A/C removes salt?

No, silly, a sealed air-conditioned room keeps sensitive electronic equipment from being exposed to the salty air OUTSIDE and everywhere else near the coast.

I thought air conditioners were for wimps, tourists and recent ex-pats?

It's comforting to know that even some locals seek salvation in air conditioning.

I have an office with expensive electronic equipment that needs the A/C to run cool as well as for protection from the salty air. I don't live or sleep with A/C like you Yankee wimps.

As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,558 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (four more than yesterday), 124 that have resulted in fatalities, 17 that are currently active, and approximately 1,314 that have recovered.

Saw three gringas or canadienses early this morning all chattering giddily as they walked down our street without facemasks. I simply can't fathom why they would think it's okay for them to forego them here. Don't they realize anyone who looks like a gringo or gringa who isn't wearing a facemask scares the crap out of locals? Just because you're on vacation doesn't mean you leave common sense and established health protocols at home. Locals are up before sunrise going to markets, to work or to exercise. Not cool, ladies.

A BIG SHOUT OUT to my friend Lucio Soberanis, my go-to person for everything related to air conditioners. Came by to give mine a charge up and explained to me about the new economic A/C units that were discussed here recently. Now I almost can't wait for my A/C unit to die. Going on 8 years and still runs like new. ¡Gracias, Lucio!

A real shame to see our pier so empty even at this "late" hour of the morning (if the sun's already up you're late going fishing, though it's the usual hour for many tourists).
