LOST-FOUND-FIDO-MORRIS.

a.  Our out of town friends found a cell phone near Tamayo’s Store Thursday, they took it into the store cashier.

DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

a.  GOOD NEWS! Dear Friends. We said YES, after 16 years being together.  Greetings from sunny and windy Bournemouth, England.  Peter and Brigitte Barrett

b.  BEWARE- Tuesday afternoon between 4-5p a man trespassed onto my property in the Buenos Aires area.  He stealthily came through my main gate then through a smaller gate creeping quietly up my stairs.  My four dogs and I were having a siesta. But at the moment he came near to my front door I got up to take laundry downstairs.  I confronted him 15 ft away from my front door.  Upstairs! I started screaming at him and ran to get my taser.  I chased him down the stairs with my dogs in tow zapping my taser.  He kept saying “trabajo” but this guy was NOT looking for work.  As he ran through my gate, my foster pit bull nipping at his heels and me continuing to zap my taser and screaming, he exited.  But what was chilling is that after he closed my gate he looked at me and he smiled. Like I was funny and he didn’t have a care in the world.  He was in his late 30s. Well kempt in a navy Tee shirt that was tucked into his jeans.  He had short hair and a thin mustache.  About 5’8″ and hispanic.  Had he been looking for work he would have asked one of the three crews currently working on my block.  He did not. As a single woman living here I have never before been afraid in our beautiful town. There are so many laborers in town these days that do not hail from these parts and have no investment in this community.  There are at currently at least 25-30 on my short block on any given day.  I see dozens of men being trucked into the area each morning on my walk and hear some even live in the arroyo. Though it may be a bit more expensive, if you are building I encourage you to consider hiring contractors that utilize local talent for they are committed to this community in a way that the day laborers who come from outside the area are not. Perhaps that is controversial to say but I have spoken to so many people who are wondering the same thing I wonder.  What is happening to our beautiful town?  (unsigned)  ((Personally, I would rather post the name/emil of the sender but more importantly, I feel it’s necessary we all pull together and post incidences of this nature. ))

c.  Yesterday a young Mexican man about 30ish walked into my gate and right up my stairs.  Didn’t knock, call or whistle.  I have a doorbell on my gate entrance.  He asked if I had any work.  He had a very surprised look on his face when he saw me.  When I told him no he scampered down to our next door neighbors and did the same.  He was sent away and the next neighbors told him to leave.  He ran away very quickly.  He wore a brown T-shirt, Red cap.   Could possibly be the same person that robbed house in Buenos Aires.  Be aware everyone.  We have a lot of outsiders in our area.  Makes me sad we have to be so suspicious of anyone approaching our happy place.

d.  Cudos to Christian at the Repsol !  Left phone near office while waiting for factura. Called number and he found phone and turned into office. Went back yesterday, from LV, and office manager (lady) said no phone turned in. Christian, complete embarrassed said he would look for it and spoke with my Mexican wife on his phone and between them located the phone, via “find my phone”, at the lady‘s house that runs the office today. When confronted she turned over the phone to him and we recovered it. Please treat him well with tips as he is a stand up guy…for the office lady….?   Maybe a link to the credit card issues?  (unsigned)

e. Drove into COSTCO yesterday and was surprised by the Policea presence on the 4 lane. On the drive home, saw four separate police vehicles which had stopped cars for infractions. Beware the speed limit…..seat belts….etc.  The Lonely Renter

f.  From the BCS Noticias:  Los Cabos, Baja California Sur (BCS) . As of April, in the tourist destination of Los Cabos, a fine of more than 8,400 pesos will be in effect for those who use the cell phone or any electronic device, while driving any automotive unit.Link:   https://www.bcsnoticias.mx/por-usar-celular-y-manejar-ciudadanos-de-los-cabos-pagaran-multa-de-mas-de-8400-pesos/

QUESTIONS

a.  We live in Buenos Aires and I was working in the yard and the Policia pulls up.  The officer got out and ask if anyone lives here?  I said ‘yes’ I do…. he said “we never see anyone here at this address”.  I said we are always around.  Anyway it got me thinking, is this maybe perhaps a new approach by the Policia to get to know folks?  I’m just concerned…. it was almost fishy, but I don’t know? If anyone else has had this experience, please drop me a note.  thundervalley98178@yahoo.com

b.  Is there anyone who can replace a windshield on location?  jilljeffcole@sbcglobal.net
