Our community has lost a very cool man. For those of you that knew Dan Fogle, he passed Dec 25, 2015. An adventurer, a mayor, an engineer, a bicyclist, a champion motocross rider. An all around very nice man. You will be missed Dan. I am sure he is riding and on another adventure in our great beyond.
==================================================

The Catholic services for New Year’s will be the same as for Christmas. New Year’s eve, 7:00PM and New Year’s day 11:00AM and 6:00PM. Stay safe.

There is a new internet forum / discussion board/ ad board for our community:

=======================================

Via the Gringo Gazette:  At least 20 homes and retail shops were totally destroyed when a fire raged through Santa Rosalia, north of La Paz. The town was a candle waiting to be lit, as it is the only town on the Baja where most structures are made of wood. The wood was ballast in the ships that came down to Mexico to haul ore back to the States. Free wood! Wouldn’t you go down to the docks to scavenge through to build your home?  Also this fire did so much damage because the homes and shops were all joined together. They actually had to bulldoze down some intact, supposedly safe structures before the fire got there, in order to create a fire break.  There were minor injuries, no deaths.
We’re a little safer from this kind of tragedy, because all our structures are built of concrete.

ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS

a.   I FOUND MY BRACELET. Thanks so much to everyone who asked me about my lost bracelet. My husband and I went through the garbage this morning, and it was in the very bottom of the garbage can. I must have had it in my hand with something else, and was just not thinking. It was a 60th birthday gift from our dog, Bean, who died 4 years ago and it means so much to me. Thanks, Sandy
