So then, people should stay your of New Orleans, Jersey City and Fresno? Since you are an expert, would you take us through the "common sense" thing
on how and where you go to keep safe? Explain it step-by-step to us ignorant people. Say, for example, you are getting your mail at Rene's in Rosarito
and a truck pulls up and blocks you off, a man gets out and puts a gun to your head and steals your car, wallet and papers. What common sense things
would you have done that would have prevented that?
Please be specific because I am going to write it all down. |
oh Puhlease... if bad things like that ever happened in Rosarito, we would have read about it in the papers.

In all my years, I've known, and even been married to people who seem to have a fixation about the ocean. I also must reveal that my father was a
lifelong mariner, first in WWII and thereafter in the US Merchant Marine. That all said, what is the big thing about water? I'll admit that coming
over Kingsbury Grade into the Tahoe basin makes me feel tingly. But it's not the ocean.

I realize you've made your decision and made your move to Baja, but you seem to spend an inordinate amount of time here trying to rationalize your
decision. For the record, less than 3% of the land area of the US is dense, urban use land. You don't have to move to Baja to find quiet, there is
still the other 97% of the US. And if you think Mexico is quiet, you must be stone deaf. Mexicans are one of the noisiest friggin people on the
planet. Anybody who has lived there for more than 24-hours can attest to that. They have absolutely no respect for their neighbors when it comes to
noise and carry on at all hours of the day and night.
...and the next time you are sitting in your doctors office reading magazines about the marriage rate of US males, you should probably ask yourself
why you drove up to the US to go see the doctor. |
Ain't that the truth

------the CA desert (both high and low) and Arizona, Utah, Western Colorado and New Mexico, Wyoming, southern Idaho, western Oregon, and any other
parts of the arid western USA that I have left out-------it's all good. 
The main problem I have with the Ocean is that I am allergic to humidity, and am always totally plugged up when near the Sea.

Thanks, used to live and work in those areas among a few others that aren't listed too...
I deal with a "plugged" thing too.. The desert does give one relief..
I like it all, but I can't take the heat very well anymore.. parents were from Phoenix, mom used to live in Mesa then got tired of all the desert and
now lives in VA... says she likes the green.. my sister who lives there two.. uses some kind of "blue light" to deal with being depressed, as there is
not many days of "sun" clouds are in their world pretty much all the time.. grey sky's can get to one also
Thanks.. just woundered which one, as each has a "thing" going on.. have enjoyed deserts also.. have always loved the "smell" when it rains.. plus the
light shows aren't too bad either

--------the "smell" of the desert after a light rain is to die for!!!!!!! Few things beat it.
Good comments, Wesson---------------If you know Redding, CA, you KNOW that heat does NOT bother either my wife, nor I. It is REALLY hot in Redding
during the summer (110 often). Before that, we lived in El Centro (115 often)
------luv that heat!!!!!

Yep, you gotta love some place where it gets so hot there is no "lift" for some types of aircraft... used to work in El Centro... oh my.. thought my
leg was only to catch fire one day waiting for a green arrow to make a left turn on to 86 in Brawley.. had been up to Calipatria.. my car did not have
air.. and it was not very comfortable sitting still.. it was well over 115º... worked in Ag... also used to get up to Redding too.. and yes it does
get hot there also.. but it's a dry heat  
You take it easy

just let me know when it's safe to leave the house and go pick a copy up. They used to have it at the CESPT office- but that's next to the police
station. I do visit the AFN site.
Do you think tourists heading south can get a copy of Ecos in their hands to help them time their visit between carjacking crime waves and the lobster
season? The on-line version is kinda weak- the Policiaca section posts no crime reports at all but does give kudos to the "turn you neighbors in
anonymously" program".

Scared?
I could always pick up a copy and deliver it.
If I can get a police escort.

Para ello, el Presidente Municipal Hugo Torres Chabert encabezó una reunión la tarde del 10 de febrero, en la que dio a conocer que hará una gira
oficial a China del 4 al 12 de marzo, donde promoverá los proyectos de desarrollo inmobiliario e industrial rosaritenses, invitando a empresarios para
que presenten propuestas.
Igualmente informó Torres Chabert que parte del esfuerzo por el Ayuntamiento para impulsar la mejor imagen de Rosarito será la realización de visitas
también oficiales a Los Angeles, Santa Ana, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Phoenix, y San Diego, en lo que resta del gobierno, para lo cual se cuenta con
el apoyo de los consulados de México en el vecino país. |
An all expense paid vacation in China for Hugo. What a deal. These people have no shame.
