    Just there today Sunday, and Firemen say they have enough food donated, but they need  thick gloves (like garden gloves) to avoiid being burned by the file.   If anyone has some old garden or very thick gloves, they will appreciate your donation at the firehouse on the libramiento, (just  before the schools on the libramiento)

     

    following are some Facebook excerpts on the subject

     

     

    🍃 30 firefighters are up there working

    🍃 they are cover on drinks, foods and tools.

    👉🏼 🔥 They need 20 pair of “Carnaza” GLOVES for gardening and 4 FIRST AID kits in bags, so they can bring with them.

    Their hads are in need of care and love, if you have Burn Cream, lavander essential oil on cream also Calendula will be helpful.

    🍃 the area still on fire is under control, they think. They plan to take it over today, and check all the area got damaged to make sure all is well for the best.

    🧡 I would love to have a public event at the plaza after this is over and they are rested to thank them, creat a plan to improve their conditions and make a campaign to prevent future fires. Also have the Red Cross ladies.

    They are very grateful for all the support 🙏

    Thanks for the update.

    Please keep me posted about a possible public event.

  2. I use the place in Chapala. Go into Chapala from the careterra and make a left onto the main road. Make a right turn at the street before the store Mueblas America. (It's a blue sign on top of building) The shoe repair shop is two blocks down on the right.

    I have to just say that I am surprised at how many foreigners will go through this whole procedure, to try to get a 50% discount on their 200 dollar property taxes, from a municipality which  desperately needs their tax money.  I am only guessing but I bet the staff who weren't very friendly were thinking the same thing. When they see foreigners living what is "the high life" compared to theirs, travelling, eating out in restaurants often, buying all kinds of things those workers could never afford, simply even owning a home which many of them never will, and then wanting to save that $100 because they have heard that they too are "entitled" to this discount, it might make them somewhat upset, don't you think?

    I just have to say that IMO if they offer it to foreigners then we should be able to get it without hassle. No judging necessary. If we're not meant to have it then so be it. Personally, I haven't experienced any negativity.

    Mexico is another word for waiting. It's the culture. No one is more impressed with the use of despotic power than the gov't worker in this country. Whatever they can do to add pointless copies of paper and bank payments, they will do. It's the job, man. It's not aimed at expats; haven't met a Mexican yet who doesn't hate it.

    If you want a chuckle check this out.
