income, if you use the rental pool the LLC, or you personally ( no difference) will pay MX tax on the income, less expenses. This is the same as in USA and CA. All funds must be deposited to your Mx bank account, and taxes calculated and paid monthly by your accountant...

    US LLC to buy condo??

    Keep in mind: using a LLC still requires a trust. The LLC is a legal "person" which can own property through a trust. Traditionally, the benefit of having a LLC as the trustor was that the LLC could transfer ownership to the next owner by simply transferring it's shares to the buyer. This...
