Another Closure at Chula Vista’s Otay Ranch Center Mall
I could not agree more, V. That whole Otay Ranch scene, in my opinion, is nothing but a big pile of wishful thinking. I do not see how that area will bring the big bucks. Especially since there are so many northern properties going for fire sale prices now. Only time will tell.

Windmills of Change in Ocotillo
Incidentally, the policy has always been to allow open and free camping within the Anza-Borrego State Park area (except for the requirement to have an Adventure Pass). Does anyone know if that has changed as a result of these towers? Some are clearly in the park. I'm wondering if it is forbidden to camp within "X" feet of these towers now.

Windmills of Change in Ocotillo
Well, the winds and flash floods made that east/west railroad link impossible, maybe they will do the same with these towers.

Mexico Celebrates 102 Years Since Revolution
Exactamente! Or, more likely, the criminals go to jail and then mysteriously escape,

Hurry-up offense
It is critically important that desalinization be developed. The Southwest needs alternative water sources and the sooner the better. It is also obvious that this should not be done by a private company who will make the cost of the water prohibitive simply for the sake of higher profit. The State or Fed should step in and develop a public/private enterprise to build, maintain, and monitor a desalinization facility.

Mexico Celebrates 102 Years Since Revolution
Thanks for the vid link, Refried. What a difference as compared to what we might expect from our police dept here. Can you imagine our police dept in a parade demonstrating how to put 4 men on one motorcycle? Or, a cop diving under another as they drive over him on motorcycles? Never happen, and that is the cultural difference and I say Viva Mexico! Those guys know what a parade is for!

Romney gossip
I hear that, but considering the guy is living here now, I suspect there will be many sightings of Mitt & family out doing what people do, are the prazzi and others going to report each and every simple and common thing they do? Don't get me wrong, I do not like the guy; did not vote for him and am very thankful (considering what day it is) that he did not win the election, so I hope people do not continue treating him like a celeb and possibly causing him to think he should consider running for some office here now that he's a resident. In other words, let the dead dog stay dead.

Travel warnings
I hear that. Most of my buddies who were die-hard Baja freaks have totally cooled it in terms of going down there. No more honky-tonkin in TJ'; no more runs to Puerto Nuevo for lobster; no more cruisin' down to Ensenada to see what the fishing boats are bringing in; no more camping trips down the Gulf of California coast. Everyone has gone nervous, worried they might get robbed, shot, or whatever. Personally, I think it's tragic. Mexico used to be nothing but a good time. I used to love dragging friends down to the Ring by the Sea and arguing about the cultural significance and importance of bullfighting. Now, I can't get anyone to go. I read, often in this very venue, that people are going down there all the time with no problems. I see multi-cultural/multi-national music and art festivals happening down there and hear of no serious problems. I believe the usual "Baja Runs" with cars, bikes, and runners have continued in spite of what appears in the papers. Personally, I think Americans are over-reacting to the dangers. By not going down there and patronizing the businesses we contribute to the poverty. Impoverished people do things they would otherwise never do, and so the circle goes on. I hope things change and change fast. The Mexican people are totally cool and do not deserve the problems the cartels and others have caused them.

Topless males vs. topless females
You can say that again. You should talk to the people in Chula Vista; they recently became experts on the subject.
— November 21, 2012 5:43 p.m.
Romney gossip
I hope this doesn't continue. Mitt was seen checking the air in his tires; Mitt was seen going to the men's room; Mitt was seen scratching his head; Mitt was seen looking in a store window. Puh-leese. Why would anyone now care what Mitt does unless he decides on another run for office?

Another Closure at Chula Vista’s Otay Ranch Center Mall
I could not agree more, V. That whole Otay Ranch scene, in my opinion, is nothing but a big pile of wishful thinking. I do not see how that area will bring the big bucks. Especially since there are so many northern properties going for fire sale prices now. Only time will tell.— November 23, 2012 11 p.m.
Windmills of Change in Ocotillo
Incidentally, the policy has always been to allow open and free camping within the Anza-Borrego State Park area (except for the requirement to have an Adventure Pass). Does anyone know if that has changed as a result of these towers? Some are clearly in the park. I'm wondering if it is forbidden to camp within "X" feet of these towers now.— November 23, 2012 8:34 p.m.
Windmills of Change in Ocotillo
Well, the winds and flash floods made that east/west railroad link impossible, maybe they will do the same with these towers.— November 23, 2012 8:28 p.m.
Mexico Celebrates 102 Years Since Revolution
Exactamente! Or, more likely, the criminals go to jail and then mysteriously escape,— November 23, 2012 8:24 p.m.
Hurry-up offense
It is critically important that desalinization be developed. The Southwest needs alternative water sources and the sooner the better. It is also obvious that this should not be done by a private company who will make the cost of the water prohibitive simply for the sake of higher profit. The State or Fed should step in and develop a public/private enterprise to build, maintain, and monitor a desalinization facility.— November 23, 2012 8 p.m.
Mexico Celebrates 102 Years Since Revolution
Thanks for the vid link, Refried. What a difference as compared to what we might expect from our police dept here. Can you imagine our police dept in a parade demonstrating how to put 4 men on one motorcycle? Or, a cop diving under another as they drive over him on motorcycles? Never happen, and that is the cultural difference and I say Viva Mexico! Those guys know what a parade is for!— November 22, 2012 11:32 p.m.
Romney gossip
I hear that, but considering the guy is living here now, I suspect there will be many sightings of Mitt & family out doing what people do, are the prazzi and others going to report each and every simple and common thing they do? Don't get me wrong, I do not like the guy; did not vote for him and am very thankful (considering what day it is) that he did not win the election, so I hope people do not continue treating him like a celeb and possibly causing him to think he should consider running for some office here now that he's a resident. In other words, let the dead dog stay dead.— November 22, 2012 10:33 a.m.
Travel warnings
I hear that. Most of my buddies who were die-hard Baja freaks have totally cooled it in terms of going down there. No more honky-tonkin in TJ'; no more runs to Puerto Nuevo for lobster; no more cruisin' down to Ensenada to see what the fishing boats are bringing in; no more camping trips down the Gulf of California coast. Everyone has gone nervous, worried they might get robbed, shot, or whatever. Personally, I think it's tragic. Mexico used to be nothing but a good time. I used to love dragging friends down to the Ring by the Sea and arguing about the cultural significance and importance of bullfighting. Now, I can't get anyone to go. I read, often in this very venue, that people are going down there all the time with no problems. I see multi-cultural/multi-national music and art festivals happening down there and hear of no serious problems. I believe the usual "Baja Runs" with cars, bikes, and runners have continued in spite of what appears in the papers. Personally, I think Americans are over-reacting to the dangers. By not going down there and patronizing the businesses we contribute to the poverty. Impoverished people do things they would otherwise never do, and so the circle goes on. I hope things change and change fast. The Mexican people are totally cool and do not deserve the problems the cartels and others have caused them.— November 22, 2012 10:23 a.m.
Topless males vs. topless females
You can say that again. You should talk to the people in Chula Vista; they recently became experts on the subject.— November 21, 2012 5:43 p.m.
Romney gossip
I hope this doesn't continue. Mitt was seen checking the air in his tires; Mitt was seen going to the men's room; Mitt was seen scratching his head; Mitt was seen looking in a store window. Puh-leese. Why would anyone now care what Mitt does unless he decides on another run for office?— November 21, 2012 10:41 a.m.
