I received my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine yesterday. I had more arm pain than the first injection, beginning about two hours later. About 24 hours after the shot I have no more pain. I’m a participant in the clinical trial. I had the placebo in late summer and then crossed over to the...

And another poster ignored.

For people who are afraid that Covid vaccines were rushed and possibly not safe, the Sputnik V vaccine is their best line of evidence. Russia approved it without conducting a clinical trial. Unbelievable. I probably should look into it, but I’m too tired from looking into something more...

This should create a lot of job opportunities for Deprogrammers who can code in C Minus Minus or NOHTYP.

Diesel fuel prices commonly spike during the winters due to competing demand for heating oil. In the US diesel prices have been up every week for the past 8 weeks. I haven’t seen any regulatory changes that will effect costs.

My Southern California Pfizer study clinic started unblinding my cohort late last week. On Monday I was told I was in the placebo group and was offered a transition to the vaccine group. I scheduled and crossed the border into the US. Yesterday in San Diego I got my first dose of the vaccine...

I built and own a house, not a condo. You should hire an attorney. We used Pablo Davia on Fremont. You will need to set up a bank trust to own the property for you. This function is done by a notario. Pablo is a notario. You will also need to get a temporary or permanent residency card...

There are no Covid restrictions on entering town. I’ve seen several state police and National Guard checkpoints concerned with criminal activity including one at El Golfo on Saturday. Mask discipline by both Gringos and Mexicans around town has been very good. Walking into a restaurant...

Glad you’re going to be OK. I still don’t know whether I got the vaccine or the placebo in the Pfizer trial. They say they will tell us and allow the placebo group to cross over into the vaccine group “by” March 1, whatever that means.

I have had little to no success running software VPNs (multiple products) to stream US TV, including Netflix, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime. Using a Lynksys router that I jailbroke to run Express VPN firmware I was getting all of the above. A couple months ago Amazon started detecting the VPN...

Long in the past I was very proficient with computer stuff, but not so much in the last 20 years. Installing ExpressVPN firmware on a Lynkays router was a bit tricky. It’s probably easy to brick the thing. Why bother if you can just run the software version of the VPN? Essentially all...

I’ve been running Express VPN (both software and a jailbroken Lynksys with firmware) using another provider. Islas Del Mar is in the process of switching to Telmex fiber, and I just signed up for that today. I anticipate no problems.

Thanks. We’ve got some real estate in California that needs to sell and then we’re going to get something to ply with in the dunes.

Most of us in Isla Conchilla have come to see the tides as a feature and not a bug. We like the patterns of streams that form when the tide goes out. Walking out to the water (in appropriate footwear) is a common recreational activity. And the water is always in the lagoons. As long as the...

We’ve been coming and going at will, through Lukeville but also San Luis and even Mexical/Calexico.

Right now your choice is either beachfront or lagoon front. Each has its advantages. Real estate activity declined substantially during Covid but economic necessity (construction) and the pending vaccines in the US (buyers) have brought a big uptick recently. I saw a lot of people looking over...

I’ve been living in Islas Del Mar most of the time for one year, exactly. Took me about 10 months before that to have the house built. No regrets. Maybe 16 single family homes complete in Isla Conchilla. Construction recently started up on a half dozen more. The two currently planned...

So rented a Can Am at the location across the street from the Encantame Towers sales office. Not cheap. $220 an hour, $130 a half hour. He let us have it for 45 min for $130. We immediately blasted through the dunes and pits to competition hill and raced up and down it a few times, changing...

My theory of the case is that by April, when most 50+ year old Americans have been vaccinated, we‘re going to see masses of people looking at real estate. College students won’t be vaccinated by spring break, so hopefully they’ll stay away. By fall, many Mexicans and essentially all...

We are considering buying a two seat mid level Can Am side by side next year. For the moment the plan is to rent one for two or three hours. The one’s I see around are more typically 4 seaters, but that is OK. Anyone have experiences good or bad? Any tips on things to watch out for?
