Dear Anna, Your
next to last paragraph (last week) says it all. I would rather be there also,
than anywhere else I have ever been. If the stock market will start back in the
right direction, I may yet get to retire and make it before I die... I
look forward to reading "pvmirror.com" every week... at least I can
pretend I am reading the local news... Jim Davis
Dear
Editor, The brief article about "excessive (electric)
fees" in the Oct. 7 issue prompted me to finally write. My friends and I
have been comparing our bills for the last year and no two of us are charged the
same rate, i.e. pesos per kWh. Since Sept/Oct 1997 I have
been charged a different rate on EVERY bill I've received (all at the same address).
Twice this year the rate has jumped into the .7's (March/April .793 and July/Aug
.731). Can anyone from CFE explain how/why different rates
are calculated and who decides what each resident will be charged? Thanks,
MM
Dear Anna, I
remember reading in your column a mention of a place in Vallarta for good fish
and chips and can not find it now. Would you be so kind as to email the name
and address of the business? Thanks, D. O. Dear
D.O., The name of the first -and still the best- Fish 'N Chips place to open
in Vallarta is "La Marinera" and it is located at 171 San Salvador.
That's right across from the new Sr. Frog store at the northern end of town, across
from the Buenaventura Hotel, near the Cinema Luz Maria, just a couple of doors
up from the main drag. Tel.: 222-4424. Anna
Dear
Anna: Since you have asked, I may venture an interpretation
of the tourism statistics in your column, of October 14, 2002: The
people from other places are a small and diminishing group. All other percentages
in the chart must be suspect. Such it is with much of
the "information" that is published. It is unfortunate, but it is all
to frequent. You may want to ask for a clarification from the source. This
type of information could be useful if it were believable and an effort should
be made so that the public can better understand. Sincerely, R.C.

The tourists are coming! The tourists
are coming! Is that why Wal Mart suddenly increased their
prices? (My favorite bath gel went up 40%!) Interesting since their TV commercials
depict a little masked character SLASHING prices. I guess this is the thanks
we get for supporting local businesses all summer. I hope the winter residents
and tourists bring lots of $$$ this year. Pretty Disgusted
Dear
Editor, I have enjoyed the golf articles that Peter has
been doing -- knowing nothing about the game except you hit a white ball
His articles have been both informative and very humorous at the same time. I'm
also glad that Ricky is back writing -- I loved her latest escapade at Barcelona
Tapas!!!! Keep it up! E. P.
Well,
we bantered about these blinking buses all summer - what's going to be done?
Is the press following up? Hopefully these irresponsible people won't be re-elected. Still
