In San Diego and Coronado back in the 50's and on, we had beach tar from the Navy ships, it was said------never did know if that was true. We sure
had a good time, anyway, but yes we had to use kerosene to clean our feet quite often.
We also had soot on our cars in Coronado if we left them out-----the soot was from the Navy airplanes overhead, we understood. I minor inconvenience
when compared to what the Navy provided for Coronado--------never heard anybody complain, but then Coronado is a Republican town to this day.

But fortunately, they have been represented in Congress by Democrats --- before Susan Davis, and now Scott Peters --- that is a good thing. 
A few years back, one of the leaders of the Ejido in Bahia Asuncion told us there was interest in leasing a large piece of the Ejido land for an oil
refinery --- out near the San Roque area! I hope that is a dead horse.

We sold the beach house (3010 Sandy Lane, If I recall correctly) about 1964-1965 (after the tidal wave evacuation signs were posted in front of our
home following the Alaskan earthquake)... By the time I was in Jr. High, we lived outside of Escondido and I went to Valley Center School for 7th and
8th grade... Orange Glen for high school (Class of 1976).

WHAT????? Tell me that is not so! I have many friends in Coronado, and now my sister lives there too, and they all say "Coronado is still a
Republican town". You can't trust ANYBODY anymore!!! It's SO confusing!!!

It is true my friend, http://scottpeters.house.gov/about/our-district
Before Coronado was included in the Susan Davis District.
Scott did not win by a lot, but he was running against Brian Bilbray --- so that helped.

And of course the oil drilling technology has not changed since the 50's in some folks mind.
The reality is that the 27th amendment in Mexico is being changed to allow foreign investment for oil exploration and allow Pemex to become a public
oil company.

Really....did we not have a major disaster just a few years back?! I guess if you pretend it didn't happen, then it didn't.

Getting Tarred by the Navy ?
Probably not.
That Beach Tar is pretty thick. Like Crude and unlike processed products.
Although, when I worked at Bethlehem Steel, we used some SAE 400 Gear Lube on the open gear-trains of the overhead Cranes.
Doubtful that the Navy ships did, though.
Speaking of the Navy at Coronado, when we moored our sailboat at the Port District "Embarcadero" (Laurel Street) mooring, we would often just before
dark, notice a sheen of oil streaming "seemingly" from the Navy docks. Given the consistent T.O.D. of such "streams", there was the suspicion that
they were not accidental discharges.

this is interesting, but the truth is that as technology and progress moves ahead, so do civilizations ( people ) folks who won't consider this
progressiveness ( nowadays ) are the same folks who want people to live in the stone age, makes little sense to me. Oil is the lifeblood of prosperity
right now, obviously they are not proposing 1960's technology but jeeez, look at how far we have come. Not thinking the SOC is in any danger, but,
given the economic benefit to all of mexico, this is a no brainer for the vast majority of the growing middle class I.E. jobs, energy, growth that
could benefit the northern hemisphere, have mexico, us and canada become what NAFA's concept was all about. I know I will be villified for this post,
but, the truth and reality are always easy targets

Agreed. The deep ocean rift caused by the separation of two earth plates that created the Sea of Cortez makes it unlikely to have any oil in my
opinion as well. Perhaps the area around the mouth of the colorado, near san felipe, but probably not.
