You can't win an argument by just making up facts.


Wrong. They [?] have built a desal plant. The question mark is "Who be They?" A lot of work was done out there before the word got out about the current development. I'm not sure the progress to date was done by the Woods group.
I would question the reported damage done by the plant as there's no reason to have it operating yet, other than construction and I don't see that happening now.
Damage to anything out there could be attributed to the fish pens and all the waste dropped on the ocean floor under them. They say the floor looks like the moon, devoid of anything alive.

Mexipep - even if the course is built, trust me, you'll never get to see it, let alone play it.

I didn't realize that we were having an argument. Thought it was a discussion. Your choice of terms speaks volumes.

Agreed...


Now that's exactly why I signed the petition. There's no question that in the short run, many jobs will be created for Mexicans during the construction phase. But way fewer jobs after the project is completed. And by that time, this project offers almost no boost to the local economy. OK, there will be those out there who will raise the supplies and provisioning aspect. However, as this is envisioned as a really high-end project, I would guess that most of the supplies, at least where human consumption is involved, will be imported.

Even the billionaires are pulling it in. The worldwide recession is impacting even the most well healed.

Punta Brava, I wouldn't bet a carna taco lunch that it will see the light of day.

I hope they have ADA ramps at Sharkey's because we will need the access by the time that project gets off the ground.

Everybody? Dennis, I know you're a veteran of the area, and Sharkey's is a fine watering hole. But we were a group of five last summer for dinner, and several of our party were feeding the food to the cats. How anyone could make inedible fish tacos still astounds me. Not that everyone ordered the same.

Why are you ordering fish tacos in a restaurant? Look what Rubio's does to them.....BLECH. You should be getting them from a stand that serves nothing else.
Anyway, their food is usually good. Sorry you had a bad time. [Did the cats live?]

One order of fish tacos. Four orders of chateaubriand. You'll have to ask the owner.:spingrin:
