  3. I'm pretty sure that the Municipal police and the Public Security Department of Chapala are 2 separate departments. The local "police" - including the "transitos" are the first responders. The Public Security Department of Chapala are the investigators that follow up on crimes that have taken place.
  4. The following was posted on a local Facebook page last night: (https://www.facebook.com/groups/489404111478774/?hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen&multi_permalinks=1975556289530208) "Starting today, Tuesday, March 19, 2024, starting at 8:00 p.m., the entire Municipal Public Security Department of Chapala Jalisco will be working undpaer protest. But we will be attending to reports and any emergency that occurs in the only units that are in optimal conditions, safeguarding the well-being of the Chapalenses at all times. This, due to the lack of seriousness and concern shown by the authorities of our municipality. By failing to give us a response to the request that we formally requested from the Interim President. Lic. Gamaliel Soto. Where we made public the abuses, misconduct, harassment and harassment that we have been suffering from the Director of Public Security Alfredo Ulloa. And where we request his dismissal as commissioner. We were given a deadline to resolve this issue being today. But so far we don't have an answer. Denoting a total lack of concern for the very important issue of the working conditions of the entire Public Security department of the municipality. Who in turn serve all citizens. It is for this reason that we want to make public our position regarding the lack of support from the authorities who are supposed to ensure the good of the citizens and their workers. We regret the inconvenience that the current situation may cause you and we remind you that we are only asking for decent treatment and the necessary equipment to be able to serve you in a better way. Sincerely: The Public Security Department of Chapala, Jalisco."
  5. The following was published in the local OJO magazine in 2014: By Morgan Bedford January 2014 https://www.chapala.com/elojo/139-articles-2014/january-2014/2350-masonic-influence-on-mexico Would you believe that Free Mason Benito Juárez was the one who decapitated the Catholic Church’s control with his Reform Laws of 1859? Would you believe that Masonic Lodge Member and Free Mason Benito Juarez would become President of Mexico in 1861? Or that Mexico did not have another great president until almost a hundred years later, with the election of Free Mason Lazaro Cardenas? But before going further into the fascinating history of the Mason in Mexico, let’s find out who these mysterious Masons are and what they stand for. A Mason is obliged to obey all moral law and believe in one supreme power. Atheists and agnostics need not apply. Free Masonary is open to men of different religions. Jews were in fact admitted not long after 1723, in the earliest days of Free Masonry. It is not necessary here to discuss initiations and recognition signals among the Masonic order, but to simply say that Nazis surpressed Free Masonry and to this day membership in the order remains illegal in many former communist countries. It is clear that the Masons, or builders, who term God “The Master Architect,” were Masters of their craft and no building has ever been constructed without a Master Mason. No one knows for sure, however, when the Mason´s order developed its religious overtones but there were rituals for initiation and legends connected with Hiram, Soloman¹s master mason. In John Huston’s great film of the Kipling classic, The Man Who Would Be King, the Masonic Emblem that Sean Connery is wearing (purportedly left behind by a tribe once allied with Alexander The Great) saves his life. There are Masonic manuscripts preserved in the British Museum dated 1390 but the first formal merging of many types of Lodges occurred in England in 1717. Shortly thereafter, the first lodge was founded in Mexico City. The Spanish Inquisition started in Mexico in 1738 and by 1796, they had destroyed the Masons in Mexico. Free Masonery is still condemned in many Catholic-controlled countries, although an inquisition seems a rather strenuous way to express one´s views. In 1825, American Ambassador Joel Poinsett (whose name the Poinsettia flower carries) founded five lodges in Mexico with the authorization of the Grand Lodge of New York. There was little agreement between the older Scottish Rites so in 1826 the National Mexican Rite was formed. Over the next 120 years, the Masons kept a relatively firm political grip on Mexico. The Masonic Presidents included Guerrero, Pedroza, General Bustamente, Santa Anna, Farias, Gil and Sales who reinstated the Constitution of 1824. Between February of 1857 and 1859, the new Constitution was put into effect by Juárez and the Catholic Church was out. The church then petitioned the European powers for help. Maximillian was the result. By 1868, Maximillian was with his maker though his wife Carlotta lived until 1927, finally dying in a mental asylum in Belgium. Thus the enlightened hand of the Mason fell on Mexico. Absolute freedom of the press was instituted, along with the abolishment of all privileges of the clergy. Other measures struck hard at laws attributed to the clergy in respect to civil business; betterment of the moral state of the country came about with the elimination of the monopoly of the clergy in public education; finally, capital punishment for all so-called political transgressions was done away with. Nowhere, through revolution and inquisition, war and invasion, has Free Masonery had a greater positive impact than on Mexico and its people.
  6. Rich has just contacted me with this message: " I don't use voice mail.. the best way to reach me is via text message on whatsapp or messenger or phone text or Gmail. I am extremely busy due to the shaw situation so am unable to respond right away. Currently have a waiting list of people to see as soon as I can" Glad he's well and still around.....

  10. There is a used appliance dealer on the Liebramiento - between the Laguna Mall and the gas station - west side of the road. He has all sorts of appliances in their front yard.
  11. My source is Mario Jimenez from Ajijic Electronics when I asked him yesterday. His email reply: "This time nothing we can do. Shaw Rogers stop transmiring on this satellite, nobady can get signal in Mexico." '
  12. As of late yesterday afternoon..... I can't receive ANY signal from SHAW. Anyone else getting reception ?
  13. I phoned Mario at Michael Merryman's Ajijic Electronics about my disappearing channels. He made the following suggestion below. It does seem to work to restore most if not all of the missing channels. We have to do it several times a day and for each channel that we want to watch but it is a good work-around. Try it.... "Push in your Shaw remote the next sequence of buttons: Options – then1122, then select with right arrow X8L, then enter then exit. If you don’t get the channel, push channel up and then down. and for sure you will get the image other wise call to the office. 376 766 1117 Cheers Mario"
  14. Were still OK in Chula Vista. We did loose some channels a few days ago tho....
  15. Here is an online article titled "Is Temu Legit & How Do They Make Money?" Is Temu Legit & How Do They Make Money? I personally trust the Troypoint web page but will leave it up to the reader to decide.

  20. Speaking of Shaw firmware updates (automatic downloads), this morning when I got up early, I noticed that the light on my Shaw receiver was flashing on and off. I turned on the TV and saw this on screen: I turned the TV back off and after 10 minutes, noticed that the light stopped flashing. I turned everything (TV and Shaw box) back on and the TV appeared normal. I guess the Shaw box automatically updated itself overnight. Who would have known unless you saw the flashing light overnight.
  21. This past weekend my Shaw receiver did an automatic firmware upgrade that lasted over 3 - 4 hours. No TV available during the 3 hour download. No problem since......
  22. I just checked with the Ajijic Recycle Centre and they will recycle microwaves.
  23. Thanks one and all...... I too have learned about the timing of posting. Not before my 2nd. coffee in the morning or after my 2nd. rum and coke in the late afternoon. I have checked Walmart, Soriana, Costco and Amazon and buy a new one for 2500 pesos. In the sober light of day, it makes more sense to replace it.
