Why so negative?(4 plus pages later i think we know why)Enough already!

fishbuck - 7-22-2008 at 07:27 PM

Why does everyone seem to be in such a funk?
Sure there are a few problems. I don't think anyone is in denial but it ain't all bad.
Fishing is HOT everywhere just about. Fuel is plentiful and cheap. Beer is cold, ladies are beautiful and hot.
LIFE IS GOOOOD! ENJOY IT!

fishbuck - 7-22-2008 at 07:44 PM

I see a few spot shortages here and there. And it's still around $2.50/gal isn't it.
It's not a problem.
Why do you paint such a gloomy picture all the time?
Some people get a thrill off of creating a bunch of negative drama.
Are you a "Drama Queen" fulano?

Just the way it is

Lee - 7-22-2008 at 07:51 PM

I think arguing the negativity is negative rather than reporting it.

I for one do not see things negatively -- probably never will. I don't think of Baja that way and don't see it that way. Bad news sells and people will probably believe the worst anyway -- because I think that's how alot of people are. For the rest, it's Baja as usual.

Sharksbaja - 7-22-2008 at 07:56 PM

Nomad factual (I hope)but mostly bad news, reporter.

Question to all: Do you smile when you bring up and talk about Baja off the net?

If not, a pity, lo siento!

Hey fishbuck, if you read the news instead of the jokes on the bar napkins during happy hour, you would know that 60% of the gas stations in Baja are out of gas. You do read Spanish, don't you?

http://el-mexicano.info/nota.aspx?idNota=312451&esSecc=t...

"DESABASTO DE GASOLINA EN EL 60 POR CIENTO DE LAS ESTACIONES EN LA REGIÓN"

So, fishbuck, since part of the raison d'etre for this board is to give current information on Baja to travelers, what good does an ill-informed comment like: "Fuel is plentiful and cheap" do anybody?

Inquiring minds want to know.

You can read all the newspapers you want, I was just in Baja and encountered no shortages. Just my real-life experience.

BY STEPHANIE SANCHEZ, SUN STAFF WRITER
SAN LUIS RIO COLORADO, Son. - Some gas stations here have experienced a gasoline and diesel shortage partly because they haven't been able to keep up with the high demand of American motorists who are crossing the border to take advantage of cheaper prices.

PEMEX gas stations workers said they hope their fuel supplies normalize this week after delays in fuel shipments from Rosarito, Baja Calif., and high demand from American motorists combined to cause shortages.


It appears to be temporary and limited to the border. Not a problem.

Hey, that's good to know, Zac, 'cause your posts and blog say you were last in Baja about 10 days ago and the article I read was from yesterday. You should update your blog for the trip you took to Baja after you got back on the 13th, since your information is more current.

En incertidumbre gasolineras por desabasto

Leyendas como “fuera de servicio”, “precaución descargando combustible”, interminables filas de conos anaranjados bloqueando las entradas; estaciones en aparente abandono y despachadores, limpiando residuos de aceite y gasolina, en espera de que llegue una nueva pipa cargada de combustible, es parte del panorama que viven algunas gasolineras de la ciudad desde la madrugada del domingo.

Aunque algunos gasolineros de la localidad aseguraron estar preparados para hacerle frente al desabasto de combustible, que vive la región desde hace algunas semanas, a otros no les ha quedado de “otra” más que sentarse a esperar el cargamento.

De acuerdo con sondeo realizado por FRONTERA, despachadores de cinco estaciones, ubicadas en diversas zonas, coincidieron que el desabasto de gasolina PREMIUM que actual enfrentan se debe al proceso de entrega-recepción por parte de la estación Pemex, situada en Rosarito.

“Estamos batallando con los tiempos de entrega, nos están surtiendo una vez o dos veces a la semana de acuerdo con un programa que ellos están manejando, a mi a veces me falta un tipo de combustible pero últimamente nos mandan una pipa de una y una de otra”, explicó Luis Fernando Salgado Plat, encargado de Eco Gasolineras.

Además de la incertidumbre en que viven los encargados y empleados de gasolineras, FRONTERA constató que el desconcierto que vive la población va en aumento, pues aunque los hechos dicen más que las palabras, en ninguna sola estación se observaron cartelones anunciando la falta de combustible.

[last sentence]In addition to the uncertainty experienced by managers and employees of gas stations, FRONTERA found that the bewilderment of the people is increasing, because although the facts speak louder than words, in not one single gas station were there banners announcing the lack of fuel.

I saw this one but I guess I didn't read any shortage into it.
My spin:
They are cutting the fuel supply near the border. They don't want the subidized fuel going into the US. So they might run out of gas there.
The is plenty of fuel and no lines in Rosarito. I never fuel up until I get to Ensenada.
So from Rosarito on south plenty on fuel.
Plus recent field reports from a reliable source (Bajaboy) indicate no fuel shortage.

I did like the part about ladies trading sex for gasoline.
I always have a full tank of fuel in my truck so if any lady Nomads need help...

Bajaboy and fishbuck are right, there is plenty of gasoline, at least here in Tijuana. I've seen no shortage.

I go through TJ to and from San Diego at least weekly and always buy gas in playas, it's a quick detour and there's a modern plaza for other shopping and ATMs for pesos, and I usually drive right up to the pump, sometimes there's one or two cars ahead of me, and fill the tank. No problems so far.

We just drove back and saw no problems with gas and we also saw some tankers in Encenada.

