In La Paz you have to have a permit to have a tope, and they have to meet certain spec's. Comitan has many but after the grading this week I think we
will have none.

It should be!! We live mid-block on a one block section of dirt street. Several cars a day seem to pass our house at over 40, oblivious to kids,
dogs, and pedestrians. I'm thinking about asking the army guys for some ofthat wicked braided plastic rope.

Years back when I lived in Ensenada, nobody would slow down around our neighborhood so, I made stop signs just like the real ones. I put them up
here and there and a few are still standing after fifteen years. It slowed down the traffic and every now and then, somebody would actually stop
but, that's a lot to ask for anywhere in Mexico,

I thought everybody in Baja observed Stop signs. It's only the traffic lights that they ignore. Seriously.

That's right. In Mexico, "Stop" means, "Stop looking at signs like this."

After living here for many years and driving the Mexican way, it's kind of fun to drive around with some American or European visitors and scare the
living daylights out of them buzzing through stop signs.

Regarding the suggestion of roofing nails: they could be too effective. You may end up with unwanted guests at dinnertime who are out of cold cerveza.

Regarding spectator sports, racing, any and all ball games etc., would just as soon watch cartoons with the sound off.
