On the Mexican news they interviewed TJ cab drivers upset that the price of gas went UP by 40 pesos this week while going down stateside.

Why must you distort the news so much?  |
Sorry. 4 pesos. The point is gas is getting more expensive here when they just said they were going to stabilize the price, lower electircit rates
for businesses and decrease natural gas by 10% for everyone. Or was that distorted? |
Since you ask "Or was that distorted?" Yes, it was. The price went up .40 ¢, that is mexican cents and today at about 14 pesos to 1 dollar it
translates to .02857 ¢US and at 3.785 liters to a gallon the increase in dollars was .1081 US cents in each gallon.
A well informed Baja California traveler is a smart Baja California traveler!

Less than 11 cents? San Diego's gas has gone up more than that the past few weeks so I guess it is no big deal...

It appears that was .10+ CENTS not dollars.
So, not less than 11 CENTS, a little over 1 CENT per gallon.

"Uno de los acuerdos es que seguirán las ejecuciones que ya estaban “pendientes” y que son secuela de otros casos de “ajustes de cuentas”, pero no
habría asesinatos adicionales.
"
translate that and then put it in your hat and smoke it! these "people" can't be trusted.
to be continues on the 30th during the third meeting of the hummer driven minds, as the agreement is described as "fragile and can be broken at any
time due to some recent murders" by some sources. 
Mexican history sure is a page turner and these current events add more juice to the continuing saga. yeesh.

Dennis, I can't recall ever having attacked you on any issue. I apologize for that oversight and lack of respect for the sacred traditions of this
forum. I hope this makes amends...
"ya'll" is a contraction of "ya" and what? The simple and entirely grammatically correct contraction of "you" and "all" is spelled "y'all". Only an
ignorant yankee would be guilty of such gross misplacement of the apostrophe.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Oil is still hovering around $35 per barrel, yet the price I pay in central Orange County has risen 22 cents in the past ten days. Refinery
manipulation. I remember when it was over $4 a gallon and everyone was crossing over to buy gas in Mexico. I was unfortunate, coming back from down
south, running on fumes, stopped in at a Pemex near Otay and they had two sets of prices. I actually paid more for Pemex than it was selling for on
the U.S. side. But I really didn't want to run out sitting in the line.

For some reason that made me think back to when I was just a dumb little gringo sitting in grade school back in the early 60's. They taught us about
the space program and how by the year 2000 we'd all be getting around in flying cars.
I am still waiting...

You didn't watch Blade Runner? The sixties, huh. Bought my first new car while in college. 1967 Camaro with the bumble bee stripe. Cost me $2750
cash. What was that about inflation?

Speaking of PRI at least they did not have the issues of these NARCOS doing what they are doing now. If you killed a PRI official or cop your mama,
your mama's mama and anyone even remembering you would be killed in retailiation. During PRI control had some ventures into areas that now would get
you an 80 to 20 chance of coming out of ok without even a thought of trouble to me. Yes,Yes PRI did some awful thing and change needed to happen yea
yea yea so they tell me, just saying sometimes maybe were want change we think is for the good and bam it was only for the worse. Boils down to "Show
Me The Money" and I will show you what is right and what is wrong and as we all have learned one way or another "Money Is Always Right Never Wrong,"
just ask the other Cartel here in the States called Wall Street and Banks  . Later amigos, bajafun777

It was called keeping order. Maybe not totally freedom friendly. Seemed to work. Kinda like Sadam Hussein kept order in Iraq.
