    Sea Lion at the Old Port....is that unusual?

    May just be my luck, but I've seen almost an equal number of sea lion(s?) in close range than dolphin through the years just sitting on the beach in Las Conchas or Mirador, even more so on the sunset cruises that used to extend down to the end of Las Conchas. These days, to save gas, they sit in...

    What was happening at the Pithaya/Hotel Monday???

    Not to be taken literally as anarchic in nature, especially in this instance, but this article has an example of a typical red/black "strike" flag and briefly explains some of the origins of the flag and its connections to labor union movements. 2nd down from the center here...

    Encanto Condos Out By the Mayan Palace

    Who knows what high-priced products you may find in the little tourist shop (if they have one) in the lobby of Encanto, or at the Luna Blanca tower condos next door, but I know when I used to stay at my ex's family's house in the Playa Encanto community, not far from those condos, we had to turn...

    This Morning on the Malecon 10/17/2011

    Damn! That's cheap, even beats a rental car! If it was only leaving later on Friday, or Saturday early, and coming back Monday. I normally have Sun/Mon off, and can swing Saturdays, but never Fridays until after 7pm.

    Nogales Border McDonalds Torn Down Today

    So sad! Been going there since college trips down to Nogales. Many a night did that building provide shelter, become a meeting place for "lost" friends, and surely helped more than one eventual hangover hurt a little less the next morning. A new one will be built, but it'll never feel the same...

    This Morning on the Malecon 10/17/2011

    Speaking of the Malecon, how is the construction/paving coming along? Were the detours running smoothly even with all the visitors? Businesses are still doing better than in 2010?

    Thunder update

    I was waiting for someone to bring up the "rock" comment from the video regarding how the Mayor's SUV's back window was blown out by a stray rock that popped up from the sand during the race. In my other post I let the video stand for itself without commentary, but that was odd to make light of...

    PenascoPalooza Reviews/Photos?

    Just randomly ran into a friend of mine who used to be a concert promoter in Tucson and she said the show was fun, the musicians were top-notch and, though a local promoter boasted 1000 tickets sold, she could only confirm about 500-plus in attendance. She wanted to qualify this quote with the...

    Thunder update

    Just to add to Jim's comments, were any of you there for the first Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers show on top of the Sunset Cantina? I've seen bigger crowds watch cr@ppy cover bands playing local dive bars. Was the inflatable Dos XXs bottle that kept blowing onto the band a problem? Sure. Not...

    Thunder update

    Rome was not built in one day, as they say. The biggest thing that will attract more to future events, in my opinion, is that the cars were let through without a hassle through the Mexican border, and, God-willing, they will go back into the US without incident. The track quality and other...

    VIDEO: Thunder on the Beach 2011 Recap

    Roberto, you realize this is from a diff event, in Panama, not Penasco, and the vid was posted in May. That said, Sunset Cantina posted a "Panty Droppers" after-party for the event that boasted that any female who dropped her panties would get a free beer. (Yeah, JUST a damn beer!) The Facebook...
