Hurricane Jimena
a. a report from someone
in guerrero negro tonite driving south - the gas station on the
highway is out of gas - he has not checked in town....the road has
been empty and fine so far - he ran into a couple from here driving
north and hears there are no hold ups longer than a half hour -
mulege and santa rosalia being the worst hit....
b. I just talked with the
Parish Priest in Loreto and they have had power since Sunday along
with most of the Telmex lines and today the cel phones were working
again. He says they are not in dire need of help at present and
Constitution and San Carlos have been getting good Government
responses to their needs. The poor souls left out right now are in
Mulege. They are without everything. If any of you are looking for a
place to do some good I suggest trying Mulege. I also know the
Parish Priest there and his name is Father Daniel. I’m not certain
if the cel phones are working there yet but his number is
615-107-8114 and he speaks some English. If anyone is driving North
and could take some baggage, I have quite a few clothes to send.

c. Your attached report
of 9/8/09 has some inaccuracies as to the conditions in Loreto.
Can't speak to the other areas.
Just flew from Loreto to LAX (Horizon AL) Tues Sept 8th.
Commercial flights never stopped into LTO. Folks flew in and out
Tues 9/1/09, Friday 9/4/09 and Sunday 9/6/09.
LORETO:
Power restored by Saturday Sept 5th - cell phone service was up on
Friday Sept 4th. Fuel is available. Water: It was my understanding
that they were having issues with the water before the storm. Can't
speak to current water or land line phones at this time. Didn't go
into Loreto so can't speak to damage there.
TRIPUI/PUERTO ESCONDIDO:
The phones never went out in Tripui. Power was restored by Sat Sept
5th. Water was restored by Sunday 9/6 - they are on a different
water system than Loreto. Minor damage to roof tiles, lost some
trees and other battered vegetation. Lost some car/boat covers. No
structure damage to speak of - no broken windows, etc. No flooding
in the lower parking lot. Tripui weathered the storm pretty well -
all things considered. We were very lucky.

I am posting this because there may be people out there who are
looking to get a dog and are not aware of a place with over 69 dogs
and several cats that need homes here in Mexico. It is the saddest
thing to see these animals in cages just wanting to be adopted.
There is every size, look, color that anyone could imagine and if
you are looking for a dog I can't see how you wouldn't find it
there. It is the Cabo Humane Society just off the highway to Todos
Santos (right turn before the main entrance to downtown Cabo) on a
dirt road a little past C.C.C. and Sorianas. The place is clean and
very friendly but they have so many animals. If you or anyone you
know is considering adopting a pet please go there first. They have
a website at
http://humanesocietycabo.com that you can check out
or you can call 044 624 129-8346 and talk to Evaristo Castro who is
the manager and speaks english. Elizabeth F. Los Barriles

I just talked with an IRS Agent in the Voluntary Disclosure Branch
(510 637-1031) who was very knowledgeable about property ownership
in Mexico and the require process. I will be filing the Voluntary
Disclosure Paperwork by Sept 23. I just finished the process and
that took nearly an hour of my time start to finish. I needed the
IRS Form TDF 90-22.1 (available on the web) and a Personal
Disclosure Statement. Here are the addresses to send the completed
forms and statements:
TDF 90-22.1

The IRS agent and I concluded that no amended returns were necessary
since I received no income from the properties in Mexico. Seems
easier than the lawyers make it out to be.
