    Car Jacking - 12/26/09

    I was at Latitude 31 and met up with Debbie and Tim who own in Las Gaviotas. They had just arrived and said there were lots of cops on the road.

    Drug murders 2 weeks ago?

    This was covered in the Rocky Point News Online. The six men were identified as all being from Sinaloa, although a couple had been living in Sonoyta and another couple in Mexicali. I don't think the problem is a result of increased narco presence, but they are fighting over turf left open by...

    Car Jacking - 12/26/09

    Funny, I never heard from Steve again. I didn't take your comment personally at all. I've got all the info, and when I have it, you'll have it. Thanks, Kenny...I know you're in my corner.

    Car Jacking - 12/26/09

    Let me explain something. Officials here don't read the RPNO, although they should. They didn't even think about informing me. The minute the rumor got to me on Tuesday, I made phone calls and within five minutes had someone in my office (close to city hall, after all) to discuss it with me. I...

    Car Jacking - 12/26/09

    The story was broken a day earlier on Mexican radio. I'm glad I was able to convince them to also give us the interview in English. The mayor was out of town and had to authorize it, ergo the 1 day delay. Obviously, in the interview I was working with some guidelines and structure. That isn't...

    Car Jacking - 12/26/09

    Until about Tuesday, all there was to go on was rumor from the grapevine. Keep in mind that officials were 1. doing all they could to assist the victims and mobilizing to find the culprits. I think after that, much time was spent in high-level meetings, as even the Governor's office is involved...

    Car Jacking - 12/26/09

    Ah, Joe...when did you become such a cynic? The last thing officials are going to allow right now are people getting hassled by the authorities. Even a flat tire on the highway this weekend will probably bring help before you know it.

    Car Jacking - 12/26/09

    Good points, Kenny. Believe me, the delay had nothing...trust me, NOTHING...to do with local business interests. It was about a new way of doing things. As an American, raised in the States, I know the importance of informing the public in a timely manner. But remember, for our local officials...

    The Malecon on weekends.....

    Holy crap, I wrote the thing in English and it still requires two interpreters to explain to AZ Miguel? AZM, you remind me of Rosanne Rosanna Dana when she'd go off on a tangent only to find that she had misunderstood to begin with...Geez...

    Bars still hanging in there on Mirador?

    Manny's is having half price all night on Saturday, Nov. 7th. I haven't seen cars outside the Pink Cadillac in a long time and the Baja Cantina is closed except for occasions like the Rally. I've never been in Around D' Corner. Like the Black Dog, the Sandbar has its regulars.

    Coming to Bike Week? Remember your Insurance!

    Thanks, Joe. I appreciate the business. Yes, I'm paid a commission for the sales. I pay my staff a salary regardless, so the commission helps offset the overhead. The in-person sales keep the company rolling and the online sales are my pocket money...whoopee!

    Mickey's Best in RP?

    I met Mickey about a month or two before his death. Vicente Fernandez was in town to give a free concert in the Malecon to celebrate the Border Governors Conference. I gave away my VIP pass to watch the show with Mickey and his family from the upstairs terrace at his place. He was too ill by...
