I am told that the graft is terrible at the border and a few hundred dollar bills gets you into the country if you are an illegal or if you are carrying something illegal. What I just wrote is unsubstantiated by me but I have heard it many times. Even more gossip: I met a guy in a bar and he...
Now you have me researching Henry Crabbe. Also love the word Filabustero (new to me). Have fun at the festival. Wish I was in Mexico to see all of the Mexican children dressed up in their finest clothes for mass and to give them all candies and goodies.
I'm guessing costs for a small jet with 15 passengers is 800-900 a passenger to fly from Scottsdale to Penasco. I expect to see those 25 passenger turboprops mostly.
Funny, I would be more likely to stop for Americans on the South side of the border than I would for Americans on the North side. I have towed many gringos either to the border or in to Penasco, depending on which way I was going.
Wow, Jerry. I had to look up refractory concrete and I am a contractor. I did find a few sites that give recipes on how to make it yourself. Good luck.
Bring extra picture ID's as it seemed to help us. My son and I crossed this past Wednesday and like kids, we forgot our passports. The guards made us pull over to the right for a full auto inspection (they found two rogue tangerines) put us in the sequester room inside the building and asked us...

I just wish there was a viable alternative to using gasoline for transportation. We will always be at be mercy of fluctuating gas prices if we remain solely dependent on gas as a fuel. If there were competition in the marketplace with a viable alternative fuel like natural gas, electricity...
This is a somewhat limited view on a transaction. Having successfully built in Mexico I am well aware of the value of seeing what you are purchasing and moving right in. One can also run into dishonest and deceitful people that may be selling you something that they have no right to sell. I...
Good luck with your recovery. I am glad you found out what's ailing you.
People are adamant and confident about where they ate something that got them sick but in reality it is difficult to prove. Bacteria can be picked up anywhere, may stay in your body for several days before blooming and...
We drove from LaPaz to RP over a three day period. I must have been young and dumb because we did a lot of night driving. At the time, we went through 17 Federale checkpoints between LaPaz and RP but the Federales were a welcome sight when compared to the insane bus drivers and the completely...
