The Machete Bandits attempted another robbery this past Monday. The incident occurred near Calle de Panteon & Treinta de Febrero during daylight hours. There were two men in the yard and a third posted as a lookout. Our Mexican neighbor saw the activity and contacted the police. The police apprehended two of the men, the “look out” ran off. The police took the two into custody but were released. (received from a very reliable source but…I do not have any other information.

Posted on FB Everything Los Barriles by Ron McRae: Ronald MacRae The bad guys were held in Jail for 24 hours. They did not enter property, which is a crime. They were caught outside the property, a misdemeanor, and were held for 24 hours in our local jail. When they were released the police took them to Buena Vista ( a different County)… and told them not to return to Los Barriles. We have their photos…. they are defiantly NOT locals. ….

LOST-FOUND-FIDO-MORRIS.
a. FIDO WARNING: I have come upon a pack of three dogs numerous times in the last five days. There is a large black lab and two large Rottweiler’s. They do not have collars. The lab is a female. They have been in the arroyo above Buena Vista a few times, approach my dog and then walk away. Yesterday, 3/19/19, they came through our “park” of Vista Del Mar, jumping over a short wall. Because there are three, they have the potential to be harmful to other dogs and/or people. Does anyone know of them, where they live, etc.? Having them show up on the biking trails i.e. Scotty’s where people may walk curtails my enjoyment of the wonderful trail system. Appreciate any words of advice/news of where they come from. (reply bajaponyexpress3@gmail.com)
b. Found black smart watch at beach kiter shack just north of Verdugo’s hotel. Black with black strap and face. davgood59@gmail.com

c. Courtesy of the Ventana View – Bird’s-eye View: I am constantly getting asked why are there fewer brown pelicans in La Ventana. They used to be several thousand here, but they are now counted in the low hundreds. This species once almost went extinct in the 50s and 60s due to organochlorine chemicals like DDT thinning their eggshells, but after the ban of those chemicals in the early seventies, they came back big-time. No one knows for certain what is causing the current decline, but biologists in California, where 90 percent of brown pelicans live and breed, have observed that they are simply not reproducing enough to replenish their numbers. Suggested reasons are a severe decline in sardines and anchovies due to increased commercial fisheries, some undefined connection to a rapidly growing aquaculture industry in Mexico, and/or the occurrence of El Nino weather conditions. Don’t despair – with some good breeding years, they can come back. david.bird@mcgill.ca
d. Via the Ventana View: Here’s a hyper lapse video from just south of Loreto to the Mexicali entry. We took HWY5 at Chapala. Road and bridges are still severely damaged from the rain. Hwy 5 starts at 14:38 in the video. It will give you a good idea of the roads. https://youtu.be/dmvOWcz1Nmc?fbclid=IwAR0pX3Rr2nV_i41drY6VBcmcNBuhjuwO69DehbdvWjLj2ue2-CwR5eEhjjI
