Five blocks from the water, we wouldn't trade it for any other

Cypress,
We have a lot of beautiful palms around us. And right out our back door is a nice old laurel de india.
From our front window we see mangos and tabachin.
And farther out the back is a very mature guamuchil. We took one of these out when we bought the lot, as Salvador thought it was too messy. We
wanted to be good neighbors

Woody in OB
I believe THIS is the Elation, as seen from our bedroom window yesterday. I think it's on its way to Cabo. BTW, for those of us who are geographically
challenged, what does "OB" stand for?

"Would you believe a convent?"
That's a pretty view Lencho. Do you live in a church, a monastery, or an orchard?

Here near Salvador's Cars we have norteno en la noche, campanas en la manana, and karaoke (yes, karaoke one neighbor's new hobby) in between.
We've learned to sleep through anything

You will have to imagine our view in Beaverton. Just picture it in your minds eye.........two story suburban houses, paved streets, sidewalks, clear
driveways (covenants), not a neighbor in sight, no children laughing or playing, or fighting for that matter, paper on the doorstep every morning,
enough pamphlets and bills in the mail to denude a small rain forest, lovely plantings, people who look strangly at you if you smile and say hello,
just saw Sicko yesterday and feel both sad, angry and ready to RANT....what the h... am I doing here????
The weather here in Oregon is wonderful this time of year. That provides some redeaming value as does the wetlands in our back yard.

No ocean, sadly. But even though the house is IN the U.S., we do have a view OF Baja California. That's it along the horizon. The tree line marks
the Colorado River (what's left of it below the Morelos Dam). The Algodones Dunes are just on the other side. Not a perfectly clear day, but through
the haze you can just make out the Sierra Cucupah above Laguna Salada. To the left (South) is Sonora.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Wow, that is an amazing photo!
So sorry, sad to see this sort of destruction.
Maybe suburbia ain't so bad. Think I'll make a Gin and Tonic and sit in the hot tub.
By the way, the mail arrived on time today too.

I spent the winter and spring working on my casita and it is now fully restored. The insurance company never paid. They refused to communicate. I have
the equivalent of a paralegal on it. She found a way to reach someone. They offered a settlement which i accepted (less than 50% of my claim). Then
they ceased communicating again.....not a cent.

What company? Y'all seen the publicity about ING lately? Check this sensationalist article.
--Larry |
Larry,
My Spanish is "fair" but I can't get the gist of the article on ING.
Can you paraphrase briefly in English?
I am withholding the name of the insurance company because, if there is any chance of getting payoff in the future I don't want to jeopardize it. Most
of the flood victims in Mulege were insured by this company because they had the lowest rates. True, "you get what you pay for", but I paid for
SOMETHING and have gotten NOTHING! Only those who settled in October got a very small settlement. My claim wasn't turned in until February because I
wasn't anywhere near ready before. I had to collect estimates and also receipts. My claim was very low because I wasn't able to anticipate all the
work and materials needed. It wasn't finished until April.
The adjusters stayed in the same motel as someone very prominent in matters of The Orchard. He apparently reviewed the claims with the adjusters and
debunked them. One of the adjusters disclosed this to a claimant as a reason for not settling. They were very intimidating and threatening. The
adjusters, by the way, are independent contractors, not employees of the insurance company. They are counting on the prospect of gringos giving it up
and just going away because it is just too difficult and seemingly futile. I am not going away, but I am running up a bill for time spent on an
"assistant" trying to get answers.
