Some good news for locals. Sergio Vázquez Rosas is back on the air on FM Globo 98.5 with his program Zona Libre from 10 to 11:30 weekday mornings. It appears like the municipal government is again trying to block his signal this morning, but it came through fine on Globo 98.5's Facebook page. Give a listen to the man whom successive municipal governments don't want you to hear.

Between Sunday morning's the little tremor and this Monday's brief but noteworthy torrential deluge that temporarily brought most of Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa to a halt, we are constantly reminded of our fragility in the living land. If there had been just a few more minutes of that torrential downpour, a lot of downtown homes and businesses would've seen some bad flooding. The rain let up just in time. But such events always serve as reminders. All those new concrete roads on our hillsides have no pluvial drainage, so all that water comes downhill quicker than ever whereas previously the ground soaked up enough of it to take hours or days before any flooding occurred beyond the usual on Cinco de Mayo and the corner of Benito Juárez and Avenida La Boquita.

If I had to be stuck anywhere in the rain or on a beautiful sunny day, I wouldn't mind one tiny bit if it were somewhere like Villa Zanzibar with their mesmerizing view of the bay. Truly one of the loveliest lodgings at La Ropa in one of the most peaceful areas of our community.
