Flew into Orlando on Friday .... went to a FEMA walk up site on Sunday a.m. Choice of Johnson and Johnson or Pfizer vaccine . We took the Johnson and Johnson in and out in less than an hour including the health check. No side effects or soreness of the arm the next day....went kayaking. The FEMA site was amazing..... dozens of national guard assisting patients between tents no lines with at least 20 vaccination seats in each tent, and of course… No charge .

It’s often called...willful blindness....seems to be almost or even more common than the virus itself these days .

Despite rumors and Facebook content Purple garlic pizza is still open ....just picked up a close to perfect N Y style pizza yesterday . It was in fact quite busy with two motorcycles waiting on deliveries... 331 091 3385 .

A friend of mine just received a western Union transfer for 1000 dollars ( US )...it seems to be above local ( Guad also ) western Union limits...it was a birthday gift so he hates to reverse the process and get two smaller ones ....any ideas ? ..thanks Ian

Excellent....everything I would hope to find in a local or beach front casual seafood bistro/ cafe but seldom do .Service was good ,plenty of innovative menu choices, well priced and a decent wine pour ...

Technician came Saturday realigned the satellite dish slightly… All channels back to normal .

I believe the fish farm near Mezcala has changed to catfish ,as they get more money for “ bagre “ than they do for tilapia. Either way I would use them both if we didn’t have such a wonderful selection of fresh fish that I am familiar with at Costa Allegra fishmongers .

At least two or three days a week I see a fisherman coming ashore with at least a wheel barrow full.. most Wednesdays at the Ajijic tianqui see it for sale still alive . So you have a choice China or the lake…Hobsons choice , My mother would have said .

It will probably be similar to the English school vaccination system in the 50s… We all stood in a line and they used the same needle on all of us ... it Really speeds things up

I Get my marrow bones in 2 to 3 kg batches from the butcher just off the Square in Ajijic . Incidentally it’s much better to roast the marrow bones with some rough chopped vegetables in the oven before simmering.

Ours arrived in the form of a check last Friday...we signed it ,photographed it and deposited it via the internet in our Schwab account

It’s called karma.....shame it’s only a mild dose...not unlike some others I’m not allowed to mention...they all have death on their hands ...they refused to take this virus seriously soon enough and then did nothing to prevent its spread.

The U K announced this past week they have trained over 80,000 health care professionals to administer the vaccines... the US under a new president promises 100 million in a hundred days ...Mexico ...everyone over 65 by March / April...only time ,supply and logistics are in question...until if and when it’s all up to you.... ?

A few days ago it cost us around 1000 pesos in gas and well over 500 pesos in tolls plus obviously the same on our return trip, not to mention the cost of a driver if necessary ...so good luck with the 600 ...

Parking lot across the street ( private ) 15 pesos ...2 hours or less
