  1. I give up.  My original mail came from WhatsApp and I have played with so much in sending notices locally that it is now a mess.   Here is my translation for the important part.

    Next Tuesday, November 22 to Friday, November 25, SIMAPA will carry out maintenance work on the water infrastructure. For this reason there will be suspension of service in the streets:

      Emiliano Zapata, Encarnacion Rosas, Felipe Angeles, Lazaro Cardenes, Juarez, Angel Flores, Felipe Angles, Revolucion.

  2. As usual my old brain left out something I wanted to add.    It appears that the workers at that site are working around the clock.   A friend drove by a week ago at midnight and they were working.  I walk every morning on the cyclopista around sunup and they are hard at work.

  3. It has been 3 years since the auditorium was closed for renovation.  I am beginning to wonder if I will live long enough to enjoy more concerts in the auditorium.  Does anyone have factual information specific to the auditorium and when it will be open? The project that they are working on looks impressive, but I want info. on the auditorium opening, por favor.

  4. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Roslyn’s maximum sustained winds had increased to 120 mph (195 kph) early Saturday, and it was expected to grow still further.

    The storm was centered about 200 miles (320 kilometers) south-southwest of Cabo Corrientes — the point of land jutting into the Pacific south of Puerto Vallarta — and moving northwest at 7 mph (11 kph).

    The forecast called for Roslyn to begin shifting to a northward movement and then northeast, putting it on path that could take it close to Cabo Corrientes and the Puerto Vallarta region on Saturday night or early Sunday before making landfall in Nayarit state on Sunday morning.

  5. I have an anecdote that I should have added to my above message:  Speaking of sloshing--

    Around about 1970 I was living in an apartment east of Seattle.  It was the middle of the week and I had the day off.  It was sunny and I was out sitting by the side of pool reading a book.  I remember there were also two ladies out there. No-one was in the pool  Most people were at work.  Suddenly the water in this large pool started sloshing back and forth.  I said, half-joking to the ladies, "earthquake."    Later that evening on the news we heard that there had been a large earthquake in Alaska.

  6. My house in Upper Ajijic must be on bedrock because I did not feel it.  I heard it and I saw it.  First I heard two pieces of metal banging twice at a high pitch.  I looked out the window and saw the water sloshing back and forth in my birdbath. I knew it was an earthquake so I concentrated but I did not feel anything.

    That was it.  I have lived in Mexico over 19 years and I have never felt an earthquake, but at least I heard and saw this earthquake.   I lived in Seattle for 60 years so I know earthquakes.
