"... endless covid fear mongering and BS from the media and this board." You forgot to disparage Scientists, Doctors, health care workers, billions of concerned individuals and Government. Millions of deaths; tens of millions (soon to be hundreds of millions) of cases and you suggest Covid is an overexaggerated issue not worthy of strict support of preventative measures such as masks, social distancing and vaccines. You make fun of our concerns for safety. As the chief moderator on this board, a position of influence and responsibility, you use this platform to spread what I consider reckless innuendo. Today one in ten Americans have been affected, some with lingering conditions. Well over 600 thousand deaths. Think how many family members and friends are left behind to grieve and cope and yet you continue to trivialize the seriousness of the pandemic. This is not a game - first/ second amendment rights arguments, infrastructure bills - this is life and death as well as the recovery of world economies. SunFan

That's beyond callous and thoughtless. Do you realize how hard it is for handicapped people to get a job here?

There are at least TWO that are now available. One is the AstraZeneca and the other is the Johnson & Johnson. Of course Covid-19 can be successfully treated. That's why so many people are DEAD.

We have lost 8 healthy friends to Covid-19. You don't want to joke around with keeping away from people. All of them went to the INSABI Covid-19 hospital - one of the 3 federal government socialized medical system hospitals here in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. None of their family mentioned any medicines given - not that they were not given any - only that they were on ventilators. 3 in one family - the son and 4 days later the father and 3 days later the wife, two in another family - the mother and 10 days later the son, our close friend, after 12 days in the hospital and two others, one close friend of my wife a Dr. the other the husband of my wife's friend and one of my sister in laws - I have 6 here - her and her husband were fighting it at home and she is over it after 2 months of being very sick. Both were on oxigen concentrators and a heart surgeon friend attended to them with medicines. I find bobby brown malicious in his numerous lies and anti-compassionate and he disgusts me.

I want to make a point that often when drivers stop to allow a pedestrian to cross the Carretera they may create a dangerous situation. I know that people mean well but they have no control over the traffic coming from the other direction, nor a possible crazy driver deciding to pass on left or even right. From my perspective, riding a mobility scooter, where I cross at a crossroad I must beware of traffic from 4 directions and be cautious of how I approach the slope onto cobblestones to avert tipping over. My reason for posting this today is an occurrence fresh from this morning. A driver to my left stopped for me to cross with a line of cars behind him and a large amount of traffic streaming from the right. I waved him on but he did not budge. I tried again but the response was to lower his window and put his hand out to try stopping the oncoming traffic. A this point I was shaking my head - no - and waving furiously for him to move on. Still he stubbornly remained. I finally convinced him of my seriousness by backing up and heading off down the bicycle path. The moral of this story is, that although it is a kindly action to stop for pedestrians, bear in mind that you have no control over the actions of other drivers and you could create a dangerous situation by stopping; especially if the pedestrian feels obliged to your kindness or garners a false sense of security and steps into moving traffic. Mind you I have been assisted to cross by some bus drivers who pull across the road blocking all traffic but that is a different story.

I understand it gets applied when convenient, and ignored when not. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

Speaking of misinformation from the BS media, here is an idea:

Yep jerk.

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

There will be interviews at the Chapala 7/11 this friday starting at 11 a.m. That is all the information I was given so please don't ask for details. Remember this is Mexico!

I remember as recent as a half a million years ago Florida was under water. I was there. That Was before evil Republicans roamed the earth. The earth is always changing and will always change nothing man do can stop it. The Big Lebowsky is a classic. I loved it.

Looks like you have connections for miracles Ventusky was developed when the guys handling collecting data for making weather models decided to make the data available for free. Sadly the altitude adjustment for winds has been removed along with temp altitudes. Oh well its free. https://www.ventusky.com/

True story...Save the Lake was the group and lots of ferners contributed lots of pesos to "save the lake", lol. Couple of years later the "dying lake" inundated the Ajijic park and they had a do-over there.

Available now at your local tienda: New masks used to avoid having to listen to endless covid fear mongering and BS from the media and this board. Only sold in quantities of 100 or more due to unprecedented high level of need.

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.

Is this an American document or Mexican? If it's an American document, my sister can get it done for you. Her name is Selecia Young-Jones and she's a certified Notary out of Jacksonville, FL. She is able to legally notarize documents remotely using the relatively new technology (Remote on-line Notary) known as RON and has assisted many folks lakeside since the pandemic. She has also done several Apostille documents for folks needing them done in the U.S. You can contact her using WhatsApp at 904-333-7311 or her email at: rainbownotaryandnuptials.com Hope this helps you.

Are they from a lab, by chance?

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

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?

The cartoon would have been better if it was grandma, not mama.

Folks this ain't rocket science.

Fish and chips is about as natural to Mexican chefs as poutine.

Really not a good idea to feed wildlife, it creates a dependency and distortion in populations. We have plenty in our yard.

The Delta strain first appeared in India where they were using ivermectin instead of getting vaccinated. Do we really want to follow India’s example? your senility may be a sign of COVID-19. Have you been tested?

Go to the owner and explain what happened and threaten the waiter to return the money or you will denounce him. If he does not press charged against him at the MP:

The worst players in this international fiasco are the big pharma companies. There are billions at stake here, and this is war. False stories, innuendo, hinted facts - the whole enchilada, all is fair. I worked for one of the first public relations specialists in Canada before such a word existed. A brewery was fighting a rumor that it had been purchased and was now run by an unpopular racial minority (India Sihks, who do not drink). Big fight, lots of commercials, but that and one month of lost sales hurt them. My boss had so many media contacts. It was amazing. I have even been on CBC TV !

Ivermectin has been used in India in a very limited way just as vaccination has because they don't have near enough for all those people. To blame Ivermectin for Delta is pretty ignorant. Go research the literature, you will find that view is not supported much. Ivormectin is not a cure as has been explained all over the place but rather ameliorates the symptoms by interfering with the damage the virus does, not the virus itself. The Delta strain is a natural evolution that MAY have been accelerated by widespread vaccination. Key word is "may." The literature says it is the result of huge super spreader events in India. People are so jammed together in that country it is a miracle they haven't have a real pandemic there that would kill 25 percent or more. As has been noted in the literature, Flu viruses evolve naturally and quickly which is why there are new flu vaccines every year. We get flu shots every year. When the currently in process non mRNA vaccines are tested and made available for covid, we will get them. Despite the efforts of the true believers to denigrate the growing number of voices, including the originator of mRNA that question the safety of these still experimental "vaccines" every day we are see more evidence that "haste makes waste." The personal insulting here just illustrates how weak some of your arguments are. Not that long ago most of you were parroting the CDC party line about Ivermectin, Hydroxy, and the origin of covid. Lot of egg on your faces, go look in the mirror. Both have been proven in actual use by real doctors, not bureaucrats or ideologues. Bottom line for us is covid is treatable, it has been done successfully in our immediate family, thousands of practicing physicians have treated it successfully, and, guess what, off label uses of pharmas are common and have often led to great cures or improved treatment outcomes. And another fiction is the young are vulnerable to covid. They are far more likely to be victims of child trafficking than they are of covid. Stop chanting slogans like a bunch of religious fundamentalists, develop a little skepticism and start researching what is going on in places where it can be reported without media censorship and distortion.

Wow great opportunities for many of this group who seem to have plenty of time to spare......

neither work-easy enough for you?

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.
