Cathie Ward, the heart and soul of Punta Pescadero left on her final journey yesterday morning. She left from the home she loved in Punta. We all greatly miss her but with such fond memories.
As a side note the authorities were incredible kind and helpful. Many thanks to them for easing a difficult situation.
It is so hard to write this.

FIDO ALERT!
There have been two dogs without collars running around the Spa. One is a big long-haired Sheppard, the other a young skinny short-haired male which is brown with white paws and a white chest. The small one has worked his way into my yard and is not eager to leave. If he is yours please come get him. If not, I need a contact with ALMA. Thanks. 141-0603 or wadeinthewater2@aol.com

GAS STATION

a. THE NEW GAS STATION
Operating 2 fishing cruisers and 3 pangas we buy a lot of fuel. Recently there has been 2 occasions I was distracted and accidentally gave the attendant to much cash (one time a 1,000 pesos). Both times the attendant returned the money and explained that I had over paid. I can't say someone else didn't get ripped off but I do lots of transactions and have never had a bad experience. The attendants (bomberos) work very hard in the hot weather all day for a very low wage. I always give them a gratuity for the good service.

b. In response to recent posts about attempts to pull the 500/50 peso scam by pump operators at the newer LB Pemex, I'd like to report a recent experience of the exact opposite. At the same Pemex, on the north side of Los Barriles, an attendant filled my tank for just under 150 pesos. In a state of heat-dazed exhaustion, having just driven from the airport, I proffered three 500 peso notes. (Duh!) The attendant very politely declined to accept them and pointed out that I was giving him 10 times too much. Needless to say, I was (and am) extremely grateful. Of course, you can meet a bad actor anywhere and should always check your change. But based on the above experience, I will definitely continue to buy gas at that Pemex.

PROTECTION

a. I recently read an article about using wasp spray for home and self protection. It shoots up to 20-30 feet. It temporarily blinds the person until they can get medical help for an antidote.

b. I was just reading Donna and Woody's incident, it is horrible! I don't have an alarm system but thought we could also use the panic button on the car remote. We always keep ours in the house, it would be available and it makes a lot of noise. Just a thought.
