"Tony, I would assume you will be lowering your price on your house and give full disclosure to any potential buyers.
I just saw it on a Mulege real estate web site that has it listed for $145,000.00 US"

Palmetto,
I put it up for sale at the same time as Pam and Randy, just after cleaning up from TS. John. I got scared. If it is still up on the Realtor's website, it is an old listing. I took the signs down before I left in May. It is NOT for sale. I fell in love with it all over again. My neighbors know this.

There was no market for it anyway. Oh, I would have taken the money and rebuilt in Mulege, like Pam and Randy did, and anyone else who loves Mulege. The point is, the house isn't going anywhere. It is solid. And, I am not going anywhere either.

The people I did show it to were, of course, given full disclosure by me. Nobody who knows me or meets me (even potential buyers) have ever questioned my integrity. So, what is your point, other than to continue to be nasty and and try to make someone who has experienced a rough time feel bad?

You can assume that you won't be invited in for a cerveza by me or my neighbors next spring. But you already knew that, didn't you.

By the way, in my last post I didn't call you out by name. I imagine it would be difficult for a troll to find shoes that fit, but I see you have managed.

Apologies to anyone else who is tired of the bickering. Yes, have I just contributed to that as a rebuttal, but I am done. That is why I haven't posted here for a couple of months, and I am done with this futile argument.

I do not live on a flooding river.
Even a hillbilly would be able to figure out that flooding rivers could be a problem.
Loreto floods and has been hit but no one in Loreto builds in or around an arroyo .

The only good thing to come out of this storm will be that any newbies interested in purchasing in Mulege might get the full disclosure on the river flooding potential that they are due.
There seems to be a lack of communication in that department in the hamlet of Mulege.:cool:

palmeto99, Many of the folks in Mulege impacted by Julio haven't fully recovered from John, maybe some of 'em will walk away, put their place on the market and move on, or possibly just abandon it. Others will clean up the mess and enjoy Mulege. If I was fortunate enough to have a place in Mulege, I'd clean it up and enjoy it.:)You want to talk about storms? I'm listening.:)

Toneart,

I just read in a previous post that Pam and Randy who you mentioned sold their place near you and rebuilt somewhere else. I also just read that their new home was high and dry.

Interesting. Sell the old place in the flood area and build a new place on higher ground. What a brainstorm that was.

Maybe when you and the rest of your friends get down there for your cleanup, you can ask Pam and Randy how they did it.

:cool:

It sure is a strange world we live in. For the first half of 2008, 290 Mexicans have died terrible deaths in the desert trying to cross the border into the US to escape from your paradise to get into our paradise.

One could even call them "pioneers".

palmeto99, You know all about Mulege River folk? :DHave you ever lived along the Mulege River?:)These guys have been hammered.They don't need to be kicked while they're down. How 'bout some encouragement? They're hanging in there and showing some serious backbone.:D

My Heart goes to all in Mulege who suffered yet another Loss.
I will be coming down the first week of Oct. and can bring some Items of Need. Please let me know via u2u/
Will be loaded with Warm clothes for the Kids out of Constitution,but will have some room.

Good Folks of Loreto. I started in Loreto in 1967, been to Mulege many times. Recently I came down and spent time in Mulege and came to like it very Much. It reminded me of Loreto 30 years ago, Good People, laid Back, good Fishing.

Loreto has been ruined for me due to the Idiot Americans and Canadians that have moved there in the past few Years.

It is strange that so many Odd Ball Nuts can survive among People who Love to Adventure, can accept a short term set back, recover and go on with their Life--Much better that the Whine, belly aching, no risk taking Mouthballs that can only Talk and can never DO! Anything but TALK!

God Bless you All!

Remember when you said no one deserves it? Well, you may wrong, again!

I'd put the storm plywood up there pretty soon there Palm. Who knows what's gonna happen in Florida. Where did you say your place was?:lol: Even saintly folks like yerself can be humbled. Believe it or not.


Still waiting for your answers to my simple questions. What, you can't play that game? Purely and thoroughly troll.

palmeto, what is your point? Nomads is about people who love and care about Baja and those who live here and visit. If you do not have anything postive to exchange and share....why are you here??

You have shown no care or compassion for the good people of Mulege. You have offered nothing in the way of positive words. Why do you attack behind the keys of your computer? Easy isn't it! You have been on this board a very short time....I could be mistaken, but you have more posts in your first 44 days as a Nomad than I have ever seen.

Why don't you just lay back awhile and chill. It could do you some good.

Dude- Give it a rest, por favor!!


Why bother??
10 posts on this topic,
all negative
critical
or personally offensive.

You need to find another campfire, pal!

Normally we would ignore you...
but this topic is too important to ignore,
so we have this "stuff" you keep pitching into the fire,

Go find someplace that you like (and where they like you)

Well he supposedly lives part time in Loreto. I wonder if he really likes Loreto, and if anyone there likes him? Can any Nomad speak up for this tormented soul?
