    Not sure Mexico will ever overcome this curse

    Yes, I think this is true and it is little discussed. The ramifications of that eventuality argue to keep the drugs flowing. Personally I don't care about the durg traffic per se, if the Shitheads would just stop the bad stuff for the people, rape, kidnapping, murder, etc. If the US did not get...

    Mexico president seeks to dissolve local police forces

    This has been discussed for several years it is not something new. The key is actual local control by the residents, not the political party of the moment. I like what has happened in some of the indigenous areas down south. Self policing with courts under their control also and it appears it...

    A perfect November day. Warm with only light breezes, full sun and bright blue skies. Lots of people in town.

    Not sure Mexico will ever overcome this curse

    I think the fundamental factor that supports the Cartels in Mexico is POVERTY. There are other factors of course, fear and corruption being two other big ones. But if people have something to protect they will. If your little child says "I'm hungry" and you have no money for food what will you...

    Not sure Mexico will ever overcome this curse

    Legalizing pot is NOT the answer. The cartels will not disappear if pot is legalized. Cartels make more from alternative drugs, Meth. Heroin. Easier to make, more compact to transport and worth more on the street...

    The deported

    Yes, lots of similar people here. They might have a BA from the states but they cannot get a job here because they are considered uneducated, they were not educated in Mexico !!

If you have a few ( 5 t0 10) you can drop them off at Twin Dolphins as he stops regularly. Please do not bring boxes full of the past 10 years of National Geographic as we cannot handle them...

    Inshore Flounder

    Friend caught what he thought was probably a 10 pounder. He thought it was a big ray till he got it up. He says also look for a deep spot and that's where they hang out.

    Monarch's Come to Penasco

    They are all over Las Conchas today. The fourth generation Monarch is born in September and October and goes through exactly the same process as the first, second and third generations except for one part. The fourth generation of monarch butterflies does not die after two to six weeks...

    Mexico's Nazi past

    They use that hand flat on outstreatched arm at meetings here and in Hermosillo. I always found it odd.

    Youth Against Violence Parade in Penasco.

    A float leading, without exaggeration, over 100 horses with riders of all ages paraded down Fremont to BJ. The float had prolly 25 men dressed in white and carried a banner "Joven Contra Violencia" (Youth against Violence.) Good to see people getting mobilized. I bet the riders were from all...

    Anyone selling a decent car?

    Just be aware that the worst thing you can do with a vehicle is to leave it sit. Factor in high maintenance. You will need to pay storage to keep it safe. Battery will go dead and you will arrive to spend a day or so fixing it. Tires will rot. Vehicle will be filthy. You are thinking about...

    Corvina !!

    Yesterday I was enjoying watching the pelicanos gathering and diving off the beach. Down the beach came a panga which stopped and spred their net. They were close in so I got a good view of the procedure. I think the pelicanos attracted the fishermen, but as usual there was a spotter on the...

    Looking to work in PP any ideas? (serious question)

    Ok, here's an idea that should work. Solar hot water heaters. You would need to make some prototypes. Simple design with no pumps or power required. I saw a huge pile of old hot water heaters in Ajo some time back that make perfect units. Cut the metal skin on 1/2 -1/3 of the tank top to...
