    Trip Report Oct 16th.

    Is Pane Vino the one that moved up on Whale Hill next to Casa De Capitan a few years ago? I also get confused because the place was called "Fish" at first (I think) but then changed again... Fish was what they called their downstairs restaurant. They had a small but decent seafood menu. Last...

    Feel free to message me. I’m not a realtor or builder, nor do I play one on television.

    Buying a house in Las Conchas

    i built in Islas Del Mar after touring 20 properties in Cholla, 10 in Las Conches, 2 in Playa Encanto, one on Whale Hill and several more near Sandy Beach. I’m not going to do a public presentation on my reasoning but you are welcomed to message me and set up a meeting. You can take my...

    Moved down yesterday (San Louis) and today (Lukeville)

    I came down yesterday with a pickup bed full of house goods, a cooler, etc and two cats in the cab. Passing through at San Louis Rio Colorado I got a green light in spite of a moderate load, and kept on driving. A few bad potholes on the coast road but probably better than last year. This...

    Guaymas creates artificial reef for scuba diving

    When I was much younger I did wreck penetration diving, sometimes pretty deep, in New Zealand, Gulf of Mexico, Florida, etc. Its a blast when done correctly. But get ready for the fatalities in a vacation destination without a strong technical diving community. The dive operators are paid to...

    Wind Turbines

    No. The electromagnetic radiation 30 meters from a powerline is negligible. 60 Hz will not broadcast. There is nothing there.

    No they don’t cause adverse health effects.

    Coming down for the season later this week - what is the current drill?

    We will be coming down with pets and some personal items in two cars on two different days in the next week. I’ll probably cross at San Louis Rio Colorado and then meet my wife in Lukeville a day or two later and convoy back down. I know the checkpoints in Puerto Peñasco are mostly gone...

    COVID-19 Vacation Trial

    The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use a messenger RNA that encodes for producing Covid spike protein but no actual viruses are involved. AstraZeneca uses a primate virus with a modified genome. Bet on the mRNA vaccines.

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    My reading of some fairly obvious tea leaves is that the US will begin distributing the Pfizer vaccine four weeks from now. Based on side effects we believe my wife definitely got the vaccine, but it’s still near 50/50 for me. I’m primarily a physical scientist but the mRNA approach in the...

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    I’m seeing the “You are ignoring content by this member” flag in a few recent posts on this thread so the racist, anti-science trolls must be gathering for another desperate COVID fake news charge. Time for some of them to go back into the sock drawer, especially the ones who never have...

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    There are also cinder cones and mud volcanoes south and east of the Salton Sea in Imperial County California. I would expect that the local temperature increase in El Pinacante is mostly an albedo effect of the very dark surface absorbing more sunlight, essentially a microclimate effect...

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    I’m a retired physical scientist with hundreds of peer reviewed journal publications. Late in my career I taught climate science at a major university and traveled the world using underwater photography to document the effects of ocean acidification and ocean temperature increase on coral...

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    I prefer it with the meters. Usually I’m there to buy seafood, and it’s worth dropping a few pesos to park close to 3 Boys.

    Anyone crossed at San Luis and taken Coastal highway down lately?

    I go that way commonly — most recently August 3. The toll is 110 pesos. I’ve never had a problem after maybe 10 trips that way. They have been fixing some of the potholes but there were still a couple really bad ones. There is a bad curve at the site of a multicolored house where the...

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    Minors are not enrolled in the current clinical trials. There will be no data on safety for minors until late 2021, if then. Risk calculations need to balance risk of vaccination with risk of injury or death from infection. The mRNA vaccines seem to be inherently safer than virus derived...

    Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

    It would be a pity to screw up and get hospitalized or worse for COVID at this point. We get our second inoculations in the Pfizer vaccine trial in ten days, and then at the end of September we will independently get antibody testing to find out who got the actual vaccine and who got the...
