HOT OFF THE PRESS ! The East Cape Guild's new cookbook "East Cape Cooks and Amigos" is now available at El Toro y La Luna, Francine's office, Homes and Land of Baja, and Caleb's Cafe. This new edition is a collection of favorite recipes from the wonderful cooks in Baja and their friends and family. Many of the local Mexican cooks were also kind enough to share some of their favorites. Offered at $15.00 per book, it makes a great gift or addition to any cooks library. All profits support the educational scholarships awarded by the East Cape Guild each year. Contact Kay Barbour for more information (142-8097)
=============================================

PROPERTY TAX

a. In response to paying taxes online: Your tax file number is included in your receipt. It's the first four digits in the "Numero de referencia". Also before you make your payment, you can notify your Visa or Mastercard Security Dept. and the card issuing bank card fraud dept. and request that they monitor the transaction. You can also, especially if you are making out of country transactions, request that no foreign transactions be allowed without first confirming those charges with you via telephone. The only reason for getting ripped off is your own negligence. The best security protection for your charge cards is to have a new account number/card issued every six months. This might seem like a hassle if you have a lot of autopay accounts. I do. And, it takes me less than an hour to register the new account numbers. After twenty-four hours, you can access your property tax account and print out an additional receipt showing no tax due. As for having problems: Two tips (1) Don't put in your clave catastral number. Enter your Folio Number instead. Put a dot in Suburbano. If your property is in Los Barriles, that is what it says on your last years tax receipt. (2) To get to the site, click on the small box on the upper right side, not the large one in the middle of the page. You may have to try a few times on different days to get through.....be patient. This is Mexico for God's Sake. I have huge problems in the US dealing with the government. Try to get the IRS on the phone on any given day. Good luck.


b. My experience seems to be legitimate, but the proof will be when I walk into the office in La Paz this December and ask for an official stamped receipt that taxes were in fact paid. What I can tell those that are interested at this point is:
1. My card was charged the amount shown on the web-site and converted into USD at a favorable rate.
2. I received both a pop-up window receipt, as well as one in my email.
3. When I log back onto the site with my tax information the site displays a message that says "This account has been paid."
4. I called my credit card, and in the month since tax payment there have been no denied, or suspicious charges from Mexico, or anywhere else.
I will post the results of my visit in January when I return to the US. At this point, I am cautiously optimistic, and in the end perhaps out $150 if things turn sour. I would assume my card would cover that expense in the end, it needed.
Best,
Eric

I am looking for Sven Wagner, a friend, on a 30 ft. Ericson sailboat name “TRILODY”. He was anchored off Los Frailes, BCS, beginning September until about 19 September. He befriended Mac, from San Diego, who is taking care of an expensive house on the beach. Mac would be the person who knows what happened to Sven, or when he left and where he went. Sven is German, 6’-3” tall, mid-forties. Walter Buchanan 619-791-9502 walter.buchanan@cox.net

==============================================

     Hello everyone. This is Bruce from HOPEtels.org , the Casitas in Mulege, and the casitas in Santa Fe NM. www.casitas.net.  I use a pretty sophisticated wireless signal in Santa Fe that allows me to cover two square city blocks which include about 60 guest rooms with three internet accounts. For those of you living in RV parks, compounds, villages, etc. I can do the same thing. I just need one or two telmex high speed internet accounts and I can spread the signal out all over the park. If you are familiar with the Orchards Vacation Village in Mulege I will be doing the same thing there too. No more walking to your neighbors, no more $ 50 a month for internet, it's all shared and it works all over the park, AND I can run a hard wire from an antenna to your computer which make SKYPE work 100 percent better.
     I can also beam internet for miles, so if you are in a town that does not have internet, but there is another town within 10 miles that DOES have internet we might be able to work something out.
     Mulege is a perfect spot because there is a big hill on the side of town which will allow me to beam a signal to a town like Punta Chivato.
Email casitas@swcp.com  if you are interested.

QUESTIONS

a. Well! Our mail forwarding service in San Ysidro has bounced a couple of packages of Meds. When we called, we were told that now only books and CD's/DVD's will be forwarded as packages. This is not good, and the cost of the box is outrageous to begin with. Has anyone encountered this? Has anyone resolved anything? Please let me know and if you want me to post your response. Thanks.............Bill and Kay Barbour

b. Does anyone know if the road construction south of Ensenada is happening 7 days a week? Is it a little faster on Sundays through there or should we just expect an addition 2-3 hours South this year? Also, because of the slow down, are the hotels north of El Rosario harder to get into this fall and if so, does anyone have the current phone numbers for the Baja Cactus Hotel? Thanks. tahoartisit@yahoo.com
