I tried to reply to the pertinent thread but once I wrote out my post, I could not access the "submit" button. Am I banned or what? So I am trying again. Replying to Mainecoons about the frozen windmills: This is no time to be even subtly bashing Clean Energy. The reason that the windmills froze over in Texas is that they were not winterized as they are in normally cold climates. With global warming changes, people have to become more adaptable to recurrent extreme and unprecedented weather conditions which are not going to go away before they wreak havoc. https://www.texastribune.org/2021/02/16/texas-wind-turbines-frozen/ Below is a temperature variance map from January which shows the cause of the polar vortex splitting and moving abnormally south into the USA. This is caused by abnormal heat in the arctic region. As Texas freezes, remember that there have been severe wildfires in Siberia and Scandinavia above the arctic circle. Glaciers in the Himalayas have melted causing huge damage to a dam which resulted in widespread flooding in populated areas. Chunks of Antarctica are breaking off into the sea. And more...

It is off LaPaz in San Antonio. Go to 367 La Paz and look to the left and that street is Privado La Mora. Post office, Google, etc etc don't know where Privado La Mora is. It is a cul de sac street.

there is no free lunch!

We went in on the Macro this week and it´s worth the 96., if you are in a hurry. Came back through El Molino and Joco for Joco helado. The Tlajomulco road has lots of traffic, topes, and traffic lights.

Sounds like a load of B.S. to me...

Air passengers fined for submitting 'false or misleading' COVID tests after Mexico trip | CBC News Be warned. Don't travel. And if you must, don't be an idjit and then lie about it.

Sounds like the "videos" are a form of commericials. However, I don't impugn the good intentions of the OP.

It was a dog, but you know that. They are extremely aggressive and have very strong jaws and teeth. One attacked a Polar Bear, at a zoo, it crushed its throat and would not let go until it was dead. If our resident great white hunter of the north encountered one, he would crap his fancy leather pants.

Probably Badger. Only three seen in California. Two in Tahoe area and one SE of Bishop California in the Inyo mountains. I am the person who saw the wolverine in the edge of Death Valley/Inyo mountains near 395 highway about 15 years ago. We were driving down an old stage coach line in a gulley and right in the middle of the road was a wolverine. Luckily I had experience with them from my youth as the driver wanted to get out of the car and check him out. I grabbed him and closed the door as the wolverine attached our right front tire and the whole four runner shook. My friend thanked me over and over while I was stress laughing. We reported it to the state and they believed us as we had a picture to show. They told us this is as far as they go south.

At least Peter Kerkowhatz didn' send in picture of a wolverine he murdered!

Some up to date info on the variants transmissibility and severity: Why are the variants more transmissible? Your COVID-19 questions answered | CBC News

The WHO has unfortunately shown themselves to be incompetent at just about every stage of this pandemic. They are the last ones I'd go to for advice or guidance. The simplest explanations are generally the correct ones. Each time there have been lockdowns and restrictions, the cases fall dramatically. Happened in the spring, has happened since Christmas again. Everyone gets scared, the lockdowns happen, the cases fall in 6 weeks, and then most relax again. It is the last part that will be the big bugaboo this time with the variants due to how incredibly fast and easily they spread. I hope I'm wrong but pretty sure not.

Geez Lakeside 7, even people who live totally off grid like to have water and stay warm. Those two things are kinda non optional to survive.

What problem?

I got that the site would be "free". One thing that's a bit vague is: will commercials be on the site? If so, that's the rub.

Also propane engines don't need all the maint that a gas engine needs. Burns much cleaner also. Am in the process of putting in a 30,000 L. underground tank in my yard. Big truck to bring it in the yard luckily I have big gates. Hope to avoid water shortages during the late dry season. Propane generator is next.

Yes, there is hope and I'm glad that you are feeling more positive than ever. Having said that, we are not ANYWHERE CLOSE to being outa da woods! That's what some (uninformed and surely NOT the 'scientists') were saying early summer. Looked what happened in the Fall.... just as the 'scientists' said it would. And your comment about 'getting close to herd immunity' tells me that you for some reason just want to spread feel-good information that has no basis in fact. About 11% of the US population has received at least one shot. Some others who have already contracted the virus are thought, but not known, to now be somewhat immune. Herd Immunity takes 75-85% immunity and we don't yet know if the new stains are covered by the current vaccines. And there will be more strains. Herd immunity indeed!

.....AND, one already has a big A$$ tank sitting out in their yard!

