  1. The US dollar is the strongest it has been in about 20 years… We’ve been in Europe for the last month and the exchange rates are wonderful
  2. Lakeside…I too enjoy the restaurants at lakeside ,they have improved drastically over the years and the prices although rising are still a great bargain….however your comments about the food in the US and the UK are the exact opposite of what we are experiencing. We began in the US and have been making our way gradually back west from Budapest and are at present spending a few days in Wimbledon…our restaurant food has been wonderful…not necessarily inexpensive depending on the country but still a great change…I personally draw up a list of restaurants for each city with alternatives way before we arrive using a wide range of food blogs and alternative media recommendations
  3. Serenata….we were hoping…..as we live just up the hill and it has such a nice look about it at night . We went twice ..not too impressed but it does good business and some of our friends seem to enjoy it
  4. Flogging a dead horse perhaps..?
  5. The main reason for the disparity between oil imports into 2020 and 2021 was demand… In 2020 halfof the country was locked down due to the pandemic…many wells were capped as the price dropped to 30 /40 dollars a barrel . Production is increasing in 2022 and will surpass all time highs 2023..reaching almost 13 million BPD .Incidentally big oil made over $ 100 billion profit the first quarter of 2022 also a record with some companies doubling their profits. Please note GH , these numbers came from USA bureau of statistics and the petroleum institute… they are not alternative facts.
  6. Your posts are just obnoxious…mostly Fox News..alternative facts just like you know who… an expert on everything especially BS .
  7. The whole premise of this post is BS…the US dollar is not and has not been tanking…the dollar / peso. 100 /200 moving day average is between 19.80 and less than 21.00….occasionally it may break out of these parameters for a a day or two but the average is 20.04…i e less than a peso or so swing….a real tank
  8. dropped a shirt of there Tuesday …no problem..ready next Tuesday..
  9. Professional tailor opposite Memos vet ,next to gift shop on constitution…
  10. Not very reassuring.. two very minor showers this week…two power outages….hope it’s not the shape of things to come…
  11. Great photo… about 10 years ago I was drinking with Boyd Simpson ( RIP ) watching the sun go down on a beautiful fall night at the next counter to Pedro Loco as the Mexicans called him . I believe the bar was called tequila republic but that might have been another one of its reincarnations. Boyd and Pedro knew each other having been around for many years, I believe they were both lawyers in Toronto at one time. By that time Pedro was mostly incommunicado, he had a minder with him who paid his bill and loaded him in the back of a small cart harnessed to vino blanco and away they plodded off into his sunset…..
  12. I walk past the building Six days a week…..this is a well known Mexican restaurant corporation that has operated Argentinian restaurants for many years in several locations …over the last few days there have been a minimum of 8 -10 workers with professional construction equip…..obviously corporate money….new floors , walls roofing are all underway…keeping my fingers crossed…always loved the place .
  13. why not use pregrown sod …it’s available all over town …costs next to nothing..comes ready to use and easy to replace …grass seed can be difficult to deal with .
  14. Jim Bowie…. As a matter of fact the USA GDP for 2019 the last year of the previous administration was 2.1 %..one of the lowest in many years as it began to slide down the toilet due to the pandemic The USA GDP for 2021 was 5.7% .The high rate of inflation in the USA is partially due to the rise in productivity ,wages and the broken supply chain due to the pandemic. Inflation is caused entirely by supply and demand and at the moment the demand far exceeds the supply . Most of the western democracies are suffering a somewhat similar rate of inflation as they to experience supply issues . Global oil production in 2021 surpassed 2019 and will increase in 2022 to an all-time high. The US oil production in 2021 was close to the all-time high of 2019 and will exceed both those figures in 2023.. The cost of oil extraction in the US is approximately $35-$50 a barrel depending on its source…. With the cost of oil over $100 per barrel please tell me just who is screwing the pooch .

    Patat

    Sounds like a heart attack on a plate to me….
  16. I buy a multi vitamin eye supplement which contains both of the ingredients you mention along with beta carotene from mascaras….Citamicjahvs .
  17. In the US depending on your income in many states it is not easy to qualify for Obama care ..the affordable care act …if not health insurance begins around $ 400 per month with deductibles..and very often can be double that or much more for a comprehensive plan . …Big line taxation for health care as you call it in Canada or the the UK is minimal in comparison .
  18. Tom..isn’t it a rather long drive from Greenville just to get prime beef or do you just need a good excuse to come back…Ian
  19. I prefer the taste and texture of the dirty potatoes….I imagine they are a type of russet …the weather in the Mexican border states is cold enough to grow russets just as in Texas…there is even a Mexican russet growers association.
  20. The shrimp burger for sure..brioche bun ..crispy bacon cheddar….it goes on . I think the marlin at Baja Norte is much better. Love the tuna at Las Palmas .
  21. I saw them moving kitchen equipment ( stoves etc ) into the new location yesterday….despite all kinds of problems they managed to make their present location a success…they obviously think outside the box so it wouldn’t surprise me to see them open early December. I too love these new style restaurants springing up all over town …I long ago grew tired of the many pseudo salmon and steak restaurants…wishing them lots of luck .
  22. ..I certainly don’t want trash or grief at my home which is a place of peace and tranquillity… however you can find me at the Ajijic malecon tomorrow from about 10 .15 until 11.45…shouldn’t be much trouble finding me long shaggy hair , black dog , …i10 laps….introduce yourself . Unfortunately l leave for the beach on Sunday and then l am sailing in the Caribbean until mid Nov ….but keep in touch …my phone is 376 766 5896 .
  23. Probably better that big brother deleted my last few words…but considering the source of the post …they were appropriate.
