State health authorities for Guerrero report NO active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, La Unión or Petatlán. Inquiries to be tested have fallen drastically at the health clinic "El Embalse". Only 2 new cases were reported today for the entire state of Guerrero.

Twitter banned me today for referring to myself as a "Gringo" when I responded to Dan Rather that my wife "makes me the Luckiest Gringo in Mexico." They called it "hate speech." The ban ends if I delete my post, but I refuse to. Fukkem! What utter stupidity by Twitter.

Sunday the humidity was a bit higher and the temps a tad warmer. Still extremely comfortable. Unfortunately the bay appeared to have red tide in it Sunday morning, and the smell of dead fish was noticeable. Bummer. Yet the city still issues no warnings, comments or recommendations yet still stupidly maintains all their stupid Blue Flag restrictions.

The Feria de Petatlán started today! This is a lot of fun and a wonderful regional cultural event. I hope some of you make the trip. I think you'll enjoy the event. I always have whenever I've gone. It's like a big fair and a flea market where you can buy all kinds of goodies large and small. And there's lots of excellent entertainment including a rodeo, music, incredible food stalls, yummy desserts and delicious drinks.

For folks on a budget there are still excellent lodgings available within easy walking distance of the beach. One of my favorites is Areca Suites located in the huerta at La Ropa. Run by very good people. Stay a little longer and enjoy yourself a little more.

I know that folks from the US are referred to as Gringos, but can that word be translated into English?

Este Chicano no es Gringo.

I know that folks from the US are referred to as Gringos, but can that word be translated into English?

According to a few online dictionaries, it is now an English word. The online Oxford dictionary says that it is a derogatory term for annoying white foreigners.

That is why it was probably banned on Twitter. They don't realize that it has become a term of endearment in most contexts. They need to visit Mexico more often!

Well excuse me, but the friggin dictionary is WRONG. Oxford and Twitter can kiss my rock hard GRINGO ass!

I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh. You're now in Twitter jail with Trump.

They can keep it. What imbeciles!

So all the businesses (100's or more) with 'Gringo' in the biz name throughout the US and Mexico should have to change or shut down per Twitter ignorant logic? Sadly I'm not surprised we've got to this point.

Sincerely, A Gringo living in in Mexico that uses the word Gringo.

Getting in trouble for calling yourself a gringo, now that's a good one. I guess my friend who's real name is Richard, but has been called "Dick" his whole life shouldn't go on twitter, because Houston there's going to be a problem.
