Meeting of friends and neighbors

Comments:

This is so great that we can all come together and say howdy and talk over things of interest.We are such a small village and we really need communication-----not gossip --to help us to understand the life in San Miguel.

So many things that "people hear" are not true.

Usually started by a dissident asking a question and getting an unqualified answer but then adding to that the next person he talks to.

Beware of people who ask questions. Even a no answer, or a shrug of your shoulder may put you in a position you never said or meant.

So let us hope that the meeting tomorrow will be a meeting of friends who will look and listen to the ideas of energy saving ways and what is in our future.

I am also aware that many do not wish to hear from me, as my ideas of reality are different from others.

Tomorrow at 3 PM in the restaurant Patio. Keep in mind that Bob has spent a lot of his time trying to have a meeting of understanding people.

Hopefully we will come away with a little bit more info.

Robert Redford Movie Filmed in Baja

Comments:

“All Is Lost” The New Robert Redford Movie Will Be Filmed in Baja!
At the Sundance Filming Festival, J. C. Chandor caught the eye of festival kingpin Robert Redford for its new film: All Is Lost. According to Deadline, the Sundance Kid will tackle the elements in a new environment: the ocean. So far the only specific details are that it will be "a man vs. nature drama that takes place on the water." It will be awesome to see the 75-year-old Redford in command of an entire action-based survival drama, which will give new meaning to "The Old Man and the Sea”, a book by Ernest Hemingway.

All Is Lost will be set up by Zachary Quinto`s company “Before the Door”, and the production will be filming at Baja Studios in Rosarito Beach Mexico, which holds the gigantic water tank used by James Cameron for Titanic and Michael Bay for Pearl Harbor.
J. C. Chandor wrote the screenplay specifically for Redford, so if he`s to keep his dream star. Shooting is currently scheduled to start on June 1st.
According to Arturo Davila, Director of the Department of Economic Development of Rosarito, and Kurt Honold, Director of Baja Studios, the initial investment is 5 million dollars, and in three months the city could have a 15 million dollar profit.
95 percent of the “All is Lost” Baja scenes will be filmed inside the water tank of Baja Studios, which is the second biggest water tank for filming in the world.

This is an incredible film from the Florida Oceanography Institute in the Florida Keys. It is a video, 11 minutes long and very incredible. Dolphin and a dog? I hope you can get this online.

To All San Miguel Property Owners

Comments:

The meeting to discuss the electricity usage/billing at San Miguel will be held this Saturday (5/19) at 3:00 p.m. in the patio area adjacent to the restaurant. It is our hope that the Robertsons will address SM owners on the status of the transformer and meter installation and an interim plan to insure a more fair billing process.

We also hope to have an update from CFE on what they require to provide service to San Miguel.

BE THERE!!!!

Bob

Pod of Whales

Comments:

Back from a relaxing trip from San Miguel. Great weather, friendly waves, and even a visit from former resident Mike.

We heard the Surf contest last week went well but that the pod of whales cruising by got the majority of the attention.

Full moon--the Supermoon

Comments:

Thanks to another SM resident, I have the monthly updates on the full moons. Quite frankly, the moon is very beautiful tonight, but I can only see two stars, perhaps Venus and Mars, but so separate.

I wonder where the stars go. In my childhood Minnesota the sky was full of stars. But I do love to see the changing moon here in San Miguel, more distinct than I remember from Santa Barbara.

And it was exciting to see Mars, Venus and the moon lined up the last few months. And Mars actually shown as red. WOW

So here is the time of the FULL MOON tomorrow in the West Coast. Enjoy it.

Yes, the days have been very mild and beautiful

Comments:

The rains of the week before brought out so many lovely flowers. The skies have been mostly blue this week and just soft breezes.

The Nasturtiums, especially, are going crazy this year, coming up all over, and so many brilliant colors.

The Mexican Surf contest was well attended, with good waves on Saturday, and not so good on Sunday. But the declared winner will go to Cancun in September. There were no loud music or fireworks. A very respectful group.

There was also the motorcycle race in Ensenada, and I understand that one of our SM residents took first place. I did not ask permission to name him, but let us just say--Great Job. Congratulations!
