SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 2011  -  #1070

OK Team, we have to get back to some basics. This isn't working for me and so many want to push the envelope.  The reason the BPE works is because everyday it's fresh, new and a QUICK read.   I am working on a set of guide lines so everyone will be on the SAME page. Here is the first draft.
A.  Items on the Daily Calendar.  This IS the reminder.  You do not need to send in "reminders" every day for your event.  That's why I take the time to do the Calendar.   Be sure I didn't forget your event in the Calendar so check up on me.

B.  Businesses:  Once every two weeks unless it's a special event.  And I mean special.
    If you are a business then I suggest you have a web page or blog.   Include the link in your ad and invite  readers to go to your website or blog especially if you have lots to say.

C.  Real Estate:  Once every two weeks.  (I must say, this group has been very respectful)

D.  Not Wanted:  If your ad is more than two lines long then take the time to learn Craig's List.  There you can tell your whole life's story.  Include the link in your ad.   www.craigslist.com

I hope I don't sound too grumpy!!

I sent a note to Mr. Garcia who works in the tourist bureau in La Paz.  I gave him the article of the couple who were taken for 200 pesos in Constitution.  Here is his reply.  George Hain

Sorry for your bad experiences.
It is imperative that you make a formal complaint with clear information. Date and time it happened, streets or location and chRacteristics of the officer. As in any other city and country, all patrol cars have a number on them, that is too very important. With this, we can find out who it is and even send you a picture of the officer via email for your confirmed recognition.

If we don't have the complaint it ends up in gossip and goes nowhere.
Please spread the word and send us your formal complaints.

East Capers Anthology

Okay, so you left Los Barriles and forgot to get your copy of the East Capers Anthology. Do not despair! You can get a copy from Amazon.com. Go to http://www.amazon.com/East-Capers-Tenth-Anniversary-Anthology/dp/1460913809/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1302926392&sr=1-1

If you haven’t left yet, there are some copies available at Baja Beach Company, Plaza del Pueblo in Los Barriles and at Baja Books & Maps located just across the arroyo from Centro San Jose accessed by the new bridge to La Playita and Puerto Los Cabos.

Since 2000, the East Capers bi-monthly newspaper has been featuring articles about the culture and history of Baja California and the East Cape region. This anthology will give the reader an understanding and appreciation of Baja California Sur and a clue into why so many people call the East Cape “magic.” The anthology is a great gift for some who may not be familiar with the area.

All proceeds from the sale of this book will be used by the Asociación de Artes to bring the arts to local communities and schools.

b.  The world's aquarium that is our Sea of Cortez continues to prove why Jacques Cousteau gave it this distinguished title, especially since the waters warmed with a spring flurry. Twice in just the past two weeks our guests have seen the incredible ‘Ocean Sunfish’, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_sunfish the world’s largest and heaviest fish with adults weighing an average of 2,200 pounds – the largest one caught off Australia weighed 3,500 pounds! Native to temperate, tropical waters, they look like a ginormous fish head with a tail which has been flattened like a pancake before being turned upright and with it's fins on the sides. They are as tall as they are long when their dorsal and ventral fins are extended and  thought to live much of their lives at great depths, coming  to the surface to bask and warm their huge ‘headbodies’.  It was this surface basking that provided our guests such a unique and exceptional Sunfish sighting. Unique in all ways, female Sunfish produce more eggs than any other known vertebrate and lucky for us, their diet consists mainly of jellyfish! They are known in the science world as the ‘Common Mola’, but after seeing this unbelievably unique fish perhaps it should be changed to ‘Holy Mola’! For more, see the ‘Wikipedia’ link. The Sea of Cortez...get On it! From Theresa at Awesome Sportfishing & Whale Watching Coast Cruise combertheresa@hotmail.com
