  1. I thought they are not doing the emissions testing until further notice when Jalisco will publicize a list of authorized garages. Has this changed and if so, when are we to have it done?
  2. In my last and also in current house I had an electrician install the fans. My female godchild installed the one I had up north. She was not an electrician, read the installation instructions. Oh, and my neighbor across the street had hers done by the handyman.
  3. The lirios has been in the lake since last rainy season. There is so much at the San Antonio malecon, the reporter had pictures of them cleaning some of it away to the fishermen could get to their boats. I drove down there the other day and watched while one of the fishermen waded in the lake and was scooping the lirios out. He was creating a path so he could bring his boat in. A second note, Accuweather is predicting a chance of rain for today and overcast and chance of thunderstorms every day up to the 6th of June. Does this mean an early rainy season? I hope so.
  4. seeing someone's postings? I have done it in the past, but can't remember how. So sick and tired of the whining.
  5. I believe the international agreements between the three countries allows visitors to drive their cars over the border. I know that whenever I crossed into Canada with my car I was never asked about the car at all. Canadians freely drive their cars into Mexico all the time, this would not be the case if the two countries did not have a policy on this, it also applies to drivers licences. The important thing, of course, would to have the correct insurance in case of an accident. People from the US can have American insurance, I do not know about Mexican. Mexican insurance in NG in the US and the US insurance is NG in Mexico, would check with Canadian laws about this.
  6. The Mexicans live and die with pesos, not USD.
  7. Ilox is in SAT, I have the wires and the box on the pole by my house, just waiting for the installers to come.
  8. Yes, the Haack Foundation is the name I could not remember.
  9. If an animal is being abused it is absolutely necessary to "interfere". People around the world "interfere" and save the lives of animals all the time. Reporting this is not "interfering", interfering is when others tell you not to do anything about animal abuse and torture, which sometimes leading to painful deaths. This person asked for assistance not condemnation for caring.
  10. No, not either of these, it was before Geoffrey although he was involved, as were Diane Hazen, Gudrun Jones and a few others who still volunteer. I believe it was named after a man and cannot remember what it was.
  11. " Mexican friends, they tell me 'it's the culture'...." That does not make it right, it is "the culture" in Muslim countries to stone a woman to death because she has been raped, doesn't make it right. This situation needs to be reported and dealt with, the animal abuse laws in Jalisco have gotten stronger over the years. Please call the number and get some help for this animal.
  12. I had biodegradable plastic bag in my kitchen container and it degraded before I could take it out. I needed to use a regular plastic bag for that other bag and the trash. The have alternate containers for the take out already for years, it has just not been used by many. I have dogs and use a plastic bag in a bucket which I can take out and then seal. I guess in the future I will need to put the fecal matter directly in the bucket and they will have to dump it (eww) into the truck? Then I will need to wash it our each time? Gross. I also feel sorry already for the garbage men. The same will be for the kitchen garbage and what is one to use when taking the dog for a walk and there are no more small plastic bags to pick up the poop?
  13. New name of Scallion up and restaurant busy when I passed earlier.
  14. It is still going, sorry this is a FB link, best I can do https://www.facebook.com/dane.strom.1?fref=hovercard&hc_location=none&__tn__=%2CdlCH-R-R A little while ago in Ajijic. Bring donations of bottled water and "sueros" (Electrolit, Powerade-type electrolyte drinks, etc.) to the delgación at the Ajijic plaza (map in comments) for the firefighters and volunteers fighting this fire. A little while ago on the hill of ajijic. It takes donations of bottled water and serums to the delgación of ajijic for firefighters and volunteers who will build this fire. // A little while ago in Ajijic.

  15. The helicopter made many trips over quite a few hours. It took some time to travel each way, I really expected it to go faster. I saw the flames last night before I went to bed but the fire was no longer on this side in the morning. At least that I could see.
  16. On the other side of the ridge, helicopters have been working for hours getting water from the lake.

  18. Hmm . . . . when I spoke with him earlier he said yes it is in the nursery.
  19. Are they in the nursery?
  20. One needn't give one's address, just phone #.
  21. I agree and always say, "Senior dogs for Seniors". Now worry about training, being underfoot and tripping or outliving one for years and years. Adopt and give a Senior Dog some love for the last years and it will give much back.
  22. I thought someone who will be back from the states in two weeks said he wanted them?
  23. I did say the majority of expats. We have expats from all over the world here, not just the US. I have to think most would not go into a restaurant in their home countries dressed like they are going to work in the back forty.
