Burgers and margaritas at Collins with Monday happy hour pricing is a must. Possibly the best burgers in town and the price is right.

This policy is of course stupid, but for reasons including some that have never occurred to them. My wife and I have been inoculated as part of the clinical trial for the Pfizer COVID vaccine. So have about 15,000 other people so far, and then there is the Moderna vaccine trial. Half of...

Obviously it’s a vaccination trial, not a vacation trial.

I’m participating in a clinical trial of the Pfizer vaccine. It is a messenger RNA that encodes production of the spike protein, which your body then produces antibodies against. You are not exposed to actual virus or the complete viral genome. I have my second and final shot in three...

I’ve got a science background but there is little to say about the rationale for the screening, which changes all of the time and is often not enforced in any event. Entry in PP is entirely random as is the return through Lukeville. Sometimes I get chewed out because “the border is in a...

I entered town from the direction of San Louis RC at 4:30 PM yesterday. The block is still in effect in front of Islas Del Mar. I drove over by the overpass and became third in line in a single lane passing under a tent. All vehicles were being waved through without having to stop. I don’t...

We’re thinking of getting a pair of fishing kayaks for use in Cholla Bay and in the SoCal lakes near our summer home. Ideally I’d like to trailer them back and forth a couple times a year, and they would probably spend equal time on either side. What problems am I going to have with this...

I’m very likely to purchase a Hobie fishing kayak. I was test driving several in Dana Point harbor earlier this week. I grew up fresh water fishing and occasionally did deep sea fishing later, but it’s been decades since I’ve owned any fishing gear. I’d appreciate recommendations for a...

I returned to the US this morning via Lukeville. The usual Sonyota speed traps plus a new one over a click before the 40 kph zone. Don’t know what the speed limit is there, but I was below it. At the border CBP guy tried to blow smoke up my ass about it being a level 5 border closure and if...

I re entered town earlier this PM. I came in through San Louis, south of Yuma. Got a green light at the border. Fast drive down to Puerto Peñasco. At the sanItaly filter I got into the Residents line. The other choice was Tourist. Within 5 minutes I presented my Resident card and CFE...

Some people in Sonyota have been putting a vehicle barrier to prevent travel south. When a lot of Americans start being turned back, Lukeville closes to save people a round trip. Travel north is apparently unobstructed.

I’ve just added another to my ignore list. Pretty soon I will get mostly Rocky Point news when I come to this forum! on the subject of Rocky Point, the protests in Sonyota are continuing to obstruct travel from Lukeville. I’m planning to come down next weekend and will enter through San Louis.

I was in Rocky Point from January to the end of June, and I’ll be back every several weeks through the summer. The chaos and rudeness on this forum and most of the Facebook pages is in no way reflected by the kindness of the actual expats you meet in Rocky Point. Maybe there are some rough...

Yes. There are a couple of spamming trolls who unspool their chaff here for all to wonder at without demonstrating any knowledge or appreciation of Rocky Point. I have just engaged the ignore button on one of them.

I’m looking at more substantial Hobie fishing kayaks. Maybe have one by this winter.

I’m in Southern California right now, and it‘s quite bad up here. My wife is going into LA for a Drs appointment at a major medical center. She’s scheduled to get an antibody test which we expect to be negative. I‘ll see what she learns visiting one of the largest medical centers in the state.

Well, to be perfectly fair, the average of several recent, highly authoritative polls do show a neck and neck race in Texas.

El Buzo for one. Maybe La Curva. I drive by the Mew Mexican a lot, but have never stopped. I hasn’t been open since the shutdown as of last week.

A year ago it seemed like Tecate was the only beer I could find in town, but now I can find Pacifico in most places I frequent. To be fair, I don’t always drink beer....

Cholla Bay Oyster House is really good. I haven’t been there since the lockdown started, and then by June I’m reluctant to eat oysters until Fall. I’ve got a pretty good view of the place with my binoculars from across the way.
