On Zih Güey

Our mayor announced yesterday that the reconstruction of our municipal pier should begin within a few days. In a meeting with fishermen and water taxis he announced that somehow the pier will remain partially open while work on the new one is carried out. We shall see.

Lupita says she is out of school supplies for children, so if anyone would like to bring some down or drop off a donation for Lupita to purchase what is needed, now would be a good time. We all are very grateful for your kindness and generosity.

For 9 straight weeks the peso has gained in value against the US dollar. The longest period of sustained gains in 20 years. Where are all those doomsayers who were predicting the opposite? Hey, even I admit I was partially wrong about AMLO ruining our economy. He may be a populist and a socialist, but everyone except the opposing political parties seems to approve of what he's doing. He's already saved the nation billions of pesos by cracking down on the organized criminals responsible for the theft of fuels from Pemex. Can't hardly wait until he goes after the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE). That should be almost as as much fun as taking down the huachicoleros.

It was a beautiful late afternoon/early evening along the waterfront yesterday. Once the Tránsitos close the street the area seems to transform itself as families, friends and couples stroll about. Closing Juan N. Álvarez really improves the ambiance downtown on Sunday evenings, as we long expected it would decades ago when the idea was first proposed and attempted but not really accepted by local businesses. I'm unaware of anyone who is complaining about it now.

Reality check the peso is at 19. From here is more likely to go to 22 than 16 but hey if your .001 weekly gain is something for celebration...…….so be it, party on Garth!

Glad to see you answered when addressed, Señor Doomsayer. Just calling you out and keeping you honest. Has nothing to do with me. You predicted the exact opposite of what has happened due to or populist socialist president who in such a short time has already saved the nation billions of pesos in lost revenue, and he's only just getting started. The money he's spent to provide for the poor including the "caravans" is still much less than he's saved.

BTW, we never had these "caravans" in Mexico until The Chump was in office. Lots of folks here and further south suspect he and his supporters are behind these caravans of extremely misinformed people, using them as fodder for his "base" to focus on and rail against.

Peso mexicano de fiesta: 9 semanas de ganancias, cambio al dólar el 28 de enero y por qué

We will be by this week to drop off our school supplies and glasses

¡Gracias! That's terrific news!

I think she has a sign for folks to drop off glasses between noon and 2pm, but anytime you can stop by is fine. Siesta time we don't answer the door if we're home, but the rest of the day someone is usually here. But just in case Lupita isn't in or no one answers, our good neighbors at Café Caracol on the corner of our home can receive any donation. They are 100% trustworthy.
