    Best Bar to Watch Sunday's Mexico World Cup Match

    Was wondering where everyone is going to watch Sunday's 11:30am World Cup match of Mexico vs. Argentina. Anyone know of any specials going on? Chango's (or Capone's?) may have the most TVs, but I think I may bum out my lady friend if there isn't at least an ocean view...So I'm personally...

    A little help for a Newbie...

    Nice! What was the temp out there on the beach today, Sea? It is unbelievably miserable in Tucson today, extremely muggy and about 103, but feels much worse than the 109 yesterday.

    Had my eye on it for a long time, finally going on a weekend when it's available! And yes, bringing my seldom-used snorkling set, can't wait. Oh, and that full moon over the jacuzzi Sat night...well, I don't think you ask for much more!

    Partial Lunar Eclipse Saturday Night/Sun Morn

    As if seeing a full moon over the ocean wasn't going to be amazing enough this weekend... The first partial lunar eclipse visible in southern Arizona since February, 2008 will be showing in the night sky on Saturday morning, June 26th. The moon will enter into the shadow on the earth at...

    weekend of the 26th

    I'm heading down Saturday afternoon to Monday with a female friend, completely forgot that Mexico AND the US will be playing this weekend. Looks like 11:30am both days, USA vs. Ghana on Saturday, Mexico vs. Argentina on Sunday. That game will be NUTS! Definitely need to get somewhere early to...

    Yeah, mis2810, I hear ya'--back in the day the AZ Daily Star used to run these insane predictions for Penasco that were like 25 degrees off. I'd go down there in August (knowing full well that it'd be over 100)...

    Netflix Streaming Online in Puerto Penasco?

    Thanks! Last week I finally ditched my WinMo smart phone for one with an Android-based platform and am loving all these features I couldn't previously run. Next up is getting a some beach wi-fi access via Sat/Net Puerto Penasco!

    Netflix Streaming Online in Puerto Penasco?

    Mmm, looking forward to checking it out. And pausing the movie here and there to take a midnight swim. :) Also wondering about Pandora, the music-streaming site. Googling "pandora in mexico" does not bode well...Does anyone know of a good internet radio site similar to Pandora that works south...

    Yes, I keep checking out the temps on http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/76061.html at "Casa Weez," and have been quite amazed at the diff between Tucson & Penasco. At 4:45PM yesterday it was 89 in Penasco and anywhere from 104 to 107 in Tucson. Usually we're only a few degrees...

    Netflix Streaming Online in Puerto Penasco?

    Just wondering if any of you have found this possible? Haven't tried it yet and from what I've found online, it's a country-specific site and viewings outside of the US aren't allowed (without a clever proxy link). Thanks!

    I haven't had time to bone-up on why, but everyone I've spoken to who has lived in Tucson for a reasonable amount of time will agree that this is the windiest year we've ever had. Just ridiculous sustained gusts for hours on end...A calm day is out of the norm. Guess I could google this stuff...

    Ahhh, azdiva is opening an Ace Hardware in Penasco. Sweet! Will come in handy the next time I blow out a beach chair.

    4th weekend

    They DID have a dry weekend last 4th when I was there and it was funny, as we hurriedly threw cases of beer and tequila into our shopping carts at Super Ley, trying to beat the deadline, the locals I spoke to had no idea it was going to be dry. (They were Mexican and PROBABLY locals, as they...

    Are you making a correlation between the early appearance of the jellyfish, the heavy winds and waves Penasco has had recently, and other events buried in these articles pointing towards another hurricane reaching the Penasco shores?

    Penasco Police Chief Landagaray critical after ambush

    Never understood that whole police convoy routine. In my younger years, they missed many of our questionable activities in the process! ;)

    Penasco Police Chief Landagaray critical after ambush

    First the shootings, now jellyfish in June!?!? What's next, a surprise election/dry weekend? Guess this is not the best time to take down a first-timer, but looks like we're gonna' do it anyway this weekend. Anything special going on?
