    BUYING TIRES, LOCALLY?

    Being that almost all tires are now made in China, I would think that they would also be in PP. I just bought a car that will need new tires, and I'm trying to save a buck on same. Tired of the old Discount Tire routine of valve stems, rotation every 5000 miles etc.

    This just in!!!

    Past experiences resulted in our Encanto group leaving and going to Playa Benito. Why? any promoted RP activity, was an automatic raising of happy hour drinks, by 30%. We had patronized it every thursday for yrs., but have a more accommodating host in Playa Benito.

    Visa Requirements

    This sounds like the Maria that gave us a referral, for an attorney, whom we paid and never received any service after accepting $800, for the acquiring of a bank trust on a lot, never happened. Office use to be above Bryan,s sports bar. Would never recommend, you even consider using her.

    Baby Pelicans

    I've always felt that in the fall (as right now) , that after pelicans dive for the anchovies (or what ever those black pools of fish are) you see the babies follow them hoping for a tid bit of fish. Every time hi-winds occur they love to ride the free air lift that it provides. Up and down...
