Note:
Beware, the phone scammers are out there in force!
They have some very cleaver fishing tools for obtaining your
name, family names, buyers and seller's names.
Of course, they are asking for money. Big hint, they
like to ask you to go to Oxxo and deposit money in Oxxo's
"paypal" type account.
Also, yes,
the BPE has been lazy so we're playing the catch-up game
again.

Baja Night Sky #94, Monday, April 4: 1) New
Moon is Thursday, April 7. With sunset around 7:38pm (MDT) along the
Eastcape, it will difficult to spot the thin crescent moon setting
half an hour later. Try to find it Friday evening when it sets an
hour and 40 minutes after sunset. Also look for the evening "star,"
the planet Mercury, just to Moon's lower right on Friday (at the 5
o'clock position). If mountains are to your west, sunset will be 10
to 30 minutes after official sunset. 2) Evening skies are dark and
moonless this week, and almost so Thursday through Sunday. Now is a
great time to join friends on the veranda for an informal star
party. A group of us had a great time Friday morning from 4am to 6am
looking through David G's new 16 inch Dobsonian at Lunar craters,
globular clusters, open clusters, double stars, and Saturn's rings.
We were also entertained by 3 satellite passes, a dozen meteors,
David C's infectious laugh, and swapping stories waiting for turns
at the eyepiece. But just your eyes can take you back thousands of
light years into the universe. Look for smudges in the night sky
with averted vision, then check out what's there with binoculars.

Face It-- Somethings are better togethet. It’s true – it’s
actually more beneficial to use Botox® and Juvaderm fillers together
for facial rejuvenation rather than separately. Not only are the
results more satisfying and impactful, creating an enhanced
aesthetic, but synergistically using these two therapies in
combination with one another prolongs the life of their rejuvenating
effects. It’s a win-win. For appts with Dr. Alma Sat. April 9th

Traffic violation information Copied from

Handicapped Spots, DUI &
Other Baja Traffic Violations posted on BajaInsider.
http://www.bajainsider.com/article/handicapped-spots-dui-other-baja-traffic-violations
Posted by TOMAS on February 03, 2016
Beachside Handicapped Parking - The fine is $7000 pesos and your US
sticker doesn't count
Baja California Sur has begun to crack down on traffic offences. The
latest welcome addition to the revenue source for the city is the
heavy fine levied on those that park in the blue marked handicap
zones without proper plates or stickers displayed.
To be very clear: Handicapped access permits issued in the US or
Canada will not be honored as valid.
To obtain a Mexican Handicapped access permit in Mexico requires a
form and an assessment by a doctor that is submitted to DIFF (The
human services agency of Mexico) and you can be issued a special
permit. You must also hold a Mexican Drivers License
Just prior to the end of the year the Transito Department of La Paz
announced that they would begin aggressively enforcing the state and
federal law with special officers. The fine in is $7000 pesos, and
the city officials clearly stated there will be no early pay
discounts applied to this infraction, nor will any pardon be given.
The first week of February the mid state city of Constitucion has
announced that the will be "booting" cars found parked in specially
designated parking spots.
In California I have known cases where the inconsiderate person
managed to argue and wriggle their way out this infraction if the
posted sign AND the space painting were not present. A little tip:
"That dog don't hunt, in Baja." You'll end up with the ticket and
maybe a little extra with that argument.
Driving Under the Influence: Fifteen years ago this was a joke. The
adage was, "If you are too drunk to walk to the store for more beer,
take the car." and they suspended check points because "they didn't
want to ruin anyone's holiday." That has changed and today many
holiday checkpoints are equipped with breathalyzers. If you are
arrested for drunk driving it will cost you $3000 pesos in Baja Sur
and $5000 to $7000 pesos if accident resulting, PLUS potential
criminal charges for injury and no early pay discounts.
In the event of an accident: Call the police, the second call is to
your insurance agent (Don't tell me you don't have one?) Your agent
will often be your only advocate. He who does the 'hitting' in an
accident is most commonly judged at fault, being a gringo without an
advocate will OFTEN result in the accident being your fault. If the
accident is severe in injury or property damage expect to be
detained. In many cases also expect to be taken to the station for a
Blood Alcohol test if a mobile test unit isn't available. BCS law
states that those with foreign licenses will have their home state
notified of DUI infractions, which could cost you a whole lot more
on your home insurance later.
Do NOT let a Mexican licensed driver use your foreign plated car.
This is not allowed, even with a note from your mommy. This not only
gets you in hot water with Transito, but also Aduana for importation
and can cost you weeks and up to one third the value of your car to
get it back. This INCLUDES someone like me that no longer holds a US
license, although I'm not as likely to be "detected" for it.
Other Traffic Violations of Note:
Let's start by busting another Gringo Rumor Bubble, your car must me
legally registered and current where ever you are from. You can be
sited for expired plates and licenses.
Talking or Texting on a cell phone while driving in either Baja
California or Baja California Sur is an impressive infraction. I'm
not certain, but I believe it to be $800 pesos.
Stop signs: Stopping for these red and white signs is a point of
constant consternation, but in Baja Sur a rolling stop is OK. Pay
attention to who arrives first and tie goes to the runner on the
right. I would suggest taking MORE care if you insist on making full
stops out of habit, and watch for being rear ended.
Drivers must stop in urban areas for pedestrians in crosswalks. This
has been a big money maker in La Paz in the last few years, and
besides, it is so hard to get all of the mess out of the grill work,
so give them a break.
A minimum Mexican liability insurance policy is also required to
drive on Federal Highways in both Baja California and Baja
CaliforniaSur. This is usually an 'add-on ticket' when stopped for
another offence or following an accident. We have always recommended
you drive with liability insurance in Mexico. As a foreign national
you must make restitution for your damages before you can leave the
country, often before you can leave the scene of the accident. THIS
is why Mexican liability insurance is important. You will end up in
jail and your car impounded until the bill is paid. This becomes
particularly critical if you wish to be airlifted to your home
country for treatment. It won't happen until you pay the bill.
No one under the age of 16 may ride in the back of an open truck
without seat and seatbelt.
Now here is a surprising one: Pets must be restrained in the back of
an open vehicle and secured when riding within the vehicle. This is
probably not a bad idea anyway, as in the event of an accident it
save the coroner time in deciding which body parts were yours and
which belonged to the airborne pet.
2016 Baja California Sur registration stickers are now available at
the La Paz Transito offices. Enforcement of this year's stickers
usually begins April 1.
