Hey there. If by tomorrow I can reasonably launch my boat, I will have botas net some fresh ones and yes, I will eat a live one! Checked out the
ramp a few hours ago and I can safely say that I'll probably not be eating any sardina sushi manana or even thursday. But I wish I was actually going
to make that video instead and we had a functioning ramp.
Jerry. Where anywhere have I ever recomended anyone including myself break the law? I am taking measures that are legal. The business community
here is peeed and finally after all these years of being counterproductive against each other we're coming together.

Am I missing something here? I didn't see any post that advocated breaking the law, or any statement that said it was more noble to break the law...

Elizabeth,
You have to learn to read between the lines of these Nomad posts, a very tricky thing to do.

Jerry, I know these are extreme examples but at one time it was legal to buy and sell people as slaves in the United States and it was illegal for non
land owners and women to vote.
My point is that just because there is a law forbidding or allowing something doesn't always make that something reasonable and right.

And to really make my point, AT ONE TIME IT WAS ILLEGAL TO DRINK BEER IN THE UNITED STATES. Talk about stupid laws that I would have broken every day
with joy!!

Pam:
I'm glad to hear the merchants are getting together on the problems in Loreto. There IS strength in numbers.
I bet you will have more support from NOMADS than even you could imagine.

I recall reading in this wonderful book called "There Is A Word For It In Mexico" that there is a word "Chinga" that seems to describe this situation.
I love that book. It really helped me to understand a lot of the cultural differences I have experienced while visiting Mexico. Another Nomad
recommended this book to us.
I wrote a small paper that I posted on another site in which I recommended that people read this great book while they are obtaining their immigration
papers and going from this office to that office to that window and back to that office. I also recommended the same strategy, that is to read the
book in line as you get your fishing license.
We once had our umpteen thousand dollar Neurofeedback equipment blown up in a five star Hacienda on the mainland where we had our office. Act of God.
The ground wire was hanging in the air above the bolt it was supposed to be attached. Sometimes one just has to shake ones head, have a drink and
re-read "There Is A Word For It In Mexico".
Hope a little humor helps, sometimes it's all ya got!

Todays ramp update:
Just got back from the marina, they have all the rebar in place below the water line and have put dams up to hold the concrete. The upper portion
is still half done, but at least they are making progress.
Pam, It looks like you won't be eating any sardines. Im sure this makes the sardines happy too.

"because the law is the only thing that civilized people have"
So, so wrong. Respect for each other; the Golden Rule is what civilized people have. And a civilized society supposedly has their elected officials
to act in their stead for the good of the whole. Loreto is a fishing town and should be understood by those who make municipal decisions. Public
Works projects can be accomplished without too much disruption as is constantly done in a civilized society with elected officials. Proper
notification, alternative accommodations, not disruptive to commercial enterprises during high season. Jerry, something tells me you were once a
government employee.

Ramp update
New estimate for reopening is at ten days from today, Wednesday.
Also in the near future, a 12 dollar launch fee is to be inaugurated.

So you launch your boat 10 times in one year and you've paid probably something close to what the Loreto Bay owners are paying in annual property
taxes (mine are $102 per year on a new 1600 sqft beach house in TJ).
Buy hey, the town needs the money to process the chit flowing out of Loreto Bay. Afterall, Loreto Bay isn't paying for sewage treatment.
This is all out of whack.
