Baja Sky Tonight (Friday). Moonrise is at 8:13pm. Look for Saturn to the upper left of the moon, and the bright star Spica to the upper right. Through binoculars, Saturn is a steady golden color, Spica a sparkling blue-white. Saturn is the farthest planet from the sun that can be easily seen with the unaided eye. In the west, the Pleiades, a young, faint open star cluster, can be found above Jupiter and Venus. Venus will reach this cluster in early April. Most people can see the 6 brightest stars in this cluster on a dark night. Through binoculars there are more than 30 stars. Subaru refers to the Pleiades. The Subaru logo is an ellipse that encloses the 6 naked-eye stars of the Pleiades.
=============================================

There are two things that can degrade your electronics: dust and water. We have a lot of both here in Los Barriles.
     During the past two years I have had failures in my TV, computer and stereo amplifier. All three had significant build-up of dust over the years down here. The dust as you know is similar to a fine talcum powder. Just two days ago, my relatively new TV stopped switching between input signals. Being the Geek, I promptly rebooted the computer chip and updated the firmware. Yes, even your TV is a computer with microprocessors and operating systems. To reboot, unplug, wait a couple of minutes and plug it in again. That worked twice. Then no more switching. I updated the software - no luck. Finally, I used the air compressor (outside if your married) to blow out the dust. Now the TV works fine. The same technique was used over the years to repair two of my computers and my stereo amp. Caution, the type and pressure of the air is most important. If you used canned air, try short bursts. Canned air can create frost which contains moisture - short bursts usually work. If you use the air compressor, do not use a concentrated 90 psi at close range. You may do more damage with high pressure. Do not use high pressure on your laptop!!! It's best to take a laptop to a professional for cleaning.
     Water damage is not as frequent but it does happen mostly to portable devices. If you spill liquids on your laptop or drop your cell phone in water, immediately turn the item off, remove all power and remove the battery (not possible on an iphone). Place the item in a dry area for three days. Pray!!! Turn it on! The inside of cell phones there is a water dot that turns pink when touched by water. Tough to talk your way out of that one. Apple owners: Take it to the Apple Store, be honest and throw yourself at the mercy of the Help Desk (Genius Bar in Mac speak).

Venue is Rancho Buena Vista, doors opening at 6pm, show beginning promptly at 7pm.

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

a.  If you need new windows, get a price from Alvaro at ASM Windows. Local in Los Barriles with his shop behind the tire shop directly across the Highway from El Arco & Armando's Hardware. Honest, fast, and excellent quality. 624-100-0516. On my house his prices were 30% less than anyone in La Paz. mikejetmore@gmail.com

b.  Having recently had the distinction of being an inpatient in Blue Medical Net Hospital, I wanted to pass on information about this new medical facility located along the 4 lane (across from Home Depot). I have had several incidents over the past year where I had to be treated at their facility. I cannot say enough good things about the medical staff, their professionalism, and concern for each of their patients. Can you imagine in this day and age that a hospital will care more for their patients than the USDollar or PESO ! And when did a surgeon care enough about his patient's stress level prior to surgery and had a masseuse come in to give a relaxing massage to help alleviate that stress...well, it happened and it's not out of the ordinary for them to take special care of their patients. Recently the Blue Medical staff has been placing Announcements in the Gringo Gazette and in the local Daily News giving information on the specialists that are associated with Blue Medical Net. Take the time to check them out - the medical staff have been trained in the top medical schools in the U.S. and in Mexico and other countries - and they speak English. They will gladly take you on a tour of their facility; ie: E.R., Pharmacy, treatment rooms, X-ray, operating room, comfortable and roomy patient rooms, etc. Call and ask about the medical specialists that are available. Phone 624-104-3911 and talk with an English speaking receptionist.