But then again, we did not inspect every gas station, nor did we inspect those tankers---they could have been empty. :yes::yes:

"Exigen a gritos que se resuelva el abasto

Playas de Rosarito.- Con pancartas en alto y al grito de "Dame más gasolina", un centenar de despachadores se manifestó a las afueras de la planta de Pemex de la colonia Reforma en esta ciudad, para exigir que se normalice el abasto del combustible, toda vez que la escasez trastornó ya el funcionamiento de gasolineras de todo el estado."

Playas de Rosarito .- With banners held high and the cry of "Give me more gasoline", a hundred gas station workers protested on the outskirts of the Pemex plant Pemex at Colonia Reforma in this city, to demand that the supply of fuel be normalized, whenever shortages disrupt the operation of gas stations around the state.

BajaGringo - 7-23-2008 at 02:33 PM

Like many here on BN, I read the news in addition to listening to the personal accounts of others living here and balance it all out with my own experience living here in Baja. Just because it is in the news doesn't mean that it is true or currently accurate. Most journalists today prefer to get their stories off the wire services or just reprints of other articles online. Little time seems to be spent in the field doing actual and updated reporting. I am beginning to believe that journalists just keep cycling the same news stories around and around and often the story is either wrong or old. Balancing real life with the news is not living with your head in the sand, it is just common sense. Most folks here seem to get it.

I just came back from Rosarito and checked out four gas stations:

1. Pemex South on Popotla Blvd.
2. Pemex AM/PM South
3. Pemex AM/PM across from McDonalds
4. Pemex North across from Calimax

All four were open, pumping gas, and no lines of folks "fighting" or "dodging bullets" to get gas. Here are the photos taken less than an hour ago. Since I have my head in the sand I must be missing something...

Come on, let's see a show of hands.

Yes, in 1999 but that's another story that involves cute girls, moonshine, and real gas shortages. Hey Buck, I'll share that one with you next time we hook up on some big yellowtails.

Shark,

How many people have you steered clear of buying on the river in Mulege. How many really since you suffered severe damage from John and some damage from the hurricane before it. Is your house for sale and is that why you like so many others`have so little to say about the dangers of living there on the rio.

Let's see now. Was it you who posted all those pictures of your place devestated by the flood? Was it you who posted all about the mess in fixing up the place again? Was it you who led the drive to collect funds to help---yes, I do remember that equipment given to the local fire department.

You blew it Sharks, you have not done a good job of hiding the "facts" about living on that river. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

It really would be great to be able to make sweeping statements and know they are the Truth. You continue to imply that anyone with a positive attitude is just out to make a buck----it was just that this time, you picked on Sharks.

My point, in case you missed it, was that he never tried to to hide what happened---oh, he also posted about being ripped off after the flood.

Now, just who is this "we"the ones that all helped? Sure others helps, but just who is this we?

Oh, News Flash. We own a home in Bahia Asuncion and someday we may want to sell it, so in the interest of disclosure,

Bahia Asuncion can be quite cold and windy

Every so many years a hurricane makes its way to BA

Our home is not built to US building code standards, it has what we call character--one just has to get to know it.

There are scorpions in our front yard, and there some have found their way into the house

There might be rattlesnakes and an occasional coyote.

Second News Flash
Beware of buying homes anywhere in Baja Sur---there could be a hurricane.

Beware of buying homes on the Texas coast, Florida, etc---hurricanes.

And there are tornados in Kansas and wildfires in California---even in seemingly safe expensive suburbs like Poway.

Get real----opps, I forgot, you and the "we" are the ones with the Truth.

Living in Mulege is fine . Its living on the river that we are talking about. Are you having trouble with english..
No one has responded to my point.. No one has warned anyone to not buy or live on the river in Mulege....Where are you Shark.... Respond to these charges .....


I guess not....:cool:

Diane,

You brought up a good point on disclosure. I wonder how vocal Pal was about the dangers of hurricanes to the clients he had in Cabo. I'm sure he tried to talk them out of buying one of his condos.

Did you ever think that maybe there is something for you to learn out there ?


Diver, I was the one who started the suggestion that Bajaboy didn't really own anything. I know the details of his individual situation. He described his purchase in some detail on his blog here:

http://tinyurl.com/5jde4j

"The purchase process was fairly simple and straightforward and was completed in a few days. (Well, we did have some friends that assisted in the process which really made life a bit more comforting.) We basically purchased the house from the seller and the land from the municipality. In many of the smaller villages, much of the land is owned originally by the municipality. If someone decides to buy the land then a new title is created for that person. "

Bajaboy has been skinned and flicked by the Mexicans. He will be in denial for some time, maybe even forever.

Oh no, you got me....maybe I did get suckered. Maybe I should have asked you first for guidance. Keep on searching the Internet....you might just find what you are looking for.

You need to walk away from this board for a few hours and get at least 5 sources on buying land legally in Mexico. You will find this info from many sources and not from your "friends"
Please do not take my word on it. Do your research and get back to us because there is not anyone on this board that wants you to get ripped off. Its that simple and will only cost you an hour or so.

I would suggest the rest of you that have done the same as bajaboy research the same info. I am sure you will be surprized at what you find.
I am not trying to sell you anything but am trying to save you some headache. Good luck with it..

Don't buy on the river in Mulegé...you may get flooded...you may not get flooded...I live near the river and I got flooded once, only four feet...I still live there and I love it...
