    Toilet Paper

    I was in Sam's Club on Fri afternoon and they still had a lot of TP, but I did see more than a few carts with 3-4 big packs of TP. I bought one 40 pack of TP and a 8 pack of paper towels for my Cholla place. I ended up taking the TP back to Phx after my wife told me she couldn't find any TP at...

BaNorte, I stopped using them because they were not giving me the Market rate on Pesos at the ATM (they were posting their rate on the screen which was 1.5 pesos less) and the ATM fee was almost 40 pesos...

    Shop around and Ask, a few years ago I used BBVA Bancomer and let my balance drop below the minimum to have zero service fees (without knowing about it). Bancomer started charging a monthly service fee of $20 so my account was wiped out after 5-6 months

    Joe, years ago, before my Cholla time, there was a Check point going into Cholla. (in the 50's and 60's) A guard would ask why you were going to Cholla, before allowing you to enter. I think I was told, this was operated by the OBSC in Cholla and you might have needed permission to enter? But...

    As Ultraron said, super easy, as you go into the building there is a ticket machine they don't really use anymore. A lady near the machine will look at your paperwork and point you to the line to wait in (2 weeks ago it was line 5 and 6) they will look up your 2020 taxes at the window and...

    That looks like a nightmare. After dealing with BBVA Bancomer about being behind for our trust payments, discovered they're awful to deal with as well as well. BBVA told us, It isn't their responsibly to notify you if you're not paying the correct amount for your Trust payment. (numerous...

    Today while crossing into Mexico I saw a lot of construction equipment and was hoping they started on improving the crossing with additional lanes with Sentri/Readi lanes. Nope! . Just a Pedestrian Barrier Avoidance system. LOL
