    ZIP A DEE...snap...

    Well after having read some announcement awhile back about it being manufactured / installed by (?) a US company reputable worldwide for its zip lines, I expected to see something similar to the air-condition gondola car. Instead, saw what looked more like broomsticks and twine . . .

    ZIP A DEE...snap...

    Wondered what all the ambulance / siren action was when in town Sunday afternoon. Had visited the zip line a month or two ago, and it looked pretty primitive. . . .Could be a fun attraction if upgraded.

    YESTERDAY WAS A SCORCHER BUT TODAY?????

    Yep, but as mentioned above, the humidity is up there. Been down here since around the 10th, and nights / AMs were wonderful. Felt the humidity start rolling in around the 15th and by now, it's pretty thick. That said, there is a reason the return trip to Tempe didn't happen yesterday or...

    Anybody But Me Been Hearing This Ad on the Radio???

    And here I always thought that leasing a car . . . a home . . . or property in Mexico – unless some information is withheld in the transaction -- was an agreement rather than a scam. If -- sitting in front of my place with beer in hand, toes in the (leased) sand and eyes on sunset for 20...

    Anybody But Me Been Hearing This Ad on the Radio???

    Great points, above. But I would add another factor: US has been in recession (many would say depression) for many years. The barge is only beginning to turn around, and – depending on success – will (at a similar pace) affect Penasco.

    Anybody But Me Been Hearing This Ad on the Radio???

    Actually you were stating opinion (regarding climate preference) mixed with observations of a "comeback" (or, as you state, lack thereof) that doesn't match the days of the "boom." I would suggest that the reason for the mismatch is simply that comebacks -- economy and residual effect on...

    Anybody But Me Been Hearing This Ad on the Radio???

    So in short, 9 months out of the year are fantastic. And since I also like summer months, provided there's AC to retreat to, I'm in!

    Anybody But Me Been Hearing This Ad on the Radio???

    I had the same reaction to the "climate" comment, but chose to selfishly allow that rumor to fester, similar to my wholeheartedly agreeing with those afraid to travel into Mexico. (Just my little part in protecting the remoteness of beautiful beaches.)

    Of those who bring information (and disinformation) I especially appreciate that JJ brings perspective as well.

    Real Estate observations

    Well, have heard of activities in the old days yielding up a number of face-in-the-sand partiers, so wouldn't be surprised. But then pre 2000, those things happened closer to town as well.

    Real Estate observations

    Your painting Dorada / Miramar as geriatric is short-sighted. Not only are they, also, seeing an uptick in “lookers” and "takers," but a number of the old-timers admit that that they’re done with beach-front maintenance and ready to move on, while their now-grown kids are planning to take up...

    Roofer Flat roof

    Yeah – We’ve tried the elastomeric route, and it is about as durable as, say, Elmer’s Glue and plastic wrap. Recently spot-applied Henry’s 100% silicone. Threw some sand in for a little texture, as without it, the finished product transforms the roof top to a slippery slide. Sherwin Williams...

    Toy friendly neighborhoods

    Agree that there are those who putter respectfully down the beach, leaving only "gentle tire tracks," and those fly by on the back wheels. The road behind the beach-front homes provides a great option as well.
