I think i went there once in 1996. I recall it promoted drinking shots while suspended upside down. Never really been in to that type of bar
scene… but drinking games until black out drunk seems like one of the popular things to do in cabo, eh?
Woke!

I walked through the Giggling Marlin once, years ago. It was not my scene and I had no interest. Ironically, I walked past Giggling Marlin 3 weeks
ago, showing a friend of mine around downtown San Lucas, not my idea of "fun".
I guess the Giggling Marlin will be replaced by some other tawdry bar for the cruise ship crowd to visit.

Oye, Lencho, ?como lo va?
Truth be told, I did observe some marginal expats who might call themselves "locals" or maybe it was "locos" from time to time, in there. Looked like
the type who were banned from BN, trying to pick up on some "visitors."

Yeah, I guess so, (I don't know) if you're the type of "local" who easily gets "steamed up."
I feel no sense of loss either, along with Squid Roe.

Cabo Wabo and Squid Roe are fun stops too. Baja has something for everyone and even though Cabo is one of my least favorite places in Baja, it is an
economic driver for the people and provides a lot of jobs.
Maybe they will rebuild and call it the Cabo Steam Factory!

"Baja has something for some "locals and visitors"
There, fixed it for you that is more accurate.

I am not a fan of tourist bars, north or south of the border. I am not deaf (yet) but have had enough ear damage over the years that I cannot have a
conversation in a noisy, rowdy situation.
Going to someplace when there is no one else there would also be kind of pointless, other than checking off a famous place on my bucket list!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Hearing loss doesn't affect all ranges of sound. I experience the same thing- can't follow conversations when there is loud, constant ambient noise.
But that was an issue for me from back in my 40's. I got my hearing tested and I had some hearing loss in the conversational range, not in other
ranges. I was told it wasn't bad enough to warrant hearing aids and it hasn't gotten any worse. But I easily am woken up by things like dog barking,
roosters, etc. because that's a different sound range.
I also usually can't hear what someone is saying if they are talking to me from a different room or facing away from me and speak quietly. I can hear
that they are talking, but can't clearly hear the words.

I can't speak to your specific hearing issues. However, I do know that we generally experience 4 different sleep stages during a typical night:
- in bed but awake, yes, you are "awake" when you get up during the night to use the bathroom, typically about 10% of your "sleep" hours
- REM sleep, dream state of semi-consciousness, typically about 20% of your sleep hours.
- Light sleep, easily awakened by dog barking, roosters, owls hooting, coyotes howling, frogs croaking, etc., typically about 50% of your sleep hours
- Deep sleep, "dead to the world", typically about 20% of your sleep hours.
ALL 4 stages are necessary to get a good night's sleep and the typical person will go through these stages for various lengths of time and
interchangeably with the others, e.g. you may wake up from REM sleep to go to the bathroom and then go back to bed and fall immediately into deep
sleep and then go back to REM sleep and then back to light sleep and then back to deep, etc. What triggers these various states of sleep is unknown
at this time but research is ongoing.
To put this into language @MtGoat666 can understand, this un-Woken Nerd wears a flocking Fitbit Versa smart watch on my wrist 24/7. It automatically
measures my flocking sleep states and gives a nightly report on my flocking phone app when I get up in the morning. Last night I experienced:
- Awake = 9%
- REM = 30%
- Light sleep = 53%
- Deep sleep = 8%
It was a total chit show because this Nerd spent too much of my time in dream state counting flocking goats jump over the fence and awakened by the
flocking male frogs, in the pond in my backyard, crowing to attract flocking females! Yeah, what a total flocking chit show! Comprende amigo?

I was there a year ago around this time and it was open, still a good spot to grab a beer and lunch.
