a. More American Expatriates Give Up Citizenship - Here is an article from the New York Times that we thought many here would find interesting: www.nytimes.com/2010/04/26/us/26expat.html?scp=1&sq=renouncing%20us%20citizenship&st=cse

QUESTIONS

a. When we were in Los Barriles last winter we met the sisters MariZonia and Xochitl (also known as “Gypsy”) who work at the Cultural Center in San Antonio, near El Triunfo. We promised to send them a CD of some photos and music at their P.O. Box mailing address in San Diego. When we got home in April we couldn’t find their mailing address. We don’t know how to reach them now as we have no phone number or email address. Does anyone know them, or is willing to stop at the Center in San Antonio and inquire? If so, please tell them Bob and Cathryn are looking for the mailing information. Thank you very much. Please email us a Cathryn.rice@gmail.com  if you can help.

b. We have a nasty parasitic weed, which pops out of and vines around the host plant and chokes it. It gets a tiny flower shaped seed cluster, no leaves, and it is yellowish in color. We believe it is called dodder. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? It has appeared on our young citrus trees, bouganvillia, and sesau; many of which we have removed. It is attacking our sesau "fence" right now, and we fear it will take over with the growing season upon us. burnsinbaja@gmail.com

c. I know that you can't bring full gas cans across the border (into Baja), but can someone tell me if the following items can be brought across?
- empty propane tanks?
- power tools like blowers or chainsaws with gas in them, or should they be run dry?
- insecticides like Roundup?
- bottles of alcohol?
Gracias! edgerety@comcast.net

d. I returned on Alaska Airlines this past week, having checked one bag. It took a very long time for my luggage to get onto the luggage belt and now I know why. My laptop's power cord, a small baggies with cd's and other things are missing. Do I have any recourse? If I order another cord, can it be sent down here? Any help would be greatly appreciated! wadeinthewater2@aol.com
