    Bodies Found

    Come on, only about 11 homicides per week, only 561 last year, they're trying. Sad that anyone has to be killed anywhere.

    Port ready yet?

    I saw an article on RP360 that said it was only 30% booked and they were going to do promo's to get it to 60% for it to fly. Hence the free airfare and hotel stays, guess that didn't help enough. Think of all those vendors that haven't been paid, that worked on the Jetty and other stuff to try...

    It's officially done for round one, looks doubtful it will get out of the ER.

    Over on FB, someone posted that the Dec cruises are cancelled. Somebody actually signed up was called by the cruise line to confirm. Here is the quote from FB. "The December Cruise Maritime Voyages sailings aboard the Astoria on the Sea of Cortez have been cancelled. Reason Provided: "extended...

    Sally's Passing

    I heard she had lung cancer and was battling it, a friend said she may have had a heart attack triggered by the stress of battling the cancer. People I know said they ate there the week before and everything seemed fine with Sally. Question now is what happens to her restaurant, hope it stays...

    Las C Fiber Optic installed

    I'm surprised TelMex hasn't gone to ADSL2+ which uses double bundles of copper wire. It will support speeds of 25Mbps and a range close to 5 miles from the central data supply. I have Century Link here in Phx and am getting speeds of 70Mbps down and 35Mbps upload. So they are enhancing it...

    Do you bring meat across border?

    It's really hit or miss these days, after reading a few posts about meat being confiscated, we make sure meat goes into the bottom of a fully packed ice chest with lots of ice in it. Sometimes we will just pull it out before the border and stuff it under the front seat and put something in front...

    PDO WiFi

    I hooked up an router ( Wavelink 1200ac $30 on Amazon) to the cheap modem/router that was installed for my service and it actually bumped my speed up 1 Mbps (WhooHoo). But, mainly it increased the range and quality of my Wi-Fi to cover an area 75-85ft away from my router with the same speed as...

    PDO WiFi

    I have one neighbor in Cholla who gets 5-7 Mbps and another literally 100 feet away on the same wire feed and closer to the Telmex box who get's 1-1.5 Mbps. Trying to stream at anything below 3 Mbps is only OK at best. I'm on the dish based service Aron Brown is running in Cholla and I am...

    PDO WiFi

    Doubtful, Internet in the Penasco area is mostly provided by Telmex, 8-10 Mbps at best, more likely 1-3Mbps. At PDO when they fill up, everyone is using it so it will be slow. Penasco's Internet service is like many rural areas in the US, much slower than in cities.

    $800-900 per month in Penasco is do able as a minimum with rent being $350 max. but you won't have much $ left over to do much else. I know of a few American's who rent in Cholla Bay who get by on $1,200 per month. They eat in a lot, shop as a local and don't drink a ton of alcohol. You can...

    September Nights

    And a week later it was decent. Friday night the 20th was nice and when we woke on Sat it was under 70 and pretty dry for Sept. I was here 3 years ago and it was hot and nasty with humidity.

    Cruises to start 2019. Make your reservation now.

    Why would the tourism president say that it's only averaging 30%? Wouldn't it make more sense, to hype it up more to drive up peoples interest and more reservations? It would be nice if they got this going and stable so it could help drive some employment gains and provide some much needed tax...

    Cruises to start 2019. Make your reservation now.

    Well, this thing isn't off to being the success story that everyone/some hoped for. Per RP360 cruises are only averaging being 30% booked. The Promoters are launching a big advertising campaign this fall to try to get the numbers up to 60%. Article mentions next season 2021 might not happen...
