Vic's wife Alena won the bronze in the women's race. Vic was born and raised in White Salmon, Washington.

They stole the following items, 2 black & white Norco Mountain Bikes, 1 Lenovo Thinkpad Laptop computer, 1 Panasonic Lumix digital camera, 1 JVC video camera, 1 Vortex Binoculars and an inverter.

Please be aware with your own place.
=====================================

BAJA NIGHT SKY. Thursday, Feb. 20: (1) Jupiter, Sirius, and Canopus are the brightest objects in the evening sky now. By 9pm, Canopus is low on the southern horizon below Sirius. The Milky Way stretches upward on the left of these stars. Sirius is a young star, and fifth closest to Earth at 8.65ly. Canopus is bigger, and far more luminous than Sirius, but appears dimmer at its distance of 310 ly. It is a dying star that has used up its hydrogen and is now burning, by fusion, its small supply of heavier elements. When they are gone, it will collapse into a dead, white-hot Earth-size dwarf. (2) The early-morning southern sky around 5:30am is dominated by J-shaped Scorpio. The constellation has been called the scorpion by desert cultures for all of written history. The bright star Shaula is its stinger, and red Antares its heart. A line from Antares through the middle head star, Dschubba, currently points at Saturn, whose rings are visible now through a telescope. Friday morning the Moon will escort Saturn across the sky. The brighter of the two stars on the horizon below Saturn is Alpha Centauri, the third brightest, and closest star to Earth at 4.36 ly. Its companion, Hadar, just to the west, is actually a triple star system, three stars, two of them twins, orbiting a common center. They are 90 times as far away as Alpha Centauri. West of Saturn, Mars is expanding into a more vivid red as we close in on it, and then pass it on April 8, on our orbit around the sun. (3) The brightest Iridium Flare of the year so far occurs on Saturday at 7:01:55pm (+/- 10 seconds). Look high in the NNE sky, about 60 degrees (six fists at arm's length) above the horizon. It should outshine Venus and Jupiter combined for several seconds. Tom S. BajaNightSky@gmail.com

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

a. Answer:  Stain Glass repairs:  Shelly Lewis in Spa Buena Vista 141-0488 or artformglass@hotmail.com

b.  Discussion:  Animal poisoning in La Ribera

     1)   Animal poisoning update – La Ribera. The information from the local vet indicates that there have been several fatal incidents with cats and dogs being poisoned in the area and the numbers are still rising. Please be vigilant with your pets and do not let them roam the streets. Please also keep your eyes and ears open for any information that may lead to the perpetrator/s. The laying down of poisoned bait is illegal in Mexico and, if caught, the penalties are severe.
Tracey  La Ribera 612 161 5466

     2)  There have been two more dogs killed in La Ribera by poisoning. A hot dog was found in one of the yards and given to the police. Please keep your animals close to your house and keep an eye on them. If you see anyone appearing to be throwing something or feeding something to an animal that does not belong to them, please report it to the police. Poisoning animals is a criminal act in Mexico.

c.  Car Importing:  Car Impounds: Disconcerting as it is, I can confirm things are heating up as far as Foreigners with visas/perm residents/ dual citizens driving cars with foreign license plates..... I received two calls regarding importing calls yesterday. Although it is not in my area of expertise- business, my girlfriend's family in Tijuana has been importing cars for the last 40 years. They have an "Agencia Aduanal" importing agency and I have worked with them for years. Yes, you have to present your car at the border, but the process is relatively easy and the family could not be nicer, or more professional. If anyone has any questions regarding the process, please fell free to contact me. Am here in Los Barriles and would be happy to clarify concerns, and put you in contact with them if you wish.
