Go Slow: Caye Caulker, Belize
Visited Caye Caulker (Corker) for a week in February of 1974. No air tanks available and only a daily water taxi available...the way it should be. Culture at that time was scary: If a woman left her house she was "Inviting" rape by one of the locals. Our hostess had 22 children. A U.S. citizen who owned a small cafe was beaten and raped because she made a joke that "Slighted" a local man. The only reason he was prosecuted is because another U.S. citizen held him for authorities. The biggest movie hit was "Mondo Bondo"...hopefully the island has gotten away from the blood and guts catholicism it was steeped in. Rusty— April 21, 2010 10:52 a.m.
Fifth Avenue Landing welcomes mega-yachts to San Diego
Oops, meant El Coral Hotel and Marina. And we're talking maybe $45,000,000 per year in avoided taxes.— March 12, 2009 8:23 a.m.
Fifth Avenue Landing welcomes mega-yachts to San Diego
Tip of the iceberg: The "90 day yacht club" allows California boat buyers to buy a yacht "Offshore" and take it to Ensenada for 90 days. See the Coral Casino Hotel and Marina for where the boats usually go. Upon return to California the yacht buyer pays NO STATE TAXES! Juan Vargas tried to get this subsidy to the rich closed, but I don't think it passed. Another example of Kleptocracy at work...meanwhile a mile away young and mostly poor Americans train at MCRD to fight our Empire's Wars. Ah Rome, you can smell the flames.— March 12, 2009 8:07 a.m.
