c.  Repeat….it’s important:  The Banks here are adding new restrictions for Foreign, U.S. or Canadian, checks for deposit. As has been the case forever they do not allow erasure, write-overs, cross outs whatsoever. In other words you must add to whom, which must now be printed, along with the amount, also printed, period. No longhand! If your address or phone number printed on your check is no longer valid, leave it alone! No cross outs or additions and the usage of initialing your changes does not work here. No changes! Save yourself time and misery and write another check! Also make sure that if you must use the memo line at the bottom of the check none of the lines interfere with the Banks numbers at the very bottom. No corrections and only printing acceptable. Longhand is not even taught in the Schools here. Good luck and as with all changes it just takes a while to adapt. If you have any questions not covered please call or email my office for free assistance.   Dennis C. Riley – 52-624-141-0261  paydennis@gmail.com

d.  Reply to military stops:   regarding theft at the military stops…it is a law that you, the tourist, have the right to ask, politely, that only one person at a time can search your car and belongings. I’ve been doing this for years with no problem. If they ask you to step away from the vehicle, I lock all doors and explain I will unlock when I can watch the searchers. If the tourist cannot speak Spanish, they should find a way to write it down, print it and hand it to the guards.

e.  Come and enjoy gorgeous ocean-side dining at The Bay View on July 4th at 6:30pm with us…and with fantastic wine to pair, of course! Sommelier, Adam Greenberg, and Chef Roberto worked together to bring you this evening to celebrate food + wine + you + our amazing community.

I was scammed, Airport Sorianna last Fri., two darling young boys dashed over to help load my groceries. (yes, I tipped them $50ps). When I got home my red zipper pouch was missing.  I use it exclusively for my Passport but I had just flown in and hadn’t put the passport into the pouch!!   Also, heard at the Loreto Fed. check one of our own had cash removed from her purse.  How many times do we have to tell ourselves do not get distracted no matter where you are!  Cheryl
