The Water Park!!  Straight from Larry Yannayon: "Wonder no more, we'll open up Saturday, March 31 at 10:00 a.m." There you have it, straight from the horse's mouth. 
========================================

     I just saw this year's Shakespeare's Cinderella last night. It was a dress rehearsal with full make-up and it was fantastic. To say that the play was funny is like saying the Sea of Cortez is a puddle.....it was truly hysterical! The costumes were great, the lines spoken quickly with so much humor, you had to listen carefully to get them all, and the songs were so perfectly selected and known by all of us that you found yourself singing along with the actors. And as for the actors....well what more can be said than they were, once again, ready, willing and able to make for a thoroughly enjoyable laughable evening!
     If you don't have your tickets yet, you can buy them at Smokey's or through will call at bajahino@yahoo.com  or call 142-8008. The play runs Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights at 7PM.
=====================================================

Blue Wave Natural Foods will be closed today, Thursday, March 22. We will resume regular hours on Friday and Sat. 11-3
=============================================

Baja Sky Tonight. For insomniacs, the best time to view the Southern Cross is now between midnight and 2am. Look for it just above the mountains directly to the south. Each week the best viewing time moves back by 1/2 hour, or two hours earlier each month. By mid-April look for Crux between 10pm and midnight; by mid-May, between 8pm and 10pm. Someone asked if there is a southern star that marks the south pole of the sky as Polaris marks the north pole. The answer is not yet. But since the Earth wobbles like a spinning top, in about 12,000 years Vega in the constellation Lyra will be the north star, and there will then be a south polar star. In 1000BC the ancient Greeks could see Crux, but by 400AD the Earth's slow 26,000-year wobble, called precession, had dropped the constellation below the horizon in Europe. Crux is still dropping and you won't be able to see it from Baja in 3000 years. Better check it now. Tonight (Thursday) is the last night this month to make an Orion star-count report at www.globeatnight.com.
     All week: Venus and Jupiter shine brightly in the western sky after sunset. Mars is the reddest and brightest star in the eastern sky by 8pm. Saturn can be seen low in the east by 9pm.
     Thursday. New moon. See if you can spot a thin crescent moon after sunset Friday night. There will be higher than normal high tides for the next few days.
     Saturday. There will be a very bright flare at 7:55:49pm about half way to the zenith in the SE (over Punta Arena in LV/ES) This one is moderately bright and 7 seconds later is Los Barriles.
