Does anyone have a contact number for Jorge?  Thanks

We just got back from GDL.  Used the macro to come home from Costco.  It was clear the whole way.

We have found them in Soriana close to the entrance near the bbq stuff.

We didn't go inside so couldn't tell you

We were told this morning that they did not have electricity.

The Smokehouse is closed on Wednesday.  You should be able to order today.

While walking in upper La Floresta this morning, we found a BTE SIE hearing aid in the street.  It will be turned in to the office. 

As a regular client, they are there and were open yesterday.

To answer the where question, there is one in Ajijic near Plaza Montana on the mountain side of the carreterra.  There is also one in Chapala.

The Govenor’s long anticipated speech from last night on opening some businesses, published in La Voz de la Ribera. It’s basically a two-week test to see how we do. In two weeks it could get stricter or open up more, it depends on us.

Jalisco Governor Announces Opening of Some Businesses Next Monday.
BY CANO ON MAY 14, 2020

With the start of the so-called Phase 0 the Governor of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro Ramirez, that on Monday May 18 there will be economic revival of some activities.

The Governor of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro, announced this afternoon that on Monday, May 18th, Phase 0 of the Jalisco Plan for Economic Reactivation will be launched, which will allow the gradual return of some economic activities and is the first step in the preparation of protocols for the following phases of the plan.

Alfaro Ramirez clarified that the start of Phase 0, which will last at least 15 days, does not mean a return to normal social life and activities in all productive sectors, since an increase in mobility or flow of people in the city with disorder could trigger the epidemiological pattern and delay the Reactivation Plan.

"We have not passed the test," said the state president, who added that the plan can be implemented because Jalisco is currently ranked 29th in the nation out of 32 states in terms of active infections per 100,000 inhabitants, and to date has a 10% occupancy rate in its hospital infrastructure.

"I want to explain to you what Phase 0 implies. First, for the industries that had not been considered as essential and that are linked to supply chains, they will be able to start the implementation of this phase, once they have the established protocols and will be able to operate at 50 percent of their capacity, that is, the essential industries continue working, those that were catalogued as non-essential, that are part of supply chains, will be able to start operation at 50 percent of their capacity, and we will establish specific protocols," detailed the president.

He added that for "commerce, what we are going to do is that those who handle products allowed in essential establishments, that is, if there were allowed to be supermarkets, hardware stores, convenience stores of the big chains, well, what we are going to do is that what was sold there, can also be sold in the small stores, in the neighborhoods or in the colonies of Guadalajara and the State.

As part of Phase 0, businesses that do not generate a crowd of people, such as car dealerships, motorcycles, bicycles, furniture stores, appliances and electronic or home sales, will begin to reopen.

A condition for trade in Phase 0, and which will be constantly verified, is compliance with the restriction of permitted density of one person as a customer, per 7 square meters.

"We need to understand that Phase 0 is a transition stage, that it is a stage of gradual return to economic activity, and if the behavior of the virus and the pandemic did not demand it, as I explained, we could make a decision to return to the measures of social isolation and delay everything foreseen in this plan," said Alfaro Ramirez.

Dermika is also seeing patients.  Call for an appointment 766 2500

With regard to food safety on take out or delivery, our opinion is that if we trusted their process before, we trust it now.  If you think someone is mishandling food, why would you ever give them business?

They were in La Floresta a couple of days ago.  We gave them foodstuffs as well.

I would also like to know if they are offering take away.  Last time I tried calling the numbers listed on their facebook page, I never got anyone to pick up.

Quick blinds custom made and installed roll up translucent awnings for us.  The have been very effective.  They have been in service for about 10 years with no problems.  We have overhangs on the windows where they are installed which are probably contribute to the the longevity of of the material.

The closure may be due to Semana Santa

There is a space for motor home parking across from El Parque.  Someone parked there might know.

They also close the office for lunch, I think between 2 and 3 in the afternoon.

I have found immigration may or may not be around.

That happened to us in December.  Arrived at 3 am for a 5 am flight, 20 people in line at the immigration window, no officer in sight.  He finally showed up at 4.  Left us scrambling to make our flight.  The line was a mix of foreigners and Mexicans. Frustrating but don't know what could have been done differently. 

Does anyone know where to get moth balls or the crystals?  No luck in Walmart or the junk store on the Ajijic plaza.

When we were at the Forum in Tlaquepaque last fall, the Popeye's was serving the sandwich.

Friday is also prime rib special at Scallions

According to the schedule, tonight (28-11) is the construction workers sponsorship and Sat eve is the expat community.  In past years, they have both been a delight.  Last year we noticed the food stalls opening later, closer to 8 than 7 pm. 

I don't want to hijack the thread on the Seguro Popular shots.  Is LCS doing flu shots this year?  Are they available anywhere else.  TIA

Did you notice if the pizza "to go" was sent out in pizza boxes?  The last time we asked to take the leftovers home, they just piled the pieces on top of each other in a regular carton.
