was a huge success. There is some distortion and exaggeration in the following accounts, but I guess it's no longer a secret. I've translated the one article for your convenience. There's no reason to think Baja is losing races. However the meeting with Mr Norman went better than we could've...

Hi guys, just putting this out there because you guys are full of...well...hmm...mostly good ideas. I have a daughter, age 43, that I've not seen for about 20 yrs. I've never met my grandchildren, ages 19 & 16. Here's the good news: They're coming to Peñasco and will be here from July 3-8. As...

Hi everyone, once more I come asking for help with something special. There is a 50-yr old woman in Peñasco who can no longer afford colostomy bags. I don't know what they cost in the States, but here they run almost $100 usd for a box of 5. She uses one per day. I know great things happen when...

Cha Cha's was a great experience and I'm sure I'll be back often. The owners, staff, atmosphere and food were great. Friendly people, I hope they do well.

When is the last time your HOA gathered comparison quotes before renewing the Common Area or D & O insurance? Probably never. This isn't a ploy to sell more insurance, nor is it a plea for sales. Without knowing what your current coverage is and what you're paying, I couldn't presume to say that...

Hey all, since the 4th is on a Wednesday, will either the weekend before or after the 4th be a long one? Is everyone just celebrating mid-week with no extended holiday? I got a call yesterday from someone in government asking this question and I have no idea. I think the question came from...

I'm not interested in going out of my way to make trouble for anyone. The question comes up because there are kids involved. Know someone here can tell me if there's an easy way to check for warrants in the US. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, Some of you might've heard this on the radio last Saturday, but I'm finally ready to buy myself a vehicle. I prefer pickups and SUVs to sedans and am thinking maybe 2005 or so. Most importantly, it must be reliable for long trips and somewhat comfortable. Best if the mileage isn't too...

Alright, you might not have a Shrimp Festival to go to, but if you're in town come on by Latitude 31 for the Mark Mulligan preview show! 6pm-9pm...Hope to see you there.

Hey folks, I said on the radio a few weeks ago that I wasn't convinced there'd be a Shrimp Fest in October. Turns out I was right. I know there are tons of emails and publications out there saying October 8th. Even Russ announced it on the Ramblings. Nevertheless, there will be no Shrimp...

Okay folks, I spoke with the officer who oversees the SAGARPA office at the Sonoyta border crossing and he assures me that 3 turkeys per vehicle will be allowed into Mexico. The key here is that they must be in the original packaging and marked by the USDA. In addition to the turkeys, up to 15...
