Alzeimers, and Puerto Escondido, a ghost town.

Where to start.  So much has happened in the last year that I am at a loss for a starting point.  But shall share a really interesting Utube video, that might interest anyone with an interest in Alzeimers.

Paulette sent this to me today and I just had to share it.

We are back in Baja for a couple of weeks and enjoying it a lot!  Just had a real high when we drove in and saw all the beautiful clear water, and the sun, and our boat floating just where it should be.  Has been fun getting it all cleaned up, the bad storm that they had early in March left parts of leaves and debris on the decks, and sand and dust everywhere down below, but what the hay, we have lots of time to clean it up.  Spent the morning sitting in the cockpit  drinking coffee  amid all the boxes and bags that we had dragged out of the truck last night.  And I refused to feel guilty about it!

We are sorry to see that Puerto Escondido is really becoming a ghost town.  Our favourite restaurant here has always been Pedros, and Sat. is the official closing.  Also his store is going, and the Modelerama up the street at Tripui is also closing sometime in May.  The bay has only got a handful of boats left, while the waiting room is packed.  This is one of the most beautiful bays in the Baja, and we can only blame this atrocity on poor management, because this place should be a huge money maker.

Wandering the Marshall Islands

Some Scuttlebutt from the Marshall Islands We have been out and about for the past 4 months visiting some of the atolls in the Marshall Islands, and I would highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a good hurricane/cyclone hideout.  Checking out the Likiup atoll. The first place we all go is to Majuro, which is the check in port for yachts coming mostly from the south. But don't let yourself get stuck here, and miss the other atolls. I know how easy it is, there is a Tues. night yachties night out, and it seems hard to get away when Tues is coming up soon. Also shipping boat parts and even coffee in from the US is relatively cheap because of the US postal service here. So many distractions that keep us all tied to buoys. But drop the buoy and go exploring. it is really worth it. The atolls are all really different. They have had a variety of influences. Woje and Maleolap in particular played a large part in the wars, so there are sunken ships and planes to

Shortfall on Pension Plans

Image
Gary was reading me “Thoughts from the Frontline” by John Mauldin this morning while we were sitting in the cockpit and I was drinking my coffee. Normally I don't pay 100 % before coffee, but a couple of things hit me while I was listening. John goes on to talk about the USA cities and states primarily and the pension funds that have been promised to all government workers, and how they have all based their interest on their funds on 7% returns, and further with a lot of facts to back this up states that they are getting close to 3% return on their bonds and stocks. So the money has to come from somewhere, and it seems to be tied back to the taxpayers. Either the property owners or the state taxes. If you wish to read the entire article it can be found at http://www.mauldineconomics.com/frontlinethoughts/promises-promises-pension-promises Normally I don't get too involved with the economics papers, sort of the lesse faire attitude, that what will be will
