~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a result of the latest series of power fluxes and spikes,
I lost a hard drive. Yes,I took my own advice and it was
plugged into one of my fancy UPS (Uninterrupted Power
Supply) that is driven by it's own internal battery. The
problem was the internal battery indicated healthy but in
reality the internal battery was dead. When the power
fluxed, so did the hard drive in my Dish DVR VIP 722(digital
video recorder). The solution is to test the backup system
once or twice a year to make sure that it not only indicates
healthy buy also works in the real world. Now I hook-up a
light to the back of the backup system, unplug the backup
system from the wall and make sure that the light stays
illuminated. Replacement batteries can be purchased at
Radio Shack in La Paz and I suspect Steren as well. The
replacement batteries are cheaper here than in the US. Now
I have to watch commercials!!!!
If you have a laptop with a failed internal battery and
that laptop is running when a power outage occurs, your hard
drive may be in danger as well. Any time a hard drive
looses power during operation, you stand a chance of
failure. The read head can sling data across the platter.
There are programs to restore but they are expensive and
not very user friendly.
Remember one copy of your photos is not a backup. You
need two copies to qualify. That just got easier a couple
of days ago. Amazon is offering 5 gigs of free storage. www.amazon.com/clouddrive.
Follow the simple instructions and you can backup lots of
stuff for free. If you buy one album of music from them,
you get 20 gigs of storage. Storage is located at their
secure S3 site - their commercial storage facility. It is
https compliant which means, it is bullet proof. I'm
uploading my documents as we speak (you read).

=============================
Well it was a huge success as anticipated our latest
Dinner-Show event and I would like to thank all who
participated and especially all those that purchased dinner
tickets as we now hope during Easter vacation to put tile
floors in the restrooms of the school along with new sinks
and redo some stairs that are deteriorated and too small.
You have made this possible and we would like to thank you
again plus remember to look forward to next year’s event.
Muchas Gracias y hasta luego!

=====================
I need a few more story tellers for "True 'Baja' Stories"
night at Caleb's April 14th. Stories should be personal,
true, written and 6-8 minutes long when read aloud. We will
practise on April 13th. I know you have some good stories.
So, get off those bar stools and get to your computers and
WRITE THEM DOWN! I look forward to reading them.

==================================
It's happening again. today i fueled up my diesel at the
Pemex on the south end of Los Barriles (next to the
nursery). I paid in advance $300 pesos. The second i turned
on the pump it registered $46.00 pesos, even before i began
pumping. I told the attendant and he said no that was
impossible - and of course the pump stopped at $300 pesos,
so i wad robbed of $46 pesos. Just an FYI - perhaps insist
that the attendant pump for you and keep an eye on the
gauge.
Keep a keen eye open - i was hoodwinked.

ROAD
REPORTS
a. We crossed the border at Tecate on Thursday. It was
about noon and only 6 or 8 cars in line ahead of us and two
stations open, so a very brief time in line and gone.
Probably less than 20 minutes. Some construction between
Ensenada and Tecate, but detours were on new pavement, twice
with pilot cars. 6 military checkpoints, but only 3
inspections. The Pemex station just north of the monument at
Gro Negro was closed, but we were able to get gas at Jesus
Maria about 20 miles north. So if you plan to gas up in that
vicinity there are 2 stations at Viscaino. Thankfully no
stops by any police officers!! Patti & Jene Winn
FISHING UPDATES - Finally, a place for our
locals to brag and keep us informed!
a. Answer to my fish question
 :
Your readers may not understand about ‘fishing’. We don’t
often have periods like the one we are having now when the
joy of ‘fishing’ can be experienced without being
contaminated by the actual ‘catching’ of fish. But the
water is beginning to warm up and soon we will experience
long periods of ‘catching’. In the mean time, try to be
patient. Soon, there will be more than enough greatly
exaggerated reports of huge and numerous fish. And I,
myself, will contribute my share. Torrance Eddy

someone (usually a Saint) for a miracle (milagro).
My theme this year is animals! For example, the Rooster tells
the hen they must give thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for the
miracle that the farmer is a vegetarian. This painting is sold but
come see
what the cow, the dove, the whale and the goat have to be thankful
for!
I will also be showing my small watercolours and some paintings by
Jeff Heintzman.
