TROPICAL STORM PAUL
Don't put away
those sandbags just yet. Looks like yet another potential hurricane could be
headed our way this year. Making a virtual U turn out in the Pacific, Tropical
Storm Paul is predicted to become a hurricane by Tuesday morning with a possible
storm track passing just south of Cabo San Lucas and striking the mainland of
Mexico by Wednesday. Enough already!

CAR
DETAILING
Found a great place to get my car detailed.
Pedro of Nuevo Sol washed my mini-van inside and out and waxed it as well, all
for 200 pesos. For another 50 pesos, he pounded out a slight dent in the front.
You can see his sign, Nuevo Sol, on Calle Nicholas Bravo just up from the
bomberos and on the corner by Robert Saltzman's office. Turn right at the sign
and go about half a block, then turn right into his driveway. He's building a
small shade structure in the front so you can't miss it. He doesn't speak
English but it didn't pose a problem. Give him a little more time than he
initially estimates, however, to pick up your car. --

RECENT MAIL TO THE BAJA WESTERN

"GREAT JOB you guys, keep it up !!!" - Bill
Herrera
------------------------
"I love what you are doing. I
have had my place in Todos Santos since 1992 but am only a part-time resident
until I can find my way south on a more permanent basis. The connection that you
provide is so fun for me sitting here is Malibu watching my other world through
your efforts. You are filling a gap for ride sharing, barter, references,
house sitting, healthy living and all the other stuff that is missing.
I
cannot wait to take advantage of the first message that fits my schedule or
need. I am having an internal bet about what it might be that captures me
enough to respond to some participant. This morning, it simply is my desire to
thank you for filling the communication gap." -
