Ditto.

Yeah. Happens sometimes. Every so often you either got a narcissist, or a rookie/narcissist. Those types tend to take themselves too seriously. In contrast, I remember years ago there was a regular officer at the border who was older -- Must have been retired from a higher post, because you...

Wiping the tears and looking forward, though, that sure is a prime, blank canvas of real estate. Hope they use it wisely,

I have. Response: Less than $10K.

Whoa. The immediate encouraging news in your situation is that you changed docs. That alone will have been a huge step, from what you describe. Now that they're finally investigating rather than patting you on the head and telling you to run along, you can look forward to answers, treatment and...

That's how it's been in my experience. We invite someone who hasn't been down before or for awhile. They respond in fear and trembling, citing media warnings. We roll our eyes. Eventually they accompany us, knees knocking. By the end of their stay in Penasco, they want to know how soon they can...

We and friends don't give personal protection in Penasco a thought. "Personal protection" down there means, say, taking caution about driving too close to spring breakers when they're in town. Okay, locking doors when away is another good idea if you have some real valuable stuff. But firearms...

Yep. Just to expound on my earlier comment -- For many years we've been on the patio from time to time observing changes at various points on the horizon. Among our fascinating :wink: conversation: "Well they're burning the fields out east again." Or "There's that mirage out east again." They...

If I were among a vacationing family, I would avoid the hotel scene and look to rent a beach-front house or unit a few minutes east of town. A sliding door is all that separates you from your patio and the beach. Los Conchas, Encanto, Dorada, Myrimar are a few beaches (in order of increasing...

Yep. The media spews all sorts of things that wide-eyed believers chew and swallow with no question, and then view dissidents as not so smart. Ironic it is. In the case of the Rocky Point disinformation, would-be tourists have been hoodwinked into staying home for years. But if I'm not mistaken...

We've seen that from time to time for years. They periodically do a controlled burning of the fields down "that way" as part of an agricultural process.

Great point. Among the few fast-food places I'll eat at, Chipotle is a favorite. But then I order a burrito bowl (a burrito with no tortilla) of rice, lettuce, black beans, pico and a dollop of guac. I stand in line behind others ordering those monsterous burritos piled high with meat and sour...

A good reminder. And diet is another major factor as well. The American diet is pretty toxic. Sorry for your loss.

Don't quote me, but I remember something like $1,600 or $1,800 per implant versus the $4,000 quoted in the US.

A friend got two implants from Dr. Ernesto Grijalva this last year. His quote in the States (after insurance) was over twice what Dr. Grijalva charged. The friend, who is now going to him for bridgework, says he not only does quality work, but is trustworthy. He is really happy with him. The...

Well yes, but here's the quirky thing about that. Even a light wind counteracts the humidity. And the nearer the water, the better the breeze. It's a bit of a gamble, but for the few times that airflow is nil, AC and a good book is always an adviseable mid-day backup plan.

Yep. That is the generality that I've heard and experienced. (In summer, the coolness increases toward water's edge)

In January temps range from 60 to 80 degrees, and nights in the 40s. This year so far is warmer in the Sonoran Desert, so unless a shift happens, it should be exceptionally nice. The New Year is a popular time down there. I, too, was there Wednesday through Sunday, and really enjoyed the...

Ahh yes. I just love sitting on the patio, blasted with constant, high-pitched noise, breathing exhaust fumes, and watching birds take flight, mothers grabbing their children and the beach getting ripped up. (There is an area behind the development in the Sandy Beach region that is available for...

Saw some at that shop directly across from Friendly Dolphin (Dolphin Amigable)
