==================================
 
The Consul General from the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana, Andrew SE Erickson, will be in Los Cabos on Wednesday, December 12th.  He will be speaking at a Town Hall meeting for American citizens at the Hilton Hotel at 3:00 pm that afternoon. He is interested in hearing the concerns of the American community and, although he will be unable to answer passport or visa questions, Consular Agency staff will be on hand to respond to these and other inquiries attendees may have. Mr. Erickson will be unable to answer questions from the press. The Hilton is located on the Carretera Transpeninsular Km 19.5, between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. We hope to see you there!
=============================================

 Last April Telmex dropped my internet connection from 4 megs to 2 megs without any notification. My bill was almost 1000 pesos a month for the 4 meg service that worked well for several years. My new bill for the 2 meg service was now almost 600 pesos. In six months I discovered that a 2 meg service is supposed to be almost 300 pesos monthly. So for six months they took approximately 300 pesos from me unfairly. When I argued my case with Telmex they told me they would only reimburse my account for three months. I persisted for a very long time and with repeated phone calls before they finally asked me what I would settle for. I did the math and they agreed to credit my account.
     In addition they now claim they can not give me more than a 2 meg service because of their server. And when I asked for the 10 meg service they now offer they said they could not provide it to me. However my new bill was for the 10 meg service.   Ken E

BAJA NIGHT SKIES December 2012 -- International Space Station: Sunday evening, December 9, the ISS will make a bright six-minute pass over Baja Sur. The space station  rises in the SW near Mars around 6:11pm, crosses overhead through the Great Square of Pegasus around 6:14:45pm, passes near the Andromeda Spiral Galaxy  about 6:15:20pm, and goes back into the earth's shadow in the NE about 6:17pm. Stars: Several bright stars rise in the SE during the evening: Betelguese and Rigel in the constellation Orion around 7pm north of southeast (NSE), Sirius, brightest star in the night sky, in the SE around 8:30pm, and Canopus  SSE around 10pm. Stars are so far away that their image is just a point of light. Atmospheric layers of different temperatures and densities, acting like a prism, bend starlight by refraction into different colors  and paths that cause a star to "twinkle."  The three bright stars forming the large Summer Triangle in the NW sky around 8pm are Deneb,  Altair, and the brightest, Vega. They leave the night sky soon after New Year's. Planets: The planet Jupiter rises in the E during early evening and is brighter than Sirius. It is relative close to Earth and appears as a disk in a telescope. Many points of light from its disk are refracted, but tend to cancel each other out, so Jupiter and the other planets do not twinkle as much as stars. Mars is setting in the SW until around 7:15pm. It's worth getting up before 6am to see Mercury, Venus, and Saturn lined up in the eastern sky. Internet talk that this alignment and the completion of a Mayan calendar cycle on December 21 herald the end of the world  has no basis in fact.  Meteor Shower: The Geminids, one of the best showers of the year, peaks between 9pm Thursday, December 13, and dawn December 14. While other showers are produced by grain-sized particles left by disintegrating comets and never fall to earth as  meteorites, Geminid meteors are pieces from an asteroid and can produce fireballs that reach the earth as meteorites. Peak hours after midnight often produce as many as 100 meteors an hour.   Tom S.

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name & email address.

 Pemex Discussion - Courtesy of the BajaWesternOnion on the Pacific side

a.  Scams at Pemex Gas Stations - We have received a number of reports of scams run at various gasoline stations in the Los Cabos area. These reports usually increase around the holidays, and often revolve around the same themes; tampered pumps not giving full measure, attendants not resetting pumps to 0.00 or pretending to pump gas when they did not, attendants working in teams to distract you with one offering to wash your windows, short changing, claiming you gave a 20- or 50-peso note instead of a 200- or 500-peso note, etc.
     Best advice is for you to order a specific amount of gasoline, such as $300 pesos, verify the pump has been reset to 0, pay using the exact amount in pesos you ordered, and don't lose sight of the money you paid. Contact the authorities at PROFECO, 5568 8722 in Mexico City, or 01 800 468 8722, www.profeco.gob.mx/english.htm, denunciasgasolina@profeco.gob.mx, whenever you have a complaint. Make a note of the station number, location, and the name of the attendant(s) if you can get it. - The Baja Western Onion

Greetings Pony Express folks!
I'm putting together a selection of work to show at the Colima del Sol Art Festival this sunday. I enjoyed the show last year so much... The setting is awesome and the people organizing are so laid back and agreeable that it made showing my work a real pleasure. I've taken a few pictures of paintings that will be showing this weekend. I hope to see you there!  Steve
