Note:#1 Please, keep your notices short and to the
point. The majority will not read long, laborious postings, so why
do it? If your business or group has a website, use it! The BPE
should be a 3-4 minute read especially since I am sending out 5-6 a
week now. Help me to keep the BajaPonyExpress fresh and interesting
so everyone will look forward to it and READ it. I realize there are
a few instances where one paragraph (10 lines or so) won't cut it
and that certainly is OK if the notice sticks to the facts and
leaves out the adjectives. In the future, I will return rambling
postings and ask that the writer do some editing. Motto #2: KISSS=KeeptItShorSweetSimple
Note#2: The banks will be closed Nov 2nd and Nov 16th. I
don't know what Government offices will be closed.
Maybe if someone has info they can post it.
Note#3: United States and Canada go off Day Light Saving Time
tomorrow, Sunday, Nov. 1st.
Note#4: A great website for events La Paz is:
http://www.rozinlapaz.com/rozinlapaz/Home.html
Note#5: Tonight's BPE, in my opinion, is perfect!

==================================
Dish Subscribers: Those with HD Receivers and have an account with
All America Direct for Distant Networks, you will not be able to
switch to the LA or Chicago High Definition programming. The
satellite being used to transmit these channels is 110 and
transponder 17. We are not able pull in 17 from Baja Sur even with
an eight foot dish. I explained the problem to them and they are now
aware of our problem, I suggested they put a note on the AAD website
regarding the satellite necessary to have the HD service to save
lots of needless phone calls from customers a bit South. We can hope
they will sometime in the future be placed on a different satellite
or transponder. The Satellite Guy.
============================
My summer was one of bad news / good news. We traveled to Oregon in
July, and I went to my regularly scheduled medical appointments,
including a mammogram. The bad news was that the mammogram showed a
questionable spot, and a subsequent mammogram and an ultrasound
confirmed that there was a small lump that shouldn’t be there. What
followed were various doctor appointments, a needle biopsy, a
lumpectomy, and four weeks of radiation, which ended shortly before
we returned to Baja this fall.
The good news was that our Bupa Medical Insurance, purchased through
Char Wenger at AmeriMed here in Los Barriles, covered ALL charges
except for the first $2000 deductible. We had purchased a Bupa
Critical Care medical plan last December, and even though most of my
medical providers had never heard of Bupa (the common comment when I
turned over my card was “I’ve never seen this one before!”), Bupa
came through in a timely manner. Since I figured that all of the
procedures added up to around $35000, buying the policy was money
well spent. Our policy, for both of us, cost just under $1800 for
one year. I was also easily able to keep track of some of the claims
on an online site, and could telephone whenever I had questions. You
can be sure I’ve already renewed for next year!
This insurance can be issued to residents of Latin America who are
at least 18 year old and not older than 74 years old, where the
Insured resides the majority of any calendar or policy year; or
where the Insured has resided more than one hundred eighty
continuous days during any 365 days (6 months out of the year).
Contact Char Wenger if you have more questions! cell 624-157-0081 or
