Really? Antivaxxer conspiracy theories? And if I got my 7th booster and still didn’t die, what would that tell you about safety? I think what happened to this forum is that it became the bathroom wall of last resort for a half dozen people who got banned or fact-checked everyplace else. To...

Don’t forget the Volvo plant in South Carolina.

You may want run that past a lawyer, and anyone with a business in town has all kinds of ways to profit by ingratiating themselves with the local government. You’re also wrong about Volvos. Two models sold in the US are made in their South Carolina plant, which is expanding. You rarely...

Fraud is when you deprive someone of their property or wealth through dishonest means. Whether you do this to profit or merely to injure another party is irrelevant. We have given a lot of money to and and done significant volunteer work for Barb’s. I have a dog we adopted from Barb‘s on my...

This is emphatically not true. Retired physical scientist here.

Everybody with a connection to either Puerto Peñasco or Phoenix should read this. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/10/climate/arizona-desalination-water-climate.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare Arizona, Low on Water, Weighs Taking It From the Sea. In Mexico.

We have solar panels and for much of the year generate more than we use. But our bill in never zero. There is always about 40 pesos, for renting the meter or something.

We’ve been riding our Can Am with a SxS group that is very knowledgeable of the local terrain. We ride all around the edge of Puerto Peñasco. Laguna Shores and beyond, back across Benito Juarez by Barb’s Dog Rescue, and on out by the Airport. Much of this land was once ranches. We commonly...

I prefer driving up to San Louis Rio Colorado and going through Yuma.

Yes. And your Mexican Sam’s card may or may not work in the US. Supposedly there is an app you can use.

I crossed at Lukeville two hours ago and had an unusual (very good) experience. Line was maybe 15 minutes long. As I crept up to the overhang, a female Mexican officer in uniform, standing 30 meters north of the border waved me over. She asked if I had narcotics, over $10,000 in cash or a...

We’ve driven from Puerto Peñasco to the Valle de Guadalupe wine region and sometimes on to Ensenada. Tecate is on the way. Most roads in Baja seem to be better than what we have in Sonora.

We’ve got a lot of Sam’s Mexico stuff plus a little from a previous residence in the California desert. It’s fine.

It was bad in Islas Del Mar too, but I don’t have precise numbers. At about 2:30 yesterday afternoon I was out in Cholla Bay in a Hobie pedal kayak when the wind ticked up from below my limit to about my limit. No trouble getting back in, but it wasn’t my favorite.

40 to 50 military and National Guard were deployed along the access routes to Sandy Beach as the dignitaries met yesterday afternoon.

The LA Times went to a lot of Mexican mom and pop pharmacies in tourist areas and bought pain pills and aderal. Test strips showed that most were fentanyl or meth. This will be a big story. A UCLA study is getting similar results...

Ducey hid the report that concluded that water supplies were insufficient for the massive housing projects proposed for west of Phoenix. Presumably this multibillion dollar desalination scheme was going to be used to ignore the findings. The Israeli company was planting stories that it was...

This was a recreational diver in 2020 to the best of my recollection. But we don’t have journalism or even social media of the same standard as in the US, so who knows. I probably saw it on Rocky Point 360.

About 3 years ago a scuba diver jumped off a boat at bird rock and immediately lost a leg and bled out.

A great white shark decapitated a diver off the coast of Mexico in front of surprised fishermen. In the first deadly shark attack of 2023, Manuel López was scuba diving off San José beach in Tobari Bay on the west coast of Mexico when the shark attacked him on January 5. López, a man in his...
