How To Minimize Environmental Impact On The Beaches Of Todos Santos During Turtle Nesting Season -

1. Never drive on the beach
2. Never leave trash on the beach

5. Turn off exterior lighting if you live in towns near nesting beaches
6. Stay at a distance of at least 10 feet from nesting turtles unless a trained guide directs you

8. Donate to conservation programs such as Todos Tortugueros A.C.

More Graffiti - Awoke to a new message on my newly painted wall. Same gringa (yes a female). Political message in English with the same backward swastika signature. She was seen doing it. I now have her name. - Todos Santos

Driving Trucks South Stuffed With Goodies - I am sure the person offering to load his 12-foot box cargo truck with purchases and then driving it south has good intentions, but maybe it would be best to clarify both the written and unwritten "policies" about driving south with merchandise. First, ALL trucks are supposed to pull over at the San Ysidro crossing, by getting in the right lane, and then meeting the customs officials waiting there. If you have a passenger pickup and nothing to declare you may get away with crossing in one of the left lanes, but anyone driving a box cargo truck with US plates is very likely to get pulled over. SECOND you will not only have to deal with the international border crossing but probably 3 or 4 more military checkpoints at which you may have to prove that duties have been paid for all items in the truck. Yes, you may get away with a bribe but there is no guarantee. It all might get confiscated. THIRD, as many of you know, there exists a one-time exemption for people moving to Mexico from the US or Canada but even this can be difficult and a truck loaded with items from various individuals would not be covered. So it is possible you might get lucky and drive this truck all the way down, but I would not recommend it. - Jim Elfers, bajasurvey[-at-]yahoo.com

Plumber Y Electrician - After almost 12 years of frustration I've finally found a plumber/electrician I will use again and recommend to others. And his prices are reasonable. Jose Lopez, Todos Santos 044-612-119-1319 - Scotty Mclemore, scottybcs[-at-]hotmail.com, 612-10-05872

Web Page Design Etc - I'm looking for referrals for a local webpage/graphic design person, and for a reliable cleaning person with their own transportation.Thanks - Leslie Lambert, llambert[-at-]sonic.net, 044 612 135 3302

Dinner And A Movie Night At Buena Vida - This Tuesday we will be showing "No Country For Old Men." A hunter (Josh Brolin) stumbles upon a dead body, $2 million and a stash of heroin in the woods.

The roles of hunter and prey blur as the violent pursuits of money and justice collide. Joel and Ethan Coen direct this dark morality tale, which won four Oscars in 2008, including Best Picture.
