My precinct in Seattle, Washington is very good about sending me my ballot for 21 years.

I forgot to say I am in Upper Ajijic.

At my house it was a delightful light rain, preceded by thunder and lightning.  It was just enough to give everything a watering.   

All doctors would treat allergies.   Are you looking for a specialist?

I had no problem with Netflix last night

I went to the Recaudadora this morning.   I arrived at 9:10 AM.   Three people behind the counter were helping.  I waited a few minutes and gave the man behind counter #1 my Tarjeta de Circulacion and $756.  Done and received my Validacion de Pagos.  Next, I gave him the license plate number and names of two Mexican friends. All of this took less than 10 minutes.

That goes without saying Ibarrra.  I have been doing this for 21 years.  I think by now I know how things work.  The form was filled out this morning but nothing happened when I hit enter.  I tried twice.  I assume the information is not yet available online. I like to check in case I have a traffic ticket which means the cost will be more.  Several years ago I was paying my tax and the agent told me  I had a traffic ticket.  I had received nothing in the mail, but fortunately, I had sufficient money to cover the ticket cost.  This is why I now check before I go to pay.

I did not hear anything in Upper Ajijic

All is well on my SHAW at 9:25 AM

Your car information is all on the Tarjeta de Circulacion which you always carry with you.

I just tried finding out the information on my license cost but there was no response.

How many of you old timers can remember when we wanted to refill our gas tanks we had to drive out almost to San Nicholas?  Eventually, we turned left onto a dirt road and drove some distance back.  When you got to the place you carried your tank onto a field to where the tanks were filled.  After filling they are very heavy and I remember it was not easy carrying it back to the car. I could not do that now.  I remember going out there twice before the Z-Gas place on Revolucion opened.

Sorry, but I was trying to give simple driving directions for those who do not know where Colibri Garden Cafe and Bakery is Located.....

There is a place just outside of Chapala but I am not sure I can explain where it is. If you know where the cemetery is in Chapla let's start there.  Go down the road that goes past the cemetery to the lake.  Turn left on the lake highway.  It is a little distance from where you turn on the left side. ..   Just past restaurant, etc. at that intersection.

I wondered if any of the doctors' offices offered the vaccination.

I asked a Mexican friend for his take on this.   Here is his reply.

The reason why they were taking the motorcycles away is because they are used in drug dealing.  Police were also having check points to detect that that's why they chased this vehicle where they found drugs, money and weapons.  The 2 bad guys n the car fled and escaped.

It appears that all of the surveillance cameras were taken down.  The suspect is the cartel.  There were 7 police at the Walmart intersection when I went through a short while ago (11:45).  There are two polls down that I know of.  One on the carretera at La Florest at the statue and one at Revolucion and the carretera.   Whatever, we should probably be careful.  The original information came to me by a Mexican friend.

Does Kiwisat require a new satellite dish?  What replaces the SHAW HDMI Receiver?

So far I have not had problems.  I have used SHAW since 2003.  I cannot imagine being without SHAW

This looks like good news...

Probably any doctor's office or the hospital.

My gardeners receive an Aguinaldo as specified by law.  My garbage men receive a bonus for their surface.
