     Hi, I'm Jeff's sister Natalie.  Here's an update on Jeff.  We left Mexico on May 9 by air vac with a crew from Scripps in San Diego on a plane that came from Long Beach all the way to Cabo to get us thanks to Medcare.  We went to UMC Tucson, you've probably heard of it because it's where Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords was taken immediately after the shooting.  He was in Trauma ICU but quickly went to Acute Care.  Ryan and Alexa were here and alternated staying in the hospital at night to be with him and we all took shifts to make sure he knew someone was always there, We put up all the pictures and cards that Dan and Kim brought to the hospital. He had four more procedures to the right arm, pelvis, right foot and right lung.  He was put back together by the great doctors at UMC.
     On Monday May 23, he was transported to HealthSouth Rehab in Tucson to get strong and mobile.  He's got physical therapy, occupational therapy and every kind of therapy all day long!  It keeps him out of trouble.  We anticipate he will be in Health South until around June 12 when he'll come to my house for a little dog lovin'.  Ryan and Alexa are coming for extended stays to help him with his recovery.
     His spirits are high.  I was anticipating some discouragement, but none so far.  He's motivated and optimistic.  Jeff and his whole family are so grateful for everyone's love and support.  Your loyalty has made all the difference.  There will be difficult times ahead, so keep Jeff (and us too!) in your prayers.
     To send Jeff a card, please send c/o Natalie Prince, PO Box 85356, Tucson, AZ 85754.  He's got a new computer so he will be checking his email, although I think I saw 15,000 in his inbox, so response might be a tad slow.  If anyone needs to reach me for any reason, call me, 520-247-8474.  Thanks again everyone.  Jeff's a fighter, and if you blink, you will miss his return to Baja!
=========================================

THANK YOU!!!!  to everyone who responded to the last A.L.M.A. request for northerners to adopt our precious dogs!!!!  Let's do it one more time!!!  We have beautiful adult dogs - well behaved, hoursebroken, spayed and neutered with ALL shots and health certificates that need homes.  We also have the cutest darn pups that you've ever seen - again with shots and health certificates!!!  So here's the deal - we can get them to several cities in the States for FREE!!  If you send an email to ten of your friends asking them if they'd be interested in adopting and ask them to send it to ten of their friends, we'll get to more people than we have dogs.  Now, THAT, would be a summer miracle!!  If you or your friends are interested in adopting, please go to our website - www.almacares.com or email Sheila or Janel at bajasheila@yahoo.ca or janelinnmex@yahoo.com or call 624-137-7683 (Sheila cell) or 624-175-9102 (Janel cell)  (Think back to five or six years ago when there were stray dogs all over the streets and beaches.  How many do you see roaming around now? Can't think of many? That's right - so let's keep up the good work and get these furry friends some GREAT new homes!)
==========================================

VIDA NUEVA is planning a garage sale if you have clothing or any items that are in good shape or appliances that work please drop them off at Vida Nueva, or call vicki@ 14-10531 or email bajavickicruz@gmail.com for more information.  Thanks so much, vicki

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

a.  Hi Alan,   Still here in Baja, and I signed on (for free) to the TV you mentioned in the last BPE.  I couldn’t get anything to show until I did sign up.   It seems to work very well for me.  The resolution could be a bit better, but it’s ok.  I tried several channels, and they all showed up just fine.  Thanks for letting us know about this!     H Purkey

b.  As skilled fishermen in charge of providing the best fishing day possible, at             Awesome Sportfishing our professional Captains and crew take your personal safety seriously and never drink on board. When at times we can be as much as 50 miles offshore, rest assured you are in our capable hands. With no Coast Guard to call, it is ourselves and the brotherhood of fishermen on the water that we must rely upon to respond in case of an emergency. We will be keenly attentive to assure you that you are safe at all times. At day’s end we’re proud to fly flags that reflect only your catch. We know exactly which fish you catch, how many, and will display only them on the outriggers in keeping with the Baja custom of sharing the day’s specific catch with our community of fishermen. We personally help you manage your catch, filleted, iced down, for smoking or flash freezing to assure the quality of your fish. Or to your favorite restaurant for that night’s dinner. Fishing on the Sea of Cortez is one of the world’s best experiences. If you, your family, friends or guests are fishing this season, Awesome Sportfishing would be delighted to have you on board. We set the bar on customer service first thing in the morning when we personally deliver you shore side to the waiting 14 foot ‘Weesome’ panga to load directly to the ‘Awesome’ or ‘Too Awesome’. No dock waiting, no wondering, just load and go. Fresh fruit smoothies and donuts are served for the run to the fishing grounds. Your comfort is paramount – we accommodate up to six anglers with 12 foot beams on both boats – until the reels go off, feel free to stretch out, relax, take a nap. Or join the Captain in the bridge and he’ll share his expertise and knowledge – in perfect English. Want to be in charge of your own rods? Just let us know. We’ll be proud to have you on board this season. Please email combertheresa@hotmail.com, locally 14-10231, from the US 1-909-266-9707, or turn at the sailfish at the East Cape RV Resort. ‘Get on it’!

We will most likely be closed in September, .We need to find more treasures for our coffers. But in any case Life is an Endless Summer living here on the East Cape. Have a wonderful one. Paul
