 It's
a breezy day, and as I sit here contemplating the waves, I find it nearly
incomprehensible that so large a body of water, as the Sea of Cortez, could ever
be completely calm. And maybe it can never be absolutey still, but it sure can
get close. Kim Barber Century 21 Sun & Sand Mx Cell -

I watched Mexico play Argentina in the
World Cup Soccer game this afternoon at Bryan's Sports Bar in Puerto Penasco,
Mexico. The people cheered, the coach prayed, but alas it wasn't enough,
Argentina eliminated Mexico 3-1.    Kim

The Secretariat of Communications and
Transportation (SCT in Spanish) will conduct a census poll on Highway 8 between
Sonoyta and Puerto Peñasco where motorist will be asked Origin-Destination
information on their trip and commercial vehicles will be weighed. The company
doing this work is conducting this poll on ALL Highways in the States of Sonora
and Chihuahua under contract from the Secretary. They had planned to
conduct this census from the 24th until 28th of May but because of the latest
incidents in the news, they have agreed to postpone it starting next Monday the
31st in the afternoon to set up equipment and the actual polling at 11:59 PM
until Friday June 4th at midnight. This is a 24 hour operation. Signs
will be placed one mile before the polling station and the personnel will be
wearing the proper highway vests and identification.

-If you're vacationing in an area where
you're concerned about the quality of local drinking water, don't forget that
ice is often made from just that. To avoid possible infection, pack a few
plastic ice cubes and keep them in your room refrigerator
freezer.
-Did you know, Listerine is an effective,
affordable mosquito repellant, put it in a spray bottle and spray wherever you
play!

Memorial Day weekend approaches and once again we take another hit in the
news. Here is a portion of an article that's been repeated all
over the internet about a story that’s been reported, as well, on television
news programs in the
US:
NOGALES (KGUN9-TV) - The U.S. Consulate in Nogales issued a "warden
message" - a warning - May 19 regarding travel to Puerto Penasco - Rocky Point -
Sonora, a popular weekend vacation spot.
Officials said there are unconfirmed reports that unauthorized
checkpoints have been set up at night along Highway 8, the main road to Rocky
Point, by "unknown persons at night."
The consulate "strongly" advises travelers who plan to drive on Highway 8
to travel only during daylight hours.
The announcement states: "At some checkpoints, motorists who have not
stopped at unofficial checkpoints have been shot at and killed." However, no
details on any shooting incidents was provided by the
consulate.
On May 25
business leaders in Penasco met with the director of Mexcico’s Federal Highway
Patrol, I’m happy to report he denied knowledge of any such occurances.
Local police chief Erick Landagaray said the Consulate had issued a
warning without a thread of truth. State and Federal Attorneys
General also said there is no basis to these claims.
Apparently the US consulate released unsubstantiated
information, in violation of their own policy and in the process is harming this
community, including about 100,000 US and Canadian citizens who enjoy living and
doing business here. Please tell your friends, it’s as safe here
as just about anywhere else, safer even than many places!

Puerto Mio is Under
Construction!
Construction has begun and they mean
business! Below is a shot I took just the other night, workmen burning the
midnight oil. If you haven't heard, Puerto Mio will be a hotel/convention
center, and home to theatres, restaurants and retailers. The city has responded
by committing to an upgrade of the Old Port, Mirador areas. Power lines will be
moved underground and roads repaved, and areas will be designated as pedestrian
only. Apparently they're hoping to be up and running by end of summer, if they
keep working those nights - they just might be!

If you have pets -
Warning!
Cocoa Mulch, sold by Target, Home Depot, and Foreman's Garden
Supply, among others, contains Theobromine which can be fatal to dogs. It is
manufactured by Hershey's, and apparently smells like chocolate. While
Hershey's admits it can be dangerous, they claim most dogs won't eat it. There
have apparently been fatalities however. So, if you use this particular mulch,
watch that your dog doesn't eat it.

Well the most exciting event to happen around here lately was of course
the Easter Sunday earthquake. At 7.2 it was the largest to hit Mexico since
2003, when a 7.6 struck offshore of Colina, killing 29 and leaving about 10,000
homeless. I'm glad to report that we fared much
better, it was even an interesting
experience.
I was on a sound, solid,
cement, 2nd floor patio, it was rocking like a rowboat. It took a moment to
realize I wasn't having bout of vertigo, a friend thought he was starting to
have a heart attack - you just don't expect that it's the building that's
moving, so your first reaction is to think you're about to have some kind of
health crisis.
Luckily there were no health crisis here, nor crisis
of any other kind. It seems the town and all the residents survived more or
less unscathed! Unfortunately the folks in Mexicali weren't so lucky.
