  1. Not a Texican, but I get it. Shop at HEB in Leon every chance I get. A couple of years ago I e-mailed back & forth with HEB in Texas. The response was Guad is too far away from their hub, and they have no plans to start another one further south.
  2. This is a fairly easy job if you have a computer with a dvd drive. just copy the DVD to your hard drive. Lottsa programs available if necessary to break code. Then you can just copy to memory stick if needed..

  4. I guess I should have left the sarcasm at home! This was a slightly altered alert that I received this morning from the US Consulate. I just changed the 'Mexico' to 'United States.' Sorry to have confused anyone.
  5. Message for U.S. Citizens: Holiday Travel Safety CCSMexicoCity@state.gov Event: Holiday Travel Safety Actions to Take: Review our recommendations for your destination . Remember that all destinations have some level of risk. Violent crime – such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery – is common in parts of the United States.
  6. I am doing the same. Very little downtime with either, but always ready with the other.
  7. Holy Moly! A simple FYI post, and opinions galore flood out!
  8. NUMERO ONE: 4 injured in afternoon shooting in Uptown; no one in custody By Deanese Williams-Harris Chicago Tribune Three women and a man suffered gunshot wounds during a Saturday afternoon shooting in the Uptown neighborhood, Chicago police said. Shortly after 12:30 p.m., the four victims were approached by at least two armed people who opened fire in the 5000 block of North Winthrop Avenue, police said.

No one was in custody and detectives were still investigating. NUMERO DOS: Eight people shot during exchange of gunfire early Sunday morning in River North, according to Chicago police By Rebecca Johnson Chicago Tribune Eight people were shot during an exchange of gunfire early morning Sunday in River North, according to Chicago police. Police said a group of people got into a physical altercation outside at about 2:38 a.m. in the 300 block of West Erie Street. Four people are hospitalized in critical condition.

The chaotic chain of events began around 3:30 p.m. when a vehicle approached a 24-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman walking near the 3rd District police station in the 7000 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue, police said. At least one person from inside the vehicle opened fire, striking the man in the thigh and grazing the woman’s backside, police said. Both were transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center in good condition. Police located the suspected shooter’s vehicle in the 5400 block of South State Street in the Washington Park neighborhood. As officers responded, the officers were involved in a crash that required Chicago Fire Department assistance in freeing four trapped officers before taking them to local hospitals. Authorities have not released conditions of the police officers. Four people were arrested and two handguns were recovered, police said. Charges were pending late Saturday as detectives continued their investigation. adperez@chicagotribune.com And, that's just what made the newspaper! PS: I lived in Old Town before I moved here 20 years or so ago. That's just a mile or two from NUMERDO DOS and 4 miles or so from NUMERO UNO!
  9. The services may be legal, but using the VPN won't protect one from a shutdown. The service providers are obligated by their contracts with those who provide content (not service provided originals) to attempt to protect GEO reception of that content. So, irrespective of legality, some vulnerability remains when connected to a USA or Canadian (or any but country but where receiving) service. To those here in México, try buying the Mexican service. In most instances, the service is cheaper and contains mostly the same content. Plus, some will connect to USA or Canadian connection using VPN. Netflix Mexico does just that. So, try it along with Max, Star +, etc. Unfortunately, some of my favorites, Brit Box, MHz don't have a Mexican offering, so I use them with the VPN. Also, don't forget Hoopla and Kanopy available through most NOB libraries.
  10. I just returned from using the HSBC ATM. sunnyvmx was correct in that the software has changed, glaringly so. But just the background, not the wording or functionality. And, not the Decline function. When I hit Decline, I received my money just as before the software change. Same Schwab exchange rate, etc. Of course, I don't know what happened with sunnyvmx, but for me, this morning, fifteen minutes ago, everything functioned as it always has.
  11. This is important enuf to start as a new topic!
  12. The BEST streaming device is almost always the most expensive. Just using Amazon as an example, work your way from (https://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=8521791011&ref_=nav_em_ods_smp_nav_cat_0_2_6_2) Fire TV Stick Lite 29.99 to All-new Fire TV Cube $139.99 As you work your way up the dollar ladder, each device is better the the one just left behind. Which one is beat? Depends on your finances and your viewing needs. I have the Cube, my son has the Lite. I watch a lot more than he does which he does only infrequently. As to where to set up, Amazon registers it when you buy it. After that, the apps you load or don't load are largely left up to you. However, you will probably need a VPN which when activated can show you as in the US even tho you are in MX. I mostly use Surfshark, though I also have Nord and Strong. Good luck!
