Pedro you don't have to always be a jerk when you disagree with someone. Its just not needed or wanted.

Again you are lying just like you did try about the fishing trip and member sunfan who was on the trip called you out . Your personal attack which I laugh in your face about amuses me just like the many others you have tried. I took punches and gave them too as well as shooting the boot in my youth as an individual and in a street gang in Parkdale. I did not hide from the violent drunk and wife abuser but hired body guards while the local police tried to find him, to protect my wife and I when we went out. His wife finally had enough and divorced him. She was wife # 5. Does it make you happy that you have now also insulted my very worried wife who took his threats seriously?

Mexico is no stranger to drought. Lake Cuitzeo has an even worse shallow water situation than Chapala. It is like a giant evaporating pan over much of its area. Only one of the causes listed is due to nature, the rest due to too many people engaging in too much wasteful irrigation, pollution and other bad management. Pretty typical of people. From the time I was 20 to now the population on earth has doubled. They may still be eating for the most part but the collateral damage is piling up. In the end, that is what will cause a great die off IMO. Just too damn many people. Individually we may be intelligent to varying degrees but collectively we are no better than that old test tube experiment where you put a few bacteria in a test tube full of rich broth (resources) and they breed until they exhaust their environment and completely die off.

Now is when the high numbers from April-June decline. Where they go who knows. Depending on the type they come and go. The largest numbers here seem to be Violet Crowned which stay high year round but whose numbers are much higher in April-June. Also Broad billed increase in those months. Right now most common are Violet crowned, Broad Billed and Berylline. Rufus are here a couple of weeks a year on their migration from Oaxaca to Alaska. Bumble Bee, Black Chinned, Sparkling Tailed Woodstar, are seasonal as well. A Broad Billed male on my finger. Violet Crowned, Broad Billed, and Berylline enjoying a meal together

We have many in backyard.....some are offspring that hatched in nests hanging from bougainvillea. We don't put out feeders---enough natural nectar from flowers.

Book em Danno?

Okay, Mainecoons moderator, you may not like me, and I sure can't stand you, but why let THIS kind of BS run rampant? What does this attitude contribute? How does it make our lives better? Where does the constant hatred and trolling fit in with the concept of this board?

According to their website they are open 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm closed on Wednesday’s .

Sure hope it rains tonight. The Ajijic Weather station has measured more than 11 inches so far this month which is the highest for the month of July since 2013 when we had 13.2 inches for the full month of July. It would be fun to see the lake almost full again like it was in the olden days, you know, the 1970s and to a smaller degree in 2018. GOSH I just made it to the rank of Explorer as a result of the above post. I sure wish I knew what that means

This report tells the story of Lake Cuitzeo, with an area around 1/3rd the size of Lake Chapala located about 275 km east from here, which today is 70% dry. The story highlights a number of contributing factors -- dry weather, pollution, expanding cities, poor water management, the lack of infrastructure needed to collect and preserve rainfall. Can it happen here?

...AND it works equally well to guard against folks here and otherwise who insist they and only they know what somehow science has missed. Works really well in the US South where 85-90% of the current hospitalizations from Covid are the.... UNVACCINATED!

Yep jerk.

Tell us when you are going to bless our Malecon. I will cut 20 or so bamboo poles for your welcoming parade. So you an anti vaxer, visiting us from a city, which has more Covid infections than Guadalara, Mexico's second largest city. Why don't just leave us alone. Save yourself some bruises and possibly save some lives. The Sheriff.

The lake goes up and down. Since Chapala is a natural lake controlled by nature as opposed to a reservoir with a dam controlled by man, it should continue to do as is has for possibly millions of years. https://www.ceajalisco.gob.mx/contenido/chapala/chapala/niveles.html

Are they from a lab, by chance?

You must have got punched out a lot growing up, or did just run away and hide like you did from Jim Wilson? You still remind me of Lil Donny in the Big Lebowsky. Warning some bad language

Folks this ain't rocket science.

The Lake Chapala garden guide says to pick them when full sized, but not soft.

Took six years with seed, I pick avocados from Sept to Feb, they ripen off the tree I trim my tree every year keep about 18 ft high but very wide. This last year tree 10 years old produced over 120 avocados

Did I say the texture is the same??? YOU tell me where you can get something closer to the real thing here!!!

We can handle the truth. It's the insane, off-the-wall bullshit that we're sick of. Buh bye. You're blocked.