Yes wrong....What possible problem??? There is NO problem with the amount, just that over a certain amount it has to reported. They take the mail to an unloading dock (I have been there) as there are 9 IShop stores in Jalisco, 2 Lakeside. 4 In Guadalajara, and 3 in P.V....PLUS small mail services around the country that use the IShop facility for US Mail delivery. You are really showing your ignorance about this issue as you have no idea how many packages, boxes, of art work and hundreds of other items that is shipped north to the US Mail and you say they are going to drop it into a "mail box".....Laughable!!! Wise up a little before you tell me I´m wrong, but really "me vale"

Chillin aka Gary Waller has proven many times on various web boards that his power of observations are somewhat fantasy oriented. In addition veracity is not his forte in the telling of many things.

You people are a hoot and very entertaining,especially since you think you're all right in all different directions- jajajajaja and SNORK!

Not the place for it. Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara This board is for people with interest in the Lake Chapala area and in moving to Mexico.

I think what you probably saw was a badger. They are somewhat similar and there are badger in Mexico. I don't think a wolverine would be this far south.

A year would be easy with irradiation. But that system scared too many people in this country. India uses it a lot. edit. this info is way out of date, irradiation of food is now widespread all over the world. https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2018/01/acceptance-use-of-food-irradiation-reached-new-levels-in-2017/

Gosh, it's worth it to me. The ride is usually quiet/relaxing until you hit Guad and it gets you relatively close to the "good" Costco. Plus, there are quite a few shops (Office Max, Home Depot, Petco) and restaurants on the way back. $5 for making this direction-limited driver easily get from Point A to Point B? A bargain!

Of your 4 examples above only one (#1) would seem to present a problem here. All the rest (and many more) can be expressed and debated openly here.

And that is completely your choice and right to do so. The site is to be used or not to be used on whether it is helpful and easy to use. But also free from any direct commercial bias. To be completely straight forward, I love being in Mexico, the people are great and the weather is awesome. But I find more often than not, difficulties finding services, products, and information. So all I am offering is to help, its up to you on whether you decide to take it.

Shipments to some hub distribution centers were halted in Texas for a few days and appointments re-scheduled. In some areas no problem. Resuming for week of Feb 15th now. Pfizer "We also have developed packaging and storage innovations to be fit for purpose for the range of locations where we believe vaccinations will take place. We have specially designed,temperature-controlled thermal shippers utilizing dry ice to maintain recommended storage temperature conditions of -70°C±10°C for up to 10 days unopened." The Pfizer thermal shippers, in which doses will arrive, that can be used as temporary storage units by refilling with dry ice every five days for up to 30 days of storage. https://www.dshs.texas.gov/news/updates/COVIDVaccineAllocation-Week10.pdf

Turkeys are NATIVE to Mexico.

I wonder how long the Pfizer vaccine can remain viable if the vaccination sites and storage facilities have no backup power generators to maintain the -70C temperatures. There could be millions of doses lost in the areas that have suffered the recent winter storm, particularly Texas.

To be expected both due to the weather / demand, and the fact that Texas in general has "0" (or negative) view of conservation. CFE charges MORE as you use more, to help the poor and underprivileged and encourage conservation. Texas does the opposite. Not a good practice IMHO.

The frozen turbines account for a very small part of the problem. "While ice has forced some turbines to shut down just as a brutal cold wave drives record electricity demand, that’s been the least significant factor in the blackouts, according to Dan Woodfin, a senior director for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which operates the state’s power grid."

Gee, that's exactly what the QAnon :() senator said. Do you believe in Jewish space lasers, too? Frozen windmills is not the reason given by those in charge of the energy grid.

There is a Charitable Events section, USE IT, as you've been told before. Stop posting here.

With all due respect, I am not trying to promote a business at all. In fact I am saying the exact opposite. To which I said I am not providing any commercial services. Only looking for feedback on a potential website that will compliment this existing site. if you read the posts, you will see that is the intent. Advice is offered freely, but advice only.

MODS, please shut this thread down, this has devolved into blatant commercial advertising. Northtek, with respect, take ads out if you want to promote your business.

Its tough volunteer job , volunteer expected to taste samples of Crema de Mezcal, chocolates, Goat cheese, ginger beer, cookies other vendor samples when we have tastings.

Mexico has reported 166,731 covid deaths after a year. Population of Mexico is 126,014,000. Death toll percentage is 166,731 x100/126,014,000 or .132 percent total in one year. Poverty increased by 12.6 million in 2020 largely due to government actions. How many deaths from that, do we know? What percentage had major contributing conditions of obesity, diabetes, pulmonary problems, very old age? Children have been kept out of school for nearly a year, what are the long term costs in poverty and death of that? Was the "cure" (which basically did not work) worth than the disease?
