about the plates for cars on weekends,
we bought one of those plates for my car 2 years ago but,
when I drive to Los Cabos,
the federal police stop me and they want to confiscate my car they say it is illegal,
because was not imported,
they say this organization is just CIVIL ASSOSIATIONS,
and have nothing to do with the federal government,
well.. after speaking for more than 2 hours they let me go,
only after they see my insurance policy from USA.
no fine, nothing but please be VERY CAREFUL...
after that we don`t use those plates anymore. (unsigned)

Heidi wants time with horses. Is there anyone out there who has a horse who would like to teach her once a week about grooming and feeding and riding? She loves horses and I'm not a horse person, so I'm trying to hook her up with someone who is. (Or, I'm open to other suggestions). Thanks, Camilla bajacamilla@yahoo.com,  or 142-8079.

We recently received our bill from CFE for the period September 1-November 1, 2009. We have a house in Lighthouse Point estates, near La Ribera. We were stunned at the amount of the bill, as it was approximately double the period before, with virtually no change in usage. Has anyone else experienced this huge increase, and is there some explanation. I have heard about Calderon firing the union workers, and wonder if that action has somehow impacted the cost of electricity to customers. Any insight would be much appreciated. Andy Keehn

An awesome report on the Sea of Cortez! Did you hear about the 383-pound winning tuna caught off the Gordo Banks last week by Oscar Daccarett* during the Western Outdoor News Tuna Tournament http://www.wonews.com/Blog.aspx?id=780  the largest ever weighed in Cabo? With this as our lure and with visions of endless sashimi dancing in our minds, off we went south yesterday to chase down our luck.

When we arrived, some of our local fleet were there and it seemed like a big fun fishing party. After a bit of patience, the action started with a big bang and all rods bent and we were grabbing tuna, dorado, trigger fish, red snapper, crossed lines with a few loco needle fish. Then huge tuna began breaking the surface all around us, voraciously picking off the sardines we were pitching overboard. One gigantic tuna even hit the swim step in the fury when...tuuuunnnnnnaaaaa grande, gorgeous, almost spooled us and then fought hard - as they always will - for more than an hour. Deft boat handling and hand lining at the end of the figh to assure the line stayed away from the prop resulted in this absolutely astounding and impressive 80-pound fish finding its way into the boat. The tuna bite was followed up by more dorado, including a few on the fly rod, and we started the troll north and bang! picked up another big dorado. The sea wasn't as accommodating going home, but I was in my circle of delight sitting in the bridge and was just thinking things couldn't get better. And then it did! I saw an enormous splash in the distance, on the north side of the Cabo Pulmo Marine Preserve. We kept on the course for a close up and were astonished to be treated to an endless jumping, breaching, tail splashing, cavorting humpback whale event that knocked our socks off. And I thought the day couldn't get better...this truly is 'the world's aquarium', as Jacques Cousteau so aptly called it. The fishing rocks right now, the whales are on approach. If you'd like to join us for the best day possible on the water, please call 14-10231 or drop me an email at combertheresa@hotmail.com.  Awesome Sportfishing and Whale Watching Coast Cruises look forward to helping you enjoy our amazing Sea! (*Oscar, the owner of Natural Stone in San Jose, is the current Godfather of sportfishing in Southern Baja, a lucky fisherman as he also won money at this year's East Cape Bisbee and likely single handedly does more to protect the Sea of Cortez sportfishing industry than anyone.)

The whole body is represented in the feet. The feet represent the water energy, which goes
deep and seeks out the foundation of things. The feet are the most negative pole of the entire
body and because of this fact many negative energy blocks are found in the feet. The pain
and discomfort in this area could be manifesting or warning of chronic health conditions.
Sensitivity and pain on the feet are reflections of congestion in corresponding areas of
the body. By stimulating and reflexing certain points on your feet, the body can be restored to its
natural healthy state.

Now taking appointments starting December 16, 2009.
