Appreciate your notice Stephen. I have some sensitive plants to protect. You need to get a weatherman photo for your login! https://blog.marketo.com/content/uploads/2013/06/weatherman.jpg

I know, at your age you think you have tasted every flavor out there. Then a spice company catering to professional chefs and adventurous home chefs comes along. https://www.burlapandbarrel.com/pages/faq#order-one

What happened to your stainless steel chimney made by the Young brothers? It was pretty cool, made by their CNC cutter. I like to start a fire with wood too. Lots to burn around here. Get a nice bed of coals, then charcoal, then chunks of smoking wood.

The Audiologist at Quality Care gave me a hearing test. My left ear drum has some sort of swelling, which can be dangerous if left alone. He made an appointment with the ear doctor there. The ear specialist removed a bunch more wax in my left ear, which helped my hearing a lot. He wants an MRI at the hearing specialist in Guadalajara to make sure there are no underlying problems (tumours, growths, etc.). The company is DRI (Diagnostico Especializado por Imagen) in Zapopan. cell for Dr. Eduardo Soreda 33 3121 9913. https://www.deidiagnostico.com/ My other symptom is ever increasing loss of balance, leading to many falls, bruises, and scars. I look like a retired UFC fighter. That is actually my main concern, more than minor loss of hearing in one ear. So I might as well get the best diagnosis possible. After the diagnosis, I go to the audiologist for a free hearing aid fitting. I know the difference between an amplifier and tuning band model but the market is very confusing. I am interested in trying an amplifier model because of the low cost, but so far, I am finding no vendors willing to break up a pair. The doctor's prescripition is for a Tomografia de oido y mastoides. The specialist at Quality Care is Dr Luis Garcia Nogueira, he is an Otorrinolaringologia. So there! Say that five times in a row. A lot of info here, hope it helps someone now or down the road.

Ellie, you do so much for LCS, but people will want to know the cost and if this is the 3 strain vaccine or the 4 strain.

Is it listed at the Auto Zone? Best to go into the store besides Walmart. They carry Rislone products. Here is a link to Rislone Mexico fuel treatment products. Packaging in Spanish, this is in English. https://rislone.com/mx/our-products/?category=fuel-2

Did you see any doodads or watchamacallits? I am always looking for them.

as read today in the Washington Post. For the past three years the FDA has mandated that hearing aid providers must allow over the counter service for slight to moderate hearing loss. Today, Tuesday, they lost patience, and are now allow hearing aids to be sold in the U.S.A. without a doctors prescription, then filled by an Audiologist. Prices are expected to drop drastically from the current average of $5,000 per pair. The article did not mention this but I forsee sales over the internet and lots of try before you buy options.

It should be, it took the Heinecken Master Brewmaster 8 years to develop.

Maybe see a social worker at D.I.F. ?

This is a shot in the dark, but ask Dr. Hugo, the new Audiologist at Quality Care.

Cut out anything which uses nonrenewable fossil fuels, or tax as a luxury. I hope my friend who bought my old diesel truck converts it to used (but filtered) cooking oil. But if he is driving to Colombia, availability might be difficult, but mixing with diesel is no problem and actually recommended. Andy - the Shat agrees with you! https://ca.yahoo.com/news/william-shatner-overwhelmed-with-sadness-while-discussing-space-flight-053339115.html

It is interesting that mental health professionals have found the pandemic quarantine has caused many to develop agoraphobia type symptoms. Fear of crowds and open spaces.

Friday is always a bad traffic day. Many people are paid on that day, most companies use cash cards which need ATM machines. The Tapatios and ranchers are coming in for an early start to their weekends, stocking up on drinks, snacks and food. They do not use delivery here, although they do in the cities. How come all the people who come here for peace and tranquility make so much dxxx noise?

You know I am just ribbing you - but have you looked in your old hockey equipment bag?🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

That is a trick question, because the U.S. insurers for people and vehicles are brokering through Mexican insurers. Mexican insurers are governed by strict guidelines, which U. S. and international based companies don't want any part of.

If you are a long termer here surely you have noticed the proliferation of delivery services. It started with Amazon, which is fast and reliable, even looking after customs payment. The pandemic quarantine, over the past two years has normalised the expansion of delivery services to include restaurant meals, groceries, liquor. Most meals are delivered hot because many drivers are using small motorcycles which allow getting around traffic clogs. There was a famous law case when Henry Ford sued a journalist for calling him "dumb". The journalist's attorney got Ford on the stand and started to ask him difficult memory questions, all intended to show how dumb Ford was. Ford lost patience and said I have a switchboard on my desk, with it I can connect with engineers, mathmatical geniuses, artists - you name it. That is where we are now in our society. This rich man's switchboard is now available to everyone with the internet, international zoom meetings, etc., there is no need to go out other than boredom. If that is the problem, a gentle bicycle ride or easy stroll on any of the malecons is easily done. There has definitely been a boom in vehicle ownership, particularly among Mexicans, but the traffic here is nothing "serious", especially compared to the maelstrom of Guadalajara or Puerto Vallarta. More interesting. For the remote workers especially. How many choose NOT to go because they don't want put on a long sleeve shirt and full length trousers?

My wife needs a 1969 Chevy Impala to take the kids to school. Just kidding, no kids, no car.

I have insured with Lewis and Lewis. No problems, and their paperwork looks very officia!, very governmental. After I got Mexican plates, a friend put me on as a rider on one of his vehicles as a driver, liabilty only. I think it was Qualitas. Now, I don't drive at all. Only using known to be safe driver, taxicabs. Best insurance of all. Stay off of Mexican roads and highways unless absolutely necessary. Do your Mexican roaming when you are younger, and more likely to survive a crash. Even then, use the premium buses and taxicabs.

This is a good website for British foods. This recipe for Branston pickle, but I think it needs Tamarind. https://culinaryginger.com/english-pickle-relish/

The last amnesties were in election years, correct? Pretty hard for politicians to take a hardline against this issue. No, you all have to buy new vehicles or pay high duties. Could be a whole new industry for Mexico. Importing flood damaged vehicles and then the labor intensive work bringing them back up to specification again. As discussed before, the manufacturing of every new vehicle leaves a giant bootprint on the environmental health of the planet.

AMLO has announced a new amnesty for foreign registered cars in Mexico. These are normally called "chocolate" vehicles. Details are emerging. https://us.yahoo.com/news/mexico-gives-reprieve-illegally-imported-192442695.html

You are lucky I don't live in your neighborhood. I would probably retaliate with a home made plasma cannon on top of my truck, at night. Over 120 decibels. I like this presenter, his shirt says RCAF - Royal Christian Air Force?

Yes, but we are very lucky here because in many parts of Mexico the poor and displaced move into these arroyos and construct flimsy shacks. The City and the State can't do anything about it. Next flash flood and there are many deaths. The shacks also obstruct the flow causing flooding.

I have this idea to make pickled onions from the recipe below. Instead of pearl onions, I am thinking of using the bulbs of Cebollas de Cambray. These are the onions with green onion on the top, and then a fairly large bulb. They are often used with grilled meats. Should work. Good time of year to plant. Have 700 seeds. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/103178/traditional-english-pickled-onions/
