    Any changes at the border?

    I headed north through Lukeville a couple days ago. CPB seemed on edge. I suppose Trump’s pending arrival way over in Yuma might have accounted for it. I got a lot more than the normal number of questions since getting Mexican residency. Agent looked at my record of crossings (two or three...

    Some of the people who post here are scientists with decades of experience working in a lab, or even hundreds of peer reviewed publications. Such people tend to bristle at hearing racist slang for things that have perfectly reasonable scientific and common names. Such people also know that if...

    I also have a reliable report that the strategy of renting a room for one night to re-enter and move to your home has been shut down.

    No shots were fired. I am aware of a few well connected people who are renting houses out that are not on the approved list. So the integrity of this process is less than complete.

    20 minutes ago I observed a police action against a group of vehicles bypassing security off road near the highway from Golfo. Some people might be quarantining in jail tonight.

    Rocky Point City Limits

    Probably has a grandparent who is Croatian. Irish passport used to be very easy for Americans to get.

    Rocky Point City Limits

    He’s a US citizen who travels a lot, owns a place in Italy and has legal residency in Italy, and got himself a Croatian passport, just in case. Makes me think that a Mexican passport could come in handy someday.

    Rocky Point City Limits

    They got into Italy yesterday. Getting out of LAX yesterday was a giant run around until he pulled out his emergency backup Croatian passport.

    Rocky Point City Limits

    Some friends bought a house in La Spezia Northern Italy last year. Their plan was to fly out there yesterday. I don’t know if they were able to do it or not. I‘ve been in Puerto Peñasco since January. Mostly it has been good. I’m planning to go to California next week.

    I’m going to be purposely vague but I saw something interesting over the weekend. I saw between 6 and 10 street legal 4 wheel drive vehicles, coming from the direction of San Louis Rio Colorado and traveling at high speed off road, bypass he checkpoints and enter town. They were traveling in...

    Sanitary barriers in other locations?

    I’ve studied the Az public health website. One thing they are doing that is not helpful is that on their zip code map the highest density is 40+, and basically every urban zip code is 40+, and probably has been for weeks. Studying other representations of data, every urban area in the State...

    I’ve thought about this for someone else. I think your best option is to get a booking for a minimum stay at one of the approved places on the cometorockypoint web site and then eat the cost. Makes little sense. I suspect that the city is running out of money and they need a fast infusion...

    If you are a Canadian currently in Puerto Peñasco the border status is an issue. There is no problem going south and US citizens with passports have no problem going north.

    Added to the uncertainty is how long and to what degree past infection conveys ongoing immunity. Fortunately the mutation rate is still low, but we know so little about immunity.

    Your own numbers imply that only 0.5 % of the population has been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 disease. At this rate we are about 10 years from developing herd (not heard immunity). This points out the risks in taking epidemiological advise from the marginally...

    Nothing is certain. My wife had to go back to California for a week and returned during the period residents were allowed back in. She had a residence card and CFE bill. It was perfunctory. Nothing to sign, no decal on car. Painless. The next day, so we heard, some people were being...

    Some of the projects in town are being built by work crews out of Hermosillo. I suppose it will be phase 3 before they are let in. Some smaller projects never stopped.

    “BTW, they need to correct #5. From my recollection, they don’t allow straws in Rocky Point anymore.” I was offered and declined a straw with my ice water at breakfast yesterday. Last week I had a total of six meals out in three different restaurants. At one meal I saw a Mexican family with...

    We had dinner at Chef Mickey’s Place last night. Great meal and excellent service.

    My wife reentered Puerto Peñasco yesterday around dinner time with no difficulties. They had answer a few questions, studied her residence card and CFE bill, and walk the dogs through the tunnel of placebo.
