    Coastal Highway to Sandy Beach

    I went to Black Mountain via the new road yesterday. It is paved all the way to both ends. Really a time saver from Sandy Beach.

    I was told by Guss that the lien has been released and he sent a letter to all the owners. I have not seen one of the letters and do not know when construction will start again but it has definitely moved in the right direction.

    Imminent means, in my and several other opinions, that they are delaying the announcement for political reasons. Everyone that I spoke with, from the SBR team to the Mayor agreed that it is "imminent", however the actual official announcement and groundbreaking date has not been disclosed. I am...

    The house in Cholla is owned by a local Realtor and her husband, Gus has nothing to do with Las Palomas, and yes, he has hired a famous lock builder from England to design and build for the marina project. (the marina is a private venture, the port will be government money) I have spent a lot of...

    Chair needs reupholstered

    There is a little shop (a house) across the street from Los Pinos hardware store at the corner of Revolution and Constitution. They did a boat interior a few years back and made me some curtains recently. They did a great job for a cheap price. I have my Dad's old Lazyboy in my shed and have...

    Another Reason That I Live Here

    Here is another reason that I love to live here... Yesterday was my son's 14th birthday. Today, while I was at work, my wife put on a celebration of the anniversary of his birth. That means that she spent all last night making tamales and pozole, cleaning the house and yard and then today...

Manny Jr. is working on the technical side of things but that is where you will need to go when we start next month. Did I mention that...

    Major Fly Infestation

    I took my family to the water park outside of town several years ago (when it was still open). We brought a gallon of that orange juice wannabe drink. As soon as we opened it, we were immediately overwhelmed by bees. After about 15 minutes, we thought about just leaving but I put the jug next to...

    Cockfighting At Manny's Beach Club

    I didn't say that I approved of it. I just wanted to make a comment about my conversation with Manny Jr. today. And, I am more than a little bothered about people in general telling Mexicans how they should live in their own Country. (Not specifically referring to cock fighting). Thanks for the...

    Cockfighting At Manny's Beach Club

    Manny Jr. stopped by my office today and we briefly discussed this thread. We both ended up just shaking our heads. He doesn't have anything to do with what goes on at his Dad's place. And, although cock fighting is taboo in the USA, it has a very long tradition here in Mexico. If you don't like...
