Friday saw a return of the heat and humidity, the kind that sucks the energy out of you the longer you're out walking or working outdoors. If only it would rain and bring the temperature down. Rain is in the forecast for Saturday and the next few days, but there's no guarantee. The rainy season usually ends similarly to how it starts, with this hot and humid weather and forecasts that tease us with rain that doesn't show up. Keeping fingers crossed.

This Saturday at Playa Linda there's going to be a women's surfing competition. El Torneo de Surf Femenil "Zanca Girl" starting at 7:30 A.M. There will be categories for long board, short board and body board. Come and check out the local talent. This should be a lot of fun!

A few more tourists showed up, both national and international visitors. Playa Principal still had a large number of people enjoying the beach and the water as the sun was going down. Restaurant business along the downtown waterfront was a little better this Friday night than the previous night. Some lodging operators are nervous that maybe U.S. citizens are afraid to come.

Whales are returning, so now is a good time to book a charter with my friend Abel Cortéz and his friends at Zihuatanejo Ixtapa Charters or my friend Ramón Olea of the panga "Oleaje".

A huge laúd turtle nest was found the other day at Playa Blanca and its eggs recovered to be incubated in a safe place at the Campamento Tortuguero Ayotlcalli.

Today is the first seasonal nonstop from DFW to ZIH. My wife and I are coming on tomorrow's flight. Saturdays are often busier with weekly hotel turnover.

Or real estate?

Although Mexico does not have a specific “digital nomad” visa, it is possible to live and work as a digital nomad based on foreign assets and income.

Which part was scary? Genuinely want to know what is “happening.”
- stock market hits record high
- bitcoin hits all time high
- EU pledges to buy US gas not Russian gas
- Hamas calls to end war (and Qatar kicks out hamas)
- Putin will sell oil in US dollars

All sounds pretty optimistic, but we love Mexico as well.

The part about having a CRIMINAL, A RAPIST, A TRAITOR, A RACIST, A BIGOT, A XENOPHOBE, A PATHOLOGICAL LYING SOCIOPATHIC NARCISSIST in the White House. The USA used to be known for its decency, its moral values, its system of justice. It's now once again a pariah and the laughingstock of the world. The criminal belongs in jail, not in the Oval Office.

Do you really have no idea how much human suffering is coming? Women, gays and minorities are already being taunted and terrorized. Do you care?

Funny you mention the stock market. One of the first stocks to skyrocket this week was that of private prisons.

"We the People" have lost a nation so many sacrificed so much for to "We the Billionaires". Our forefathers, especially the Founders, would be ashamed.

What a sick sick mind.

Yes, that's precisely what I'm describing. It takes a mind vacant of morality, ethics, compassion, true patriotism and real intelligence to put such a person in charge of the nation. Somehow the USA surrendered to the Russians, the Nazis and the Confederacy all in one night. MAGA is a mental illness!

One can have a difference of opinion on a lot of matters, but not when you support racism, treason, bigotry, xenophobia, rape, and misogyny.

I don’t support any of the heinous things you mention. Which policies of his promote this? Most the things you describe are criminal and in violation of our civil rights. Which of these rights did he use the executive branch to violate in his last term?

And he just confirmed a sick sick mind with his response.

What a sick sick mind.

It seems to me that a Trump vote was a knee-jerk reaction to real or perceived emotional anxieties, largely fueled by disinformation from Russians and right-wing media. And you're absolutely right - it takes a sick mind to think that the things we used to find important - democracy, ethics, the rule of law; compassion, good governance - are still relevant. Better to have a blind, ignorant pig in the Oval Office, as long as he amuses us and confirms our prejudices.

The challenge will be what happens with proposed tariffs? What happens with the big increase in deficit spending when the Trump plans take effect. My suspicion that inflation will heat back up and interest rates will increase, while Congress continues to ignore immigration policy and social security and Medicare as they have for decades. I’m afraid things will unravel quickly as the extend they extend prior tax cuts. You ain’t seen nothing yet.

I think that it's pretty safe to say that most Canadians are shaking their heads going wtf. Remember the saying 'You sleep in the bed you make' I would like to add another saying 'You sleep with dogs you're going to get fleas'

Why are Canadians shaking their heads, they will be voting in Trumps northern cousins, the Conservatives, who are not much different than extreme right wing policies of Trump. Mexico, the only bright light in North America is at least trying to help the people rather than the corporations

So true as if elections were held today, Poilievre would win and he is very similar in his policies to Trump...

Gotta question a country where being a felon can prevent you from voting but not from being President. Shades of Jim Crow.
