Yes Natasha you are right Bimbo is the way to go. Meanwhile Martin was vaccinated yesterday without a question bu Pedro was not  and although he had proof of residency, Jalisco drivwers license he was denied the vaccine because of his INE.  I was vaccinated in Chapala although I had an INE from CHiapas and was vaccinated in Chiapas for the second shot although the first shot was done in Jalisco so something changed or they put the geniuses at work this week..

Every official in government interprets the law /rules differently.  Maybe go to someone different and try again?

Lake Chapala is fed by the second largest river and watershed in Mexico.  The watershed is in 5 states.  When these watersheds begin to dry out we will have a lot of advanced warning.  And along that way, Guadalajara, the 2nd largest city in Mexico (HUGE political clout), which gets a large percent of its drinking water from Lake Chapala, will have something to say about the situation.  I wouldn`t keep up all night worrying about this.

There's water coming into the lake from a small river to the east so if there's heavy rains out there it's also water being added to the lake.

The "small" river is the Lerma, the second longest river in Mexico.  Almost all of our lake water comes down the Lerma.   Whatever water is deposited as rain directly into the lake is evaporated.

Thanks, this is exactly what I wanted.

Where can one go to get rainfall numbers for Lake Chapala?  Is there a good website for that?

Ok got this one I recorded tonight after a few seconds I zoomed in.  It recorded on my tablet.  

 

Perhaps this craft should adjust their stabilizers.  They must be sick to their stomachs in there.

Anyone seen UFO's in Lake area? I watch them every night. Looking for the lady who was at the Chapala Rotary first event and spoke to Jimmy Barto about coming to her house. She sees them go into and come out of the Lake, had invited him to view anytime. Would like to gather a group and discuss what everyone has seen.

I believe you saw an unidentified flying object.  People see them all the time.  The ones that bug me are the birds I can`t identify.  Once you identify it and take a picture of it and swear you haven`t uploaded it to a photo editing software, I`d love to see it.  But, otherwise, if you want me to believe there are spaceships flying into our Lake Chapala, noiselessly, you won`t find me with a willing ear.

No, they are yellow-chevroned parakeets.  Monk parakeets have a white front. The aforementioned are all green with a small amount of yellow at the front edge that is often difficult to see.  These have made huge communal nests in the eucalypts at what was called the Old Posada for so long.  They are several years old.  There are other populations of these birds in our area.  One group likes to hang out in Christiania Park in Chapala.

Sorry, would you mind specifying which town we're talking about here? I'm up to 2 non-working printers now and extremely frustrated.

Chapala.

Go to office on Revolution in Ajijic and ask your questions and fill out the papers.

Did you need to show residency papers or card to fill out the papers?

On Revolution you can't miss it.  On right side 50 feet from highway.

Thank you.

If you have a choice between iLox and TotalPlay, choose the latter. iLox customer service leaves a lot to be desired and the actual product is okay (not great). Ilox wifi truly sucks and, I believe, their voip phone still sucks too. I use Telmex landline and Telcel for phone service. Again, it depends on the choices available to you in your location...

I certainly would choose TotalPlay over Ilox but it seems it might be a long time before it get to Chapala.  I can try Ilox now and when TP comes to Chapala I probably would switch.

I have a Brother HL 5140 laser printer (black and white only) which I have been using for many years. It has developed a problem and I am looking for a local, Chapala area, person who is good with repairing old printers. Any recommendations?

Chavo at Ruth Papeleria on the corner of Privada Degollado and Flavio Romero is a highly dedicated printer specialist.  My printer has been under his care for a couple of years and there is nothing he can`t fix on it.  And his fees are very reasonable.  Tell him Brad sent ya!

There are 2 Ruth Papelerias in Chapala.  Don`t go to the one at Privada Degollada and Miguel Martinez!

Ilox people installed their cable on my street yesterday.

I know there are a lot of discussions involving Ilox on Chapala.com but I did not find what I needed.  So, I ask, What is the best way to initiate Ilox fiber optics? 

What is the best phone number to use to contact someone there for installation?

Is it best to let Ilox put in their modem or is there another that is the best one to buy?  Should I purchase a router?

Is there a best person to approach in Ilox? 

If so, do you know how to contact this person?

Is there anything else, due to your experience, that you would have wanted to know in the beginning of getting Ilox installed that you know now?

Thank you.

Does anybody know when iLox will make it to Chapala Centro?

They installed Ilox cable on my street, Acapulco, today. Technically, this is Centro but it`s 6 blocks away from the plaza.

Where can paint or primer for metal be obtained?

Is the LCS Library open these days?

Not until October will private companies Worldwide be able to purchase vaccines as regulated by WHO because Covid-19 is officially a Worldwide pandemic. If you are ofered one in Mexico for $1,500 pesos it will be saline solution. 

Thanks, Alan.  Guess I have enough salt in my diet as it is!

Is it possible to pay for a vaccine here?  Where can one go to do that?

I believe he is using the nests for an art or craft project- he isn't trying to keep wasps away.

Thank you, mudgirl, quite right.

I need a couple globe-shaped paper wasp nests (vacated) that the little black wasps make.  Does anyone have 1 or 2 I could come retrieve?  Thank you.

After finding parking place (fair distance) , bum in seat (middle section of the last outside tent) at 9:38. People circulating to check  right docs, and if not sending them to another line where all could be rectified. I had mine.  Water,   lonches and fruit being handed out(breakfast time for Mexicans). Soon a whole group were taken inside the park. People moved forward.  One group later and we moved up to front, where seats were now 5 wide instead of 7 or 8. Was  soon obvious.... 100 being taken inside at a time. My row was 19 😁

 

What were the "right docs" needed?

There is no remedy that works universally all the time to stop cutter ants.  Every remedy works for a while then no longer works.  Cutter ants target a plant one year then the next year one they haven`t touched for years.  They will not touch the orange tree in one yard but decimate the one next door. There are things you can do for specific trees like putting Joker Rojo around the bottom of the stem or trunk.  Ants stick to this and quickly learn they can`t go over it - until they learn to put a stem of grass across the goo.  Putting rice near an entrance to a new home will kill the ants for a while, then it won`t.  Otherwise you just learn to deal with losing a tree, a bush or half the plants in your yard.  Then you replace these with plants they don`t touch like cactus. In other words, you learn humility.  Of course, it`s always amusing to trade stories about the exploits of cutter ants, the lords of our land.
