Another reason that I dislike Walmart... They are not hiring local workers. They brought all the people from somewhere down South because labor was cheaper. Hundreds of poor locals have tried to get work on the project and have been turned away. They don't give a shit about the community and...

The only reason that I can think of is to exchange Dollars for Pesos. I deposit dollars into my account and take out pesos with my ATM card. Accounts are easy to open so I don't really see any other reason to keep it if you don't use it. You can just open a new one if you find a need.

The restaurant is on the ocean side of the lobby at the Sea.

This was the slowest Thanksgiving here that I have seen. And I've probably seen 10 or so.

The Sea restaurant does have a view of the ocean. It is not ocean front like the Sky but you can look out over the courtyard and pool area to the sea. The Sun restaurant does not have an ocean view unless you step out the door and look to your left.

Looks like they started breaking ground on Walmart (or it may be Bodega Aurrera, a Walmart subsidiary in Mexico) today. It is across Benito Juarez from Santa Fe Market as you come into town. Lots of people lined up looking for work. I have mixed feelings about bringing one here. May be good for...

Me too.

Wow, very cool. I'm jealous. I wondered if you guys would be able to go out today or not. I had to work so couldn't go either way. I'd like to head that way one of these days. BTW, how do you post those pics bigger than usual?

The school behind Bryans is CIMA. My 2 boys go there. It is a very good school that teaches in both Spanish and English (mostly Spanish). My kids were bilingual when they started there but some of thier friends came in with only English and have learned Spanish quickly. It is a private school...

Sad but true. It also seems that someone dies from a quad accident every spring break.

Bravo to my friend Rick Busa! He has (self admittedly) found his calling here in Penasco. He is doing a fantastic job making a difference.

It is true. I don't know yet who it was but one of our biker visitors was accidentally run over and killed. I'll know more later but it is very sad.

I am in need of a favor. I sold my US registered truck in Tucson in order to buy a Mexico registered vehicle here. I have been using Moms Town and Country van until I could find a vehicle. Now that I have found one, I need to get her van back to Tucson. I'll be there with the van next week and...

We've got a pretty good crowd at the Camel Toe Cantina. I just left there. I have to work these days so late nights out are few and far between.

The pharmacies can sell out thier old stock without a prescription. It is when they replenish it that they have to report what they sold and abide by the new law. A freind wanted some antibiotics this last trip up and I hit 3 pharmacies before finding one with unregulated stock.

They are at the Laguna Shores turnoff. They are there in support of some fishermen that were arrested for fishing in a restricted area. All have been released except the Captain and I got it on good word that everything will be resolved by Tues.

She is still alive. She is being kept unconsious while they do various surgeries. Tough girl.

Amazingly, she survived a fall from the 7th story terrace. She was stabilized here and rushed to the border to be airlifted to Phoenix. She is in ICU at St. Joseph's hospital. Landing on the grass probably made the difference.

I also seriously doubt that they will give out any free passes for DUI's in Laughlin. Just ain't gonna happen in the States. They tend to be much more open minded here. The business owners and the Penasco city government really do understand that we have to be nice to tourists if we want them back.

We've had it happen at the Camel T Cantina too. We have panic alarm buttons at the bar and once the cleaning lady pushed one by accident. The other time one was accidentally pushed when the bartenders were very busy. Both times the cops showed up within minutes with guns and serious faces on. No...
