    Shake Rattle and Earthquake

    What is the name of that little fishing community in the tip just above Puerto Libertad? I'm drawing a blank. It's at 30.268528, -112.863986 on google maps. Nevermind, Puerto Lobos is what I was looking at. Very close to the epicenter.

    Jimena's aftermath in Rocky Point

    Yeah, we were about to leave the harbor on a marg cruise (they're down to 18$/pp including drinks now!!!) and that weird brown misty cloud came over. Like dust combined with ocean mist. Has been a beautiful weekend. However, waaaaay to humid to be bending over looking at cheap sunglasses in...

    Hermosillo to San Carlos Hwy Closed...

    Yeah, I really don't understand the utter incompetence here, reading the NHC advisories that keep saying it's way over in Baja when it's just sitting on top of San Carlos in every satellite photo from the last 36 hours. Can they only handle ONE hurricane at a time? "Heckuva' job, Brownie," is...

    Hermosillo to San Carlos Hwy Closed...

    Read about it here: http://vivasancarlos.com/bulletin/index.html They got the info via http://www.elimparcial.com/ Here's a quote from someone on the board: "...it does not sound good. The international highway between Guaymas and Hermosillo was closed at 9am and is still closed as far as I...

    Labor Day Fishing

    Am I to assume that all of the sunset cruises will be shelved this weekend, if Jimena reaches Penasco on Saturday as predicted?

    Turnaround time for a passport

    Yeah, if I was Hispanic, Italian, Greek or anything that might be considered "ethnic" looking, even if I was raised in America, etc., I wouldn't be pushing the limits of the law. (And slowing up the line!) I owe that at least to the people I'm on a trip with--I'm not at the border to make some...

    Turnaround time for a passport

    Regarding the "fine" comment, I am 100% sure there's no fine. That was mentioned in each article that came out after the June 1st cutoff.

    Kenny: Hahhaha. Whoops! I just meant, I look like a harmless, goofy, typical Irish white boy. Not all that & a bag of chips!

    Turnaround time for a passport

    The last two times I've gone through the border since the new rules went into effect in June, I just gave the border guard my DL and birth certificate. First guy didn't say anything, 2nd guy made a joke about me having to go back through Nogales and that I was now a Mexican citizen. Hah, very...

    Mosquitos

    That was, ummm, interesting. An American Prayer was the only post-Morrison-death album I'd ever owned. Now I know why! Back to the mosquitoes...Grrr. Hope most of their fury is gone a week from now! Nevertheless, we'll be bringing some serious OFF!
