USA citizens… Time to register to vote all. I believe you may need to do this every year. To get an absentee ballot and register states have different requirements, for me with Nevada I have to have it in by October 14. I also was lucky Nevada I could send it by email vs. mailing it. And Nevada allows me to vote with an online download and email it in when we vote.
Here is the general federal site that allows you to fill out the form online and then mail it, or as I did email which I went to my county to find the email address to mail it to.

I've received two calls in the past two days from people pretending to be from Microsoft. They explained to me that they have information that my computer has been hacked. I must admit, I'm having a lot of fun with them. Beware, these guys are pretty good. Most have day jobs providing tech support at legitimate call centers. They earn extra money operating these scams. The easiest way to tell you're being scammed, the phone will ring and you will hear the phone ringing back the calling party to let them know that there is a live person on the phone. They have software that dials hundreds of phones but will terminate the calls unless someone answers. Remember Microsoft will not call you!!! The callers are after your money!!!

Speaking of Viruses, it's time to review what you have on your computer. Microsoft offers a very good free anti-virus program called Security Essentials in Windows 7 and Defender in Windows 8. I use that program exclusively and I go places you should never venture on the web. Of course, behavior on the web can get you in trouble. No matter how good your anti-virus program is, if you have a teenager using the computer, you stand a good chance of getting a virus. The best plan with Mac's and PC's for teens is to create a limited user account for them. They can't download any harmful programs without the administrator password. Yep, some Moms have surrendered and given it up – not good! There are paid anti-virus programs out there such as Nod32 from Eset.com which are very good and don't slow down the operation of your computer. Norton and McAfee will slowdown your computer. I like free and have used Microsoft's programs for the past 5 years – free with free updates.

Mac's are no longer immune from Malware. The number of cases are on the rise and the financial incentive grows. Teens are also very good at infecting Macs. Be careful which software you download and make sure it's a trusted site. Cnet is no longer a trusted site.  Cnet subed out the download portion of their web site to a company that loves to install malware.

If your computer is five years old, there is a good chance you could see a hard drive failure. In most cases it will fail without warning. You need a back-up strategy. Mozy and Carbonite are two very good solutions for backing up those valuable photos and documents. Both work in the background with no detriment to daily operation. The initial backup takes sometime, so leave the computer on and connected to the web for a couple of nights to get through that initial backup. After that, those programs will only update changes that you have made. You can access your files on line even if you are on another computer. I use external hard drives as well but there is a huge piece of mind having one copy in the cloud. A very famous author had just finished a new novel. Someone stole his laptop and backup hard drive. Don't let that happen to you!

Phone 'scammers' are still working the lines trying to lure in people to send money to them.  They pose as a 'friend or relative'.  Don't fall for this, be vigilant.

A big "Thank You!" from the Desert Hawks Rescue Group in El Rosario - We would like to thank the BajaNomad community for their support in helping our non-profit rescue group in El Rosario: the Desert Hawks. We started serving our community and travelers in this area in March 2013. So far we have responded to 136 emergencies and helped out almost 400 individuals with rescue and transport. Out of these emergencies, 96% have been car crash and/or rollovers along Highway 1 and out of these 136 events, 23 involved US citizens traveling along Highway 1 and, thanks in part to all of you, the Halcones del Desierto Grupo de Rescate  have always been there, ready to help.

BajaNomads have been supporting our cause, sometimes sending us donations via the Internet, others by sending materials with friends and/or by stopping at BajaCactus and donating something in person, every little helps out. Since last year we have received a little over $1,000 dollars and we have put every penny to work directly into helping others... Thank you!!!

Now, the Desert Hawks are preparing to create a Volunteer Fire and Rescue Group. An extension of our group with much needed services in these area, specially the vehicle extrication part. We are in the middle of getting a fire engine donated. Also we just received some items donated from Care Convoy, a non profit organization managed by Todd Jaynes in Jerome, Idaho, who was aware of our efforts and sent some help to start giving life to this new project.

If there are any fireman out there any help and/or advice will be very much appreciated. In behalf of our rescue group and all our volunteers: Thank you so much for being part of our efforts... Together we can save lives! ☞ Antonio Muñoz, Desert Hawks Rescue Group,
