One of our La Ribera dogs has found a forever home in Calgary or Vancouver, Canada.   What he needs now is a nice person or persons to escort him up to meet his new family.  His foster mom will transport him to the airport with all of the paperwork in hand and will be there with you while
you check in, and will stay with "Duke" until he is loaded on the plane.  The people from the animal rescue group will meet you at the airport in Calgary.  It is a very simple procedure.  If you can help  please call Betty @ 624-130-0340 or email  bajakittykat@aol.com.   Thanks.  Woof!
============================================
 
     I wanted to make our neighbors in East Cape aware that we were burglarized some time between June 2012 and January 2, 2013. A Foster 6'x6' Commercial Walk-In Freezer was stolen from our main building in Spa Buena Vista and the thieves spent diligent time with power tools to dismantle the freezer panel by panel. Along with the freezer they stole the condensing unit that was to operate the freezer. We have filed a police report so we would appreciate information if anyone is aware of a commercial freezer being sold or obtained by anyone in the area. I have enclosed a picture of a freezer identical to the one stolen.
     These thieves took time and premeditated action on this burglary so please contact us at ismrents@yahoo.com if anyone has any knowledge about the Foster Commercial Freezer.
Thank you,  Josh Forrester

BAJA NIGHT SKY -- Saturday, February 16:  The only cloud in the sky last Monday evening, when the crescent Moon, Mercury, and Mars were setting together, was a black cloud covering the two planets. If it is clear after sunset,  Mercury will be easier to find for several nights now as it reaches greatest  eastern elongation tonight, about 18 degrees east, or an hour and 12 minutes behind the setting sun. Then it heads back west and will pass between us and the  sun on its way to becoming the "morning star" in a few weeks. Look for it about 50 minutes after sunset, starting about 6:35pm.  I needed binoculars to find it last night, but many people spot it unassisted.  Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, and spends much of its time hidden in the sun's glare. It takes Mercury 88 days to orbit the sun. In the meantime, Earth has traveled millions of miles, and Mercury needs another 28 days, a total of 116, to catch up and reach the same position in the sky as seen from Earth. So from our viewpoint,  Mercury makes 3 and a fraction more trips around the sun  each year, or almost exactly 22 every 7 years. Every year there will be three times when Mercury is the evening star for a couple of weeks, and three times when it is the morning star, and each time there is only an hour or so after sunset, or before sunrise when the planet is visible. Even then, clouds, city lights, and obstructed horizons may block the planet from view. So unless one makes plans to see Mercury, chances are they never will.  This information about Mercury was recorded by the Mayans in the Dresden Codex more than 800 years ago. In modern times, it was a calculation about Mercury's orbit using Einstein's theory, the first calculation to agree closely with observation, that gave physicists confidence  that the General Theory of Relativity was correct.  Tom S.

COMMUNITY MARKET  -  Saturday, February 16th

a.  Fresh Smoked Yellowtail at the Community market this week, also Yellowtail empanadas. Does anyone have any hickory chips they want to sell me or trade for some smoked fish? I'll trade you a half pound of smoked fish for each bag of chips. Just bring them to the market, Thanks Larry

b.  Paella Valencia - authentic Spanish paella made fresh for you Saturday morning.  Take it "to go" for lunch or dinner, it's plenty for 2 people.  Esta muy bien!  Ymmm

c.  If you attend the Open Market tomorrow be sure and notice the wonderful new permanent art that local Mexican artist Barchi has painted. It is of the cave paintings....
Barchi can paint anything find a picture in a magazine or art book and have him copy.......He is located across from the Los Barriles Hotel next door to the old Tortilla stand....

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name and/or email address.

a.    1)  Re: cell phones in Baja:  We carry our Verizon and it works in most populated areas; dunno about Los Barriles.  It’s phone specific also, so check with Verizon regarding your specific phone.  We normally pay the $0.69/minute (?) since the added $25/month (?) doesn’t result in economies for our limited use.
      2)   cash, ATMs et al
It’s best to pay with pesos, as you’re sure to get the right rate of exchange.  There have been reports of ATM at markets that have been compromised, to take your confidential info, but it’s not happened to us.  If we have the choice, we go to a bank for the withdrawal; we withdraw MXN$5000 at a time (ca. USD$400).  The place to be cautious is at the Pemex gas stations.  This is particularly true of the Pemex on the west side of the hwy, immediately south of the main road into Santa Rosalia.  Always pay in cash, not credit card, and watch the meter before and after delivery.  And tell the attendant how much you’re handing him; try to give him close the the exact amount.  If a problem arises, address it immediately.  The Sta Rosalia Pemex made an error, but I caught it and he corrected the amount.
Buen viaje.

b Jimmy and I got new glasses at Costco and were very pleased.  The exam was professional, the prices good and there was a good selection of frames.  However, several months later one of my lenses was damaged so I took the glasses back to be fixed, cost free I hoped since there is a guarantee.  I am happy to say that Costco honored the guarantee.  It took a little longer and a little urging but I have my glasses back gratis.  Chris White
