I thought the governor was going to make an announcement today on Facebook after 1 pm.
Last night he gave us kudos for being compliant boys and girls, and after today the restrictions are removed.
His 1:00 conference is for him to share the new Plan Jalisco, to be enacted supposedly for the rest of the year.

Here's a copy of the signage at the airport in Guadalajara:
-
The Jalisco traffic law doesn't appear to offer any red-light leeway; even the yellow light is open to interpretation.
Artículo 24.- En los cruceros controlados por semáforos, la luz roja proyectada hacia los conductores y peatones indica alto; la luz verde indica siga, la luz ámbar indica preventiva interpretándose esta última, como el lapso que existe para despejar la intersección cuando algún vehículo haya entrado a el o se encuentre muy próximo y no le sea posible detenerse inmediatamente por el riesgo de producirse un impacto por alcance.

On UDGTV.com as well as El Economista:
Los pasajeros a vuelos internacionales tendrán que realizarse una prueba de antígeno para quienes viajen a los Estados Unidos, que se entregan los resultados en 30 a 45 minutos y la prueba PCR se entrega entre 36 a 48 horas para los que tengan la intención de viajar a Canadá o a los Países Bajos quiénes pidieron como requisito para ingresar a sus países el comprobante de resultado negativo.

Thank you for posting the information.
People can also have the Airport questionnaire filled in advance.
There's another mandatory form for all air travelers to the US: a passenger travel disclosure and attestation form. If you can print and complete prior to getting in line at the check-in, you'll save some time. It's here, on the CDC site, as well as airlines: https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/pdf/attachment-a-global-passenger-disclosure-and-attestation-2021-01-12-p.pdf

I've helped several people get their registration: all start with AM but some have 7 digits and some have 8.

CURPs begin with first 2 letters of your last name.
Actually, it is first consonant and first vowel of one's first last name and not necessarily the first two letters: TLALOC would be T A.

The OP is incorrect: the first two keystrokes are the first letter of your last name followed by the first vowel of your last name. The naming convention is shown above in Mostlylost's post. And characters 12-13 for foreign-born CURP holders is NE (Nacido Extranjero).

Has anyone actually had success with new site? If yes, where are you to go to get vaccinated? How do we know which vaccine is being offered? If two shots are required, how do we know the second one will actually be available?
Yes, about 8:15 am. It took a few tries, during which I got wonky messages, but did get registered. This process is to get on the call list--specifics about when, where, and which vaccine will come later...after you get contacted for your appointment. The site does not give any answers to your questions; it is merely a registration.

It sounds like Trinidadian hot sauce I grew up on as a child. It could take the skin off the roof of your mouth, but still had fabulous flavors.

No issue yesterday, no lines. There is a posting on the door saying that the interior office is closed until further notice.

There are no mask requirements. It would be better if ordered because it would hide the pig's lipstick.
I watched and took notes: Alfaro started and ended his 38+-minute press conference saying that these new restrictions are in addition to the sanitary protocols that have not been modified. He listed face masks, social distancing, hand-washing, staying away from crowded or public places, and contacting a health professional should you experience symptoms.

Café Grano Café used to stock electric grinders; it has been a while since I looked for them, specifically, there.

Food deliveries from Chapala to Ajijic take about 20 minutes (more in high season); foods in containers don't carry well for that long. Really looking forward to the new Indian/Pakistani place in Ajijic. It's Guadalajara location get very good reviews.
Actually, the delivery time was expected to be--and was--a good bit longer than 20 minutes, but I doubt I could pick food up and bring it home in any less time than it took them. I rewarmed gently, popped the naan (generous portion, but never enough for us) in the toaster oven in the foil for a minute or two and we were very happy with our meals. Clearly, not like table service in a restaurant, but we are thrilled for the option to satisfy our regular cravings. As difficult as the pandemic has been on numerous restaurants, some small businesses that never would have had a chance, like Magnolia, are adapting to our needs and bringing welcome additions to the dining scene. I'm also open to trying the upcoming new place as well.

Magnolia is really good. And they deliver. Hits the mark on those cravings for Indian.

I've been a few times, and have tried a number of items. They make a pastry that they call cardamom...but it is a very faint hint. It is similar to their cinnamon rolls (which have no icing, just sugar on top) and both are sufficient to serve two people--generously. It's great with coffee. Their bagels are very good also! Really nice young people!

Chuy said definitely no.
I'll ask him when I'm in. I'm positive he had last weekend (maybe without nuts). I remember looking at the bars, but since I'm allergic to something in Hershey's, I put it back. If I see it anywhere, I'll let you know.
I did find it on mercado libre: the giant-size bar, dark chocolate with almonds.

Today I went to La Huerta and he does not have any Hershey's dark chocolate
Yes, I saw that yesterday. He did have, though, by the register. Chuy will also order items for you and he delivers, as well.
-
There's objections in the lower chambers that delays the vote till the spring. The postponement was announced about a week ago.

MiniSuper La Huerta had some Hershey's dark chocolate bars at the counter yesterday; I didn't check to see if they had almonds, tho.
You could call: 376-766-4590.

Why?
I took an olive green Chico's (women's brand) top, cotton and cotton lace because I snagged (not broke) part of the lace on the back shoulder when I backed into a nail during a volunteer event at LCS. I took it to Rossy and she said she didn't think she could match the thread. I returned from US, with thread in hand. Instead of fixing the part that needed to be mended, she used bright purple thread to restitch part of the front bottom...that didn't need repair.
I then took a few beige towels to her that had started to fray along one seam. She restitched...in a different color...leaving the fray showing.
Took a bottom sheet to restitch the elastic. Again. stitched along the inside, not fixing the elastic.
In my defense, it was two trips, not three (the sheet and towels were one trip.) But the second trip was it for me.
Many people are pleased with her work; I was not one, unfortunately.
Prepaid Mexican credit card
in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
Posted
I looked and looked for prepaid, US-style over-the-counter Visa or Mastercards to give as a gift (not linked to an account of my own) but came up with nothing. Both CiBanco and HSBC advertised them, but when I went before Christmas, neither had those options and the staff had absolutely no clue what I was talking about, despite having the printouts in my hand.
Please let me know if you are successful in finding one. Around the holidays, I thought they'd be useful gifts.
