    I had to defend my future home....

    You did not offend me, it has just been driving me crazy hearing this from everyone, even my own mother does it. I truly enjoy all of your posts.

    I had to defend my future home....

    I don't know of too many people who refer to Disneyland as "Walt Land"...maybe it is the company we keep or the circles we run in.

    I had to defend my future home....

    I agree with your above sentiments but I have to ask why almost everyone in RP refers to Bodega Aurrera as Walmart? You poke fun at Wahoo for saying there is a Costco here but I don't see any Walmart. It is not a Walmart, it is a grocery chain that is owned by the parent corporation of Walmart...

    I had to defend my future home....

    In addressing your most recent statement above, if you use this as an argument for our continued presence in RP, wouldn't you also have to lay blame on the gringos for the current economic woes? Is it your argument that the number of luxury condos in Rocky Point (both fully built and partially...

    I had to defend my future home....

    Wahoo, I will concede the point on fishing vs. shrimping. In my book (which I fully admit I may be wrong) any living creature pulled from the sea by a human is fishing. We will have to disagree on the other point. I don't doubt that Rocky Point has seen its struggles and its lean times. I do...

    I had to defend my future home....

    Not to argue the point, but neither of the references to Rocky Point or Cancun are 100% correct. Cancun was developed as a tourist destination since day one. The Mexican government paid for the first hotels to be built. All of the planning and infrastructure was designed to support the tourism...

    Buying Cymbalta in Rocky Point

    The law in Mexico recently changed and now requires you to have a valid prescription when buying antibiotics. Some places may ignore this for their gringo customers. Doctors visits can be had for just a few dollars in order to obtain the prescription.

    Bancomer Cajero Fees

    There are a few local banks that will open an account and give you a debit card with just your passport. In most cases to obtain a Mexican credit card, you will need to open an account with an FM-2 or FM-3 and establish a short history with the bank first (usually 6 months to 1 year). I also...

    It's Lookin' Like a Good Weekend for RP!

    I don't think that anyone is arguing that point, we are certainly giving up more of our freedom. My point was that the government wants the cash and the forfeitures far more than they want to absorb the cost of prosecution and incarceration of the mules. They would never allow Mexico to be...

    It's Lookin' Like a Good Weekend for RP!

    Because finding the cash going South is of a higher priority than finding the drugs going North.

    Boomer Fest Press Release

    I ran each of the names of the proposed artists through the database at Pollstar.com. Not looking good, Santana is booked at the House of Blues during this timeframe and a healthy portion of the other artists are booked on cruise ships or casinos.

    Boomer Fest Press Release

    So where is this list of artists??? I have yet to see a major festival launch their advertising campaign without an announcement of their artist lineup. There has to be a draw in order to attract customers. Even looking at their list of proposed acts, artists who normally play the state fair or...

    colledge students discovered new way to get drunk faster

    I gave this a try and not only did it waste a bunch of my boxed wine, it left a terrible mess for me to clean up. Barely even got me buzzed, not worth the effort or the clean up! (I'm only kidding)

    Boomer Fest Press Release

    That was the same press release they sent out earlier this week. They were supposed to announce the 24 "major" artists today.

    Boomer Fest Press Release

    This thing is falling apart before it even gets started. What happened to the "major press release on September 14"? I am anxious to see how they plan to attract 70,000+ to the Mexican desert and how they arrived at a projected $45,000,000.00 cash infusion into the local economy.

    City of Penasco on strike?

    They may be on strike again soon. When I was at the electric company (CFE) last week, a city worker was begging them not to turn off her power as she had not been paid in over 2 months. They told her no.

    Directv Help

    Memo is short for Guillermo. We asked him about Cholla and he said no problem. I live here in RP full-time so if you need me to call in Spanish and set something up for you I would be happy to help.

    Boomer Fest 2013

    I would love for this event to be as advertised. Rocky Point needs some high profile events to keep tourism active and growing. That said is it reasonable that anyone would drive to a foreign country and spend 10 times the price of a single concert to see some of these acts in the desert? Most...
