Received this email
at 5:20pm, Wed. Jan 19th
I was just informed by SAPA the
reason we are without water is La Paz did not pay the
electric bill for the Pumps here in Los Barriles and San
Bartolo and the CFE has shut us down. Dennis
==========================
OOPS X THREE from yesterday's BPE.
1. DVS of Lord of the Wind:
I think were I sent you the mail yesterday I quoted the
price of 100 coconuts,
I meant 100 pesos so
in other words 10 coconuts.
People might think that I am crazy asking a 100 bucks for a
20 minute DVD.
Thanks, Frank
Frank.Purschwitz@gmail.com
2. The Medical Seminar,
BPE#980, is Friday,
January 21st.
3. Heidi's dog walking
service is 1
clamshell per walk, not 10. Ooops!

Translation: Of course we are
meeting at the parking lot in Mega by
McDonalds and then caravan together to a
place one kilometer away from buzzards
towards the east cape spend about two
hours combining stargazing with a full
explanation and sax music as a
background, we will teach attendees how
to use a telescope and talk about
cosmology and astronomy, we ask to bring
jackets and blankest because it may be
cold and also something to eat and to
drinks because we are miles away from
stores and there's is no services in the
premises, the reason why we go there is
because is very dark and thus we have
more things to see and to talk about.
it is very inexpensive considering
that that sax player is excellente!!!!