The leaves of avocado that are used in the Mexican cooking are the leaves of the tree that bears very small fruit and the entire fruit is eatable skin included, it has a slight anise flavour. You do not use the leaves of the tree that is in the picture. I also have an advocado tree and my dogs take care of eating all the fruit that drops.. They fight over the advocados. We harvest some fruit but very little in comaraaison to what it produces.

My concern for your friends about the hotels near the airport, while acceptable places to stay, would be the likely very-early-morning sound disturbances from the neighboring rooms and corridors, as probably a lot of hotel guests prepare to check out and catch very-early-morning flights from GDL. If they we my friends, I might rather arrange for a trusted driver from lakeside to pick them up and drop them off at the new hotel almost all the way into Chapala on the hill across from Chapala Haciendas -- the HS HOTSSON Smart Chapala? I imagine it would be more quiet and serene there, allowing for a better night's rest into a later morning hour after getting to bed so late. Traffic from the airport at 1:00 am should be extremely light, ensuring a speedy transport to the hotel in under 30 minutes, I am guessing. You could then easily pick them up late morning after they've had a decent night's rest for a proper welcome and introduction to Lake Chapala. Of course, they could always go all the way to your place, though I doubt my friends would want to impose on me at such an hour. Just an alternative thought.

I would add that they will not ripen on the tree; therefore, you have to pluck them. Eventually on the tree they will harden and go bad or be pecked to death.

They are in town!

Don't know the answer to that. I did think they had more than one house.

So now the National Guard is part of the military along with Mexican Defense Secretary General Salvador Cienfuegos who AMLO brought back to Mexico in a heartbeat from the US after his arrest on drug charges. Cienfuegos knows where the bodies are buried. Move along, nothing to see here.

I'm holding my breath while you seek investors.

You know nothing of the RCMP operations with an erroneous statement like this. And yes I do know, having friends and overseeing the detachment that served Millet, Alberta where I was a politician. Do you not remember that part of applying for a Mexican visa other than tourist, was an RCMP report on you?

Definitely the right attitude to get things done. I am reluctant to name my contractor on this board because by and large I don't see this attitude forthcoming.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A PRETTY GOOD QUESTION

Believe it or not I don't have time to baby sit every single thread on this board. I've told you and others a thousand times to PM me or another moderator if you think a thread has gone toxic. So either do that or stop complaining. Closed.

Pedro. If your wife is insulted, please ask here to accept my apology. I'm sure she wishes you were banned, yet again, stay away from your poison spewing keyboard. My wife is the same way,but more something about " fighting in your own weight class" Still, you should be the one embarassed, that she thought you were incapable of defending them from a bald, chemo emaciated, and dying victim of cancer. That is the core of my "beef". Plus you very wrongly implied that the son WAS a babykiller and coward. Jim was very generous to his son and his son 's family. He left them a beautifully restored 1960's car, and got them enrolled into a program which builds housing for handicapped veterans. They got a new house. His ex wife got nothing, that is the way with some men. Ask Angus.

I would respond the same face to face in a debate and that is reality and calling a spade a spade, not jerkism[sic]. If you feel that YOU don't need it or want it ,don't read it. I don't sing kumbaya but if that's your thing, go right ahead. pedro kertesz

Not interested in the Colorado River infrastructure because I live here which has absolutely no relation to that and won't get into hand wringing about a place I have called home for 15 years which has billshyte constantly flying around about it. The OP's point and yours are not valid,just more useless negative shyte. Since you're from Quebec,I'm surprised that you haven't mentioned Montreal and other towns dumping raw sewage into the St. Lawrence if your going to post irrelevant issues to us here.

because I don't appreciate stupidity -- let's break it down, Andy; the so called vaccine not only does not work, it is dangerous-- Andy; it's not that I don't like you; its that I just don't care---people are in trouble and they are too scared to admit it--

What ever works is better than what Big Pharma has done to ruin our lives just for the almighty dollar--10's of thousands of lives have been ruined and lost, so they can play god-will big pharma stop the slaughter?-NO; not yet; they are not through wringing every last dollar from us--and the best part is these jab companies are free of liable--what a sweet deal that is---HA I hear that Pizer has produced another 250 million jabs just to finish off--OH; and the buyers remorse is going to be "Biblical"-we have fires ; disease; wars; drought; floods; all that is left is the locusts and more;-where famine will happen !
