Hi Everyone,  Max has returned.  He is a bit ill, but getting better each day. Thank you all for your help and concern.
Patti,  Hotel Los Pescadores
=============================

Note from Noelia at Bancomer:
The ATM is working now perfectly, and then may be you can help me to tell everybody!!!
===============================

May 5-6, 2011 - Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower. The Eta Aquarids are a light shower, usually producing about 10 meteors per hour at their peak. The shower's peak usually occurs on May 5 & 6, however viewing should be good on any morning from May 4 - 7. The radiant point for this shower will be in the constellation Aquarius. Best viewing is usually to the east after midnight.
======================================

A shout out to ALMA or any interested local! We have been nursing back to health a baby Xandu's hummingbird. They are indigenous to this area of Baja Calif. We have had her for about 2 weeks now. She is old enough to fly, but unfortunately has a broken shoulder and will have to remain as someones pet bird. We are returning to Baja Norte at the end of May. I don't think she would survive the truck ride home with two dogs and two people in an extra cab. Hotel, check points, etc. I think it could easily scare her to death. We are hoping to find someone willing to foster her or adopt her. She is fun. Perches on your finger, sits on your shoulder, etc. I made a cage for her. With a little research online, it is easy to find all the information you need to make a hummingbird a permanent household pet. A hummingbird is often kept as a house pet. Please email me at plamunyon@yahoo.com I can email some photos of her to you and you can come and visit. Interested parties only. Thank you.
=====================================

Don´t miss ALMA´s dancing under the stars this year!
21st of May, 7pm @ Hotel Pescadores, tickets $25 USD.
Dinner and life band included.
Apart from lots of dancing we´ll hold a silent auction and raffle our cool ALMA Dune Buggy
Tickets available at Buzzards, Wolf Management Office, Vet Clinic at North Beach and from ALMA volunteers.
For more info contact Sheila M. 044 624 137 7683 or e-mail to bajasheila@yahoo.ca

THUMBS UP  -  Must be signed

a.  I saw that Dr. Tony Garcia Montemayor put an ad on BPE and I greatly reccomend him. He is very good. We have been going to him since he worked at angel's touch and he is by far the best dentist we have ever been to. His prices are really good and hope that he gets lots of customers to keep him in business  Thanks.  Angie Walker

ROAD REPORTS

a.  We stayed in El Rosario at the Baja Cactus Hotel, it is next to the Pemex station. Rooms were nice and big, hot showers and pet friendly on the lower level, price was 350 pesos. They have a website (not completed) that has their location and number.  http://www.bajacactus.com/
     Also crossing at the Tijuana border is a mess, the crossing is under construction, coming back through Tecate was good. There is not a lot of construction going on between there and Ensenada.

QUESTIONS

a.  Does anyone know an allergist East Cape Cabo area??   casadefischer@hotmail.com  130-0201

b.  Hola amigos:  I am crossing the border at Otay Mesa heading for LalaLand on May 12.  Does anyone know if there is an insurance company on the US side that sells California Auto Insurance?  Gracias, JoAnn 
ranchoverde.hyslop656@gmail.com

c.  My Generac 15KW (propane) generator seems to have a mind of its own, starting up on what appears to be a random basis.  I keep it on the "Auto" setting but when it decides to run, it may go from a couple minutes to indefinitely (stopping only when I turn it off).  We've adjusted the line monitor but that doesn't seem to do the job.  It still works great when the electricity goes off, stopping after the power comes back on.  Any thoughts out there in Ponyland?    Suggestions as to a repair technician who is familiar with emergency generators? Preferably Generac.  Ed in Los Barriles; ebodaken@gmail.com.

d.  Can anyone refer CPA familiar with Mexican tax returns that could help with our personal tax filing requirements to IRS  concerning  S. de R.L. de C.V. stock holding.  Thanks,  bajawill@gmail.com
