  1. KN95 is a Chinese standards mask. N95 is a US standards mask. Both are the same efficiency but the Chinese mask can be a little bit harder to breath compared to the US standard. (I can't tell the difference) Surgical masks are just as good as the KN or N type mask with the virus. This is do to the viruses large size compared to other viruses. A surgical mask is much easier to breath with in my opinion. Surgical masks are not so good with other hazards compared to a K or KN type mask.. Cloth single layer masks are about 50% efficient. Multiple layers are a little bit more efficient. Some of this depends on the cloth. Yes the cloth masks look nice especially if decorated but the K or KN or Surgical masks are much safer. Please note cloth masks are fine for eliminated the spray from a sneeze or cough so they have a place. I find the double layer cloth to be restrictive in my breathing so I went back to surgeons masks. My efficiency numbers come from a study I read where they tested how restrictive and how effective different mask technology were. If this seems like a lecture I apologize but it is good info to the best of my knowledge. My background is Engineering. Every day I walk 10 miles a day wearing a mask and find the surgical mask easier to walk with especially on the hills. I huff and puff a little more going up the hill with a K or KN type mask. Please everyone be careful. The stories I can tell you from my family in Seattle are very very sad indeed. Good Luck!!

  2. I wonder if he realizes he is driving past one Home Depot to get to another. He actually should consider forgetting the Periferico and use the Jocotopec libramiento to get to Lopez Mateos Sur.

  4. What 'surgical masks' Pete. This discussion is about mask 'brackets' that some put inside of masks. N95 is an OSHA standard; Kn95 is a 'similar' Chinese standard and Trump would not want you wearing one of those. 🤐

  5. I want to go to the 'new' Home Depot on Lopes Mateos South but I need help. Starting at the Periferico and heading south on Lopes Mateos where is the new store? Is it on the right side going south, or the left (Costco) side? How far down from the Periferico is the store? As far as Costco? Where does one exit? If it is on the right side where do you get over onto the lateral and can you see the sign from the highway? I tried Googling the stores but the new one is not shown on the map yet. Thanks for your help.

  7. Yes Rick you are right and I made that common mistake. As I am challenged in so many aspects of life especially with computer and hand held devices I try to opt for the simplest and paths of least resistance as possible. My wife uses our Voice Over Internet Protocol. Never heard of that before but see I learned something today. She calls her sister in Mexico City on it. I think I have used that phone about 3 times in the last 8 years. It really comes in handy when she calls me when I walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain on my yearly pilgrimages. I get a Spanish SIM card and she can call me without additional charges wherever I am in Europe. I can't call her except of WhatsApp. If I have bad wifi or data I just text her. By the way for a month of service in Spain I pay 20 Euros and get 80 minutes of calls which I barely use and 15 gigabytes of data. I use that alot more. It is a great deal. You can get plans with more minutes and less data but that is what works for me. Just in case you are traveling to Spain anytime soon😀

  8. Telcoman - difference is between minimum wage and UMA; do you know for sure if they have implemented the UMA? Big difference between UMA (86.88) and minimum wage (123.22) Most consulates are still using the minimum wage as the base.

  15. I guess I don't get it but I admit I don't care much for modern music but than I listen to Wagner. It seems like more melodic Phillip Glass to me. But hey what do I know about the modern music scene.

  17. THANK YOU "UPFRONT" WHERE DID I SAY WE WERE GOING TO EAT "in" a RESTAURANT? I, too, dislike animals in restaurants, especially birds,, cats and giant dogs, or multiple tiny pups! Did you ever think I was planning on takeout? What difference is it to anyone what I call myself or my puppy? This website has become SO snarkey. I was just tying to connect with someone in a similar situation and I get verbally abused for that! Thank you, the few who understand!
