  1. According to the Informador this morning there about 120 bush/forest fires active in Mexico. Seems kind of early for this.....(On a side note, I have the Deep Purples song constantly playing in my head. "Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky" 😊).
  2. So goes the old saying "its not what you know but who you know" 😊
  3. The Weather Channel predicts for 30 Celsius this coming Wednesday. Seems a little warm for this time of the year. If this is this years trend then am heading to the outback's of Canada for the summer. 😊
  4. Today there is an article on the Reuter news feeds about the early blooming if the Jacaranda tree purple flowers. Apparently it is raising concerns in Mexico city because blooming started in early January when it normally happens in late March. The article which is in English points to climate change as the possible reason. Mind you they are beautiful when in full bloom.
  5. I guess I need to make a trip to Ajijic to ask Intercam directly. They have 2 branches in town so what would be the best one in order to get the information I seek. Thanks
  6. Does anybody happen to know if Intercam manages stocks trading in Mexican Pesos. I looked ta their website but could not get a clear idea. Thank you.
  7. I am so so so so so so sorry, and promise with my hand on my heart that I will never do it again. 😊
  8. I know this is not about Multiva but does Intercam manage Stocks traded in Pesos. I looked at their website but could not find a clear answer.
  9. If you have a car accident in Mexico and need emergency help, I seriously doubt that OHIP will pay back some of the expenses. That is why many carry travel insurance.....But then again.
  10. In 2008 my mom needed an emergency angiogram followed by the implant of 4 stents in Guadalajara and no I did not have insurance for her as she was 83 at the time. I had all the bills translated to English and submitted them to OHIP on return to Ontario. They reimbursed me the equivalent of what the surgery would have cost in Ontario. The thinking back then is that it would have happened regardless of where my mom was. From memory I got back about 50 percent of the total costs which is better then nothing...
  11. Wow it looks like it will be cold Saturday night. Anyone have an extra Golden Retriever I could borrow 😊
  12. Good luck with your locally brewed drinking water. About 10 years ago I switched to epura formally called satorini. At least it tastes like water. 😊 (they deliver twice a week and its 40 pesos a piece).
  13. My neighbors recently went to buy toilet paper. They first checked the price at Ola Market end then Pancho's. As it turned out Pancho's was cheaper by I think 25 pesos. Maybe its just me but just maybe Pancho's is trying to rid itself of competition. 😒
  14. This morning there is another article on the Reuter news feeds saying that January was the warmest on record. 😩
  15. Has anyone contracted Mega Cable yet ? They having been pulling trunk cables around Chapala for almost a year now and most recently have an army of sales people offering their fiber optic services. Their Wifi TV combo seems to be much better then what Total Play has to offer. As an example, they include Netflix, 80 TV channels and 250 Megabits for under 600 pesos a month.
  16. Taking that turn on green light arrow down is probably the only smart thing they did with this intersection.
  17. Just as a side note my former neighbor in Ontario Canada needed cataract surgery. Unfortunately for him, he had his drivers license suspended until he had the surgery. As I recall it was also around 18 months waiting time. He ended up getting depressed. He was not poor since he use to own a private single engine plane and lived in what was considered a desirable area. I simply did not have the heart to tell him that he could have had the surgery done in Buffalo NY (1/2 hour drive). I had my cataract surgery in Guadalajara about 8 years ago. It was about 25,000 pesos an eye.
  18. Yes El Nino is part of the problem, but I was first put on snow skies back in 1962 and have no memory of not having snow in the month of February (then again maybe my memory is fading 😊). I am also watching Sun Hydrogen as this is the future in the making. Wish I could live another 30 years to see this all come together..
  19. There is several articles today on the Reuter news feed about the current condition of ski resorts in Europe. I tried to copy and paste them with no success. In a nut shell, 2 resorts are closed and the majority of all the remaining resorts depend on snow canons.😟 (that is hundreds of resorts). Yes EV's are expensive mainly because of the battery packs. But if you read up on what is happening in the EV world you will note that many car and truck manufacturers are already planning the switch to FCEV's (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles). This will greatly reduce costs as it will reduce about 80% of battery capacity requirements. This is called transition and it can not happen overnight but it will happen because common sense will prevail.
  20. Because I am looking for a smart person to help me with my spelling issues. 😊
  21. Darn, I think I will join the Chinese communist party. They seem to be light years ahead of us. 😊
  22. Or use a 4 letter word followed by the word "taxes". 😊
  23. Yesterday I was reading an article in the "Tribune de Geneve" covering the yearly hot air balloon competition taking place in Chateau d'Oex. This is a ski resort in Switzerland which I have used many times in my youth. The pictures blew me away as there was no snow. Found a website that gives the snow conditions and it stated all installations closed. Darn these theories are really killing the ski season.....
  24. My neighbors wants to put me up for adoption. I would make a great companion for your dog and his food is clearly to my liking.... Am 68 years old drink a little but do not smoke 😊 😊
