2. ExotiKite Kiteboarding Wind Report | December 13-December 19 | This past week, winds were light and variable.  Early week, clouds rolled in holding stronger winds at bay.  Light breezes allowed more experienced foilboarders to get on the water, but it was too light for many kiteboarders.  Winds remained light until Saturday as they picked up to 18-20mph, even sending sand flying down the beach in some of the more powerful gusts.  This upcoming Christmas week the set up is very much the same with the forecast calling for clouds and light winds early week.  Wednesday/Thursday look like the best days to get on the water with forecasted winds in the high teens.  There is still time to gift a kiteboarding lesson to the wind enthusiast in your life!  Contact info@exotikite.com or +1 541 380 0948 for details. Happy Holidays from our family to yours!

5. SEVEN one-ton ‘big bags’ full of crushed plastics. ONE of aluminum cans, ONE of metal cans. A 14-foot flatbed trailer nearly full with cardboard. You rock for recycling! It’s amazing what our Los Barriles and East Cape community is keeping out of the landfill and sending to be recycled and reused right here in Mexico. Thank you to the more than 60 homes that participated in December’s ‘First Thursday’ recycling day.
    
   A few new things to share as separating plastics is a moving target: 1) Milk and milky style containers 2) clear plastics 3) colored plastics and lids. You decide – separate at home, or separate here, but we are committed to DIY recycling on collection day. Cardboard? Broken down and tied, or tie it here, but bring it broken down. Hard Styrofoam from packing materials? We take that. We don’t take glass. And as always, the ‘bible’ for recycling: please, rinse your products. A nearly empty jar of peanut butter with the lid on it is gross. Give it to the dog to clean up.  If not, soak it in water before recycling. Crush, crush, crush. Good idea? if you crush after rinsing, your products take up less space in your containers. 
    
   Not yet in the recycling swing of things? We are here for you! Please join us. Consider that 8 million tons of plastics end up in the ocean each year. Don’t use single serve plastic water bottles (seriously, ever). Order “Agua de la Casa” if you are at a restaurant. Buy a Soda Stream and steer away from the constant use of Topo Chico bottles. Tetra pack milk and juice containers are not recyclable. But, their little plastic lids are. Pop them off with your thumb and recycle that part.  
    
   $100 pesos per month per family/household donation is recommended to help our nonprofit pay for the shipping of our products to La Paz to be recycled. All other money supports our children’s environmental summer camp. Friends, this is our home planet. We must protect it.

DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

1. From Gov. Carlos Mendoza Davis: “Today the State Health Safety Committee voted to keep #BCS in yellow, level 3. However, we call on your conscience because the infection numbers are going up and if they continue, we will have to go back at our traffic light; back to the lockdown. If we do not succeed in stopping or reversing this upward trend, we will have to take steps backwards, limit mobility and slow down economic recovery. Let us come to our senses. Mitigating contagion is the task of all of us.”

3. Baja Night Sky – Star of Bethlehem
   The closest conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in almost 800 years occurs this month. One this close will not happen again until 2080. Jupiter and Saturn are giant gas planets out beyond Mars. Saturn takes almost 29.5 years to circle the sun. If the two worlds start together in the night sky, Jupiter speeds around the sun in 11.9 years. In 7.7 years more, Jupiter catches Saturn. Since the planets are not in the same plane, one is usually a few degrees below the other when they pass. Go outside about half an hour to one hour after sunset. Look two fists above the SW horizon for very bright Jupiter. Saturn is just two finger widths away from Jupiter at its upper left, but it is closing in on Jupiter for a “great conjunction” on December 21. On that night, the two planets will be the closest they have been in the night sky (they are actually almost 200,000,000 miles apart) since March 4, 1226. Genghis Kahn had just defeated Chinese troops in Western China. On that evening, all five visible planets sparkled in the SW sky. When the great conjunction of that year occurred on March 4, Kahn consulted his astronomer, who told him the alignment meant he should make peace and return home. According to history–or legend–on the way back to Mongolia, Kahn was killed when he fell from his horse. Start watch tonight as these giant planets close in on each other. – tomspradley@yahoo.com
