Note: For some reason Gmail is posting a big orange warning on the BPE notification email to that says “Click or paste”. I guess my announcement email looks shady and dangerous. I do fear some people rather than just delete the email they click on the “report spam” button. Think before you click! If you do not want the BPE please send an email with “unsubscribe” on the subject line. bajaponyexpress3@gmail.com

e. For those of you driving down the peninsula you may want to pay attention to the weather sites. Hurricane Rosa is going to have a big impact. Also the Los Cabos area roads are a mess from normal rains. Piles of dirt and standing water everywhere. Additionally, use the new Chevron station near the airport at your own risk. Chris White
f. (1) Just as a reminder, there are three major cell phone providers in Baja, Telcel, Telefonica and AT&T. Service should available to all US phones through those providers since they have cooperative use agreements in both countries. That doesn’t mean you get free calls, it means you will have a connection if you are in range of the towers. Some older Verizon and Sprint phones use CDMA technology and may not work. Before you head south, make sure your calling plans include Mexico.
(2) A great way to avoid a confrontation with the Police is a Dash Camera mounted on your front windshield. Most cameras record all the action on the road but also may record voices as well as speed. If you are stopped and believe you have not committed any violation, the Dash Cam will be your proof. You may also let the officer know that his entire conversation is being recorded.
(3) If you need a backup computer, I recommend a Chromebook. There is a wide variety of models under $200. These computers are great for banking, email, web surfing. They are virtually unhackable for banking.
(4) Amazon will release the “Fire TV Recast” on 14 Nov. With the addition of an external antenna, the device will act as a DVR recording all local programming that you have scheduled. There is NO monthly charge since it is recording the free over-the-air TV signals. You will be able to watch those recorded programs on all mobile devices. With the addition of the Fire TV it should be available on the normal TV. Since it has not been release, I don’t know if we can watch the programming in Baja!!!
