    CFE Payments

    Correct -- the bill will simply reflect a zero balance if nothing is due, but does not indicate credits and remaining (true) balance, if any. Must view your account online to find that.

    What's with the southbound interrogation?

    I was doing the same that day around 11:00 AM. Backed up about a mile out, even then. After about 20 minutes of almost no movement, the line began moving a little faster. It was as if they were checking every vehicle for awhile, and then -- as if to ease up the line a bit -- changed (by the...

    CFE Payments

    I didn't explain that -- while we too have always prepaid -- each paper statement showed a zero balance, and each time we would verify remaining funds in the account by checking the account online. This time, the online account showed no remaining funds. Thus the visit to CFE to resolve.

    CFE Payments

    Those home owners who don't live here 24/7, and who therefore maintain a cushion (negative balance due) in their CFE electrical account might want to keep an eye open. Our account suddenly showed a zero (rather than negative) balance on this month's statement. There had been enough funds in...

    Mosquitos problem.

    There are plenty of mosquitos east of Encanto as well. Until they phase out, and until some good breezes happen, at sunrise, and after sunset it is best to stay inside.

    SOMETHING I READ ON ANOTHER FORUM

    No. 4 might be: If you are consistently predatory toward others and are a relentless naysayer, you just might nearly destroy the forum that you so enjoy.

    What's with the southbound interrogation?

    It might just be the Labor Day onslaught, versus any "interrogation" process. Would be interested in hearing once you get through.

    Furniture Purchase

    Going south on Benito Juarez, south of Santa Fe Market . . . I don't know . . . maybe a couple blocks . . . on southwest quadrant. I look for the intersection where that second-hand shop displays their wares on the SW corner . . . and Fortaleza is the next building south of that. Parking...

    Furniture Purchase

    Back in 2014, when brokenwave first recommended Fortaleza del Sol Muebles for customized furniture, I filed it in the memory bank. Then recently I submitted to them a rendering / dimensions of a cabinet that I had in mind. Voila -- 3 weeks later, for reasonable price, they delivered the...

    What's with the southbound interrogation?

    That may be why I am here to talk about it. :)

    What's with the southbound interrogation?

    Thanks for the enlightenment. (Reminder to self: Never dare to suggest that the emperor has no clothes, or there will be consequences.)

    What's with the southbound interrogation?

    Got to the southbound border around 11:15 am. There was a backup . . . short line but long wait. No US patrol at the southbound gate, so it wasn’t them. No delay at the Mexico “red light / green light,” so shrugged and proceeded. Then, approaching the “tourist / visa” office building, the...

    Laguna Shores mentioned in article - not in a good way

    Sales presentation! This was more like applying for a mortgage loan with bad credit -- except not as quick, easy and friendly. At least they stopped short of a body-cavity search. (Or maybe that's why they didn't show Part 2.)

    Animal Certificates of Health at Border

    Thanks. (In any case, they sure try to make it difficult for law-abiding folks to frequent / live there part time, and spend their money in Mexico!)

    Animal Certificates of Health at Border

    Has anyone experienced this new "certificate of health" requirement since El Tiburon's initial post? The rabies is one thing. Certificates of health in the US stipulate on the form that they are only good for 10 days. For someone like me, who goes down almost twice a month year-round, that is...

    Permanent Resident Card?

    If your insurance agent is correct (and that is really the only interpretation I've heard that makes any sense at all) I can breathe easier. . . . . Oh wait -- I just read Russ's response . . . . breathing slightly labored again. But thanks for the clarification, Russ.

    New Mexico hunters and trappers killing every bear and lion they can

    Ranchers (the meat and dairy industry that Americans so cling to) don’t like wolves who eat their livestock, and hunters don’t like wolves who create a balance in nature that reduces the argument to cull deer. So yeah . . . the odds aren’t so good . . .

    Furniture Purchase

    Hacienda Del Sol (I hear they moved or will move in July across from Sam's) often has some (or can order) contemporary designs. Fortaleza Del Sol, a furniture manufacturer south of there (west side of Juarez) builds mostly traditional / rustic items, but they also offer to build to order. I...
