MY MISTAKE, ERIK WAS TALKING ABOUT FLU SHOTS I didn't know you could get a vaccine shot from a private doctor. I thought all Covid19 vaccine shots were being handled by the government. It's time to get my 6 months booster shot and I thought I was going to have to wait another month before getting mine when I go up North.

I knew it had to be something like that. But yes, I forgot the day. But don't tell anyone, I don't want them to know that I'm in my young eighties.

I know today is not an official holiday, but something has been motivating neighbors to fire off somewhat large batches of fireworks starting last night and again this late afternoon in upper and slightly West Ajijic. There was also loud music in the early evening, yesterday. None yet tonight, but it's still early Hey it could simply be several large birthday parties. Whatever it is, it's no big deal. I'll remove my hearing aids when it's time for bed.

Looking forward to an answer to the original question which was made by a long time member Oatsie who has been a member since 2006. His question was: Is the Canadian Club of Lake Chapala still in operation?

There was a Canadian Club that had been here for many years. You may remember they were the organization that would sell those beautiful poppies each November for Remembrance day each Nov 11th in honor of our fallen troops. For reasons I did not understand, this organization is no longer active here and very few of us had left over poppies to wear. Hopefully someone posting here, can update and or correct this post.

Carol the best way you can hope to find a home for this dog, is to take a picture. I believe doing so could really help in your efforts to find this dog a forever home.

I passed by the accident at about 12:30. I'm guessing it could have occurred maybe around 11 AM

I heard that too. The person I talked to said it was not to far West of Ponchos. I didn't mention it earlier because I thought the person reporting same might be getting locations wrong and I guess I wrongly assumed there was only one accident

Thank for posting the warning. It saved me a great deal of waiting time in heavy traffic. Sadly, while driving on the side-street, I did see one body covered with a blanket or cloth lying in Carretera across from the Ajijic Pemex. Those attempting to go East or West on the Carretere were barely moving. I feel very sorry for all concerned and hope for the best, if that is even possible for the family of the victim and any other participants in this terrible accident.

Thanks for sharing this information. At least, lakeside, many of the expats have electrical solar panels. My last bill was typical, 50 pesos. Yes, I know, I have a few more panels than necessary. But that's just me.

Dr. Haro and his associates.

So, how are the Millet Oilers doing this year, happyjillin? I actually have no idea how they did or are doing this year

working in upper Ajijic. Maybe that is why Telmex internet but not phone is out.

Infinitum internet is down in upper Ajijic West of Juarez. Thank God I have IZZI a a backup. Telmex internet has been down quite often lately. Luckily their phone (Telmex) is working.

Sorry Alfa. No harm meant. Thanks for the helpful information.

I love my solar system. Thank you Opiere solar and Go Solar for all of your help. My last CFE bill was $50.51 pesos

At first, I believed it to be a major outage over a large area. Yes, there was an outage, but the outage was over a much smaller area than I thought. The great thing was, that CFE came through and had the power back on in the very early afternoon

Don't Pedro, we would miss you

I love my Apple watch. It just told me that I have taken 2,276 steps so far today and that I have walked up and down the equivalent of thirteen stories. I haven't checked it yet for the weather, my heart rate, my blood oxygen level or any other of the many things it can do, should I ask it. It's about time to do an ECG though Oh and if I loose a device, like my iPhone, it has a "find your device mode" that will lead me to it. I could bore you to death listing all the other things it will do. Yes, it even tells time

Why all the fear? gosh Pedro, if you keep on posting on Facebook, you might become an antique yourself, and that's no fun.

Yes I did. It was pretty high this month it was rounded up to the nearest peso, 51 pesos. Yep, I put in too many electric solar panels and my bills are always less than $100 pesos per billing period. And the power came back on a little after 12 noon.

Glad to hear that. Sure hope CFE finds the problem and fixes it.

remember that this Saturday morning the power is out in much of Ajijic and just maybe the phone systems if also powered by electricity are out as well.

Gosh most local telmex phone numbers I have tried in both Chapala and Ajijic will not go through because of an apparent major power outage. Luckily I have backup power. When my house was first built in 1986, there were often outages. As a result, the previous owner put in a backup power system powered by a generator. Today my system has been upgraded to solar panels and backup batteries for the evening hours. No, not every light or any pool pump will work without electricity. However my two refrigerators and several lights in every room are connected. And, of course, so is my TV, radio, computer and alarm system. Now opening and closing the garage doors is another matter. I have to do that manually. And living on a steep hill, luckily my Aljiba is the equivalent of about two stories above the house. So, we have water until the Aljiba runs out

Yes, I only got 21.7 pesos per US dollar. What did you get Mainecoons? My secret as to how I get such a good exchange rate? It's really simple, I wait until the value of the dollar is high and wire the money at that time. Oh, and it depends upon whether you wire one thousand or ten thousand dollars down. Actinver has always provided me with a good exchange rate. Oh and I should add, the exchange rate today is closer to 20. I always wait until the exchange rate is in my favor before wiring from B of America to Actinver, which isn't today
