Kaka Pond (AKA The Creach From The Black Lagoon) - Further to commentary on the beach where the sewage lagoon broke out on May 5th - the beaches are beautiful. I have been walking on the flat wet sand at the water´s edge for 2 weeks with no ill effects whatsoever. There are major earthworks in progress around the pool, but if, as I was told, it broke out from the bottom of the dam, how can raising the dam prevent a recurrence? - Nicola Newton, cortesnic[-at-]hotmail.com, 250 923 2384, Todos Santos

Friday Movie Night - This Friday we will be showing Juno. It's about a teenager who is facing an unplanned pregnancy. The teenager, Juno, devises a plan to locate the proverbial perfect parents to adopt her baby. But the seemingly ideal couple Juno chooses still has some growing up to do. Now, everyone in Juno's world must do a little soul-searching. Michael Cera co-stars while Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner play the pair of affluent yuppies anxious for a child in this offbeat coming-of-age comedy, which won the 2008 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Super cute movie! A must see! The buffet starts at 6:00 and the movie starts at 7:00. Please bring a cushion so that you are more comfortable. We look forward to seeing you!!!!!!!!!!! Please arrive on time to insure a seat! - Jessie Rutowski, jessierutowski[-at-]hotmail.com, 0116121523612, Todos Santos

We're Back! - Eddie and I have returned from our trips up to the U.S. so we're planning on returning to La Canada Del Diablo once again, starting this Thursday (tonight) to play some music at Barbara's Steak Night. Eddie won't be able to make it tonight but watch for his return next week. In the meantime, I'll try to hold things together until he returns.
Over the next few weeks, we hope to introduce some new tunes into the mix now that Eddie has discovered James Taylor, and I've been digging up some old stuff by Gene Pitney and a few others. Barb says you don't need to eat steak if you just want to come on down and enjoy a drink (and, hopefully, the music). BTW, Barb serves up a mean baked potato, salad and bread without the steak if you prefer, and you can bring your own chicken or fish and cook it up on the outdoor grill. No host bar and no cover charge. See you there. - Alan Thompson, alan[-at-]baja1.com, Todos Santos

Still Have Four (Accidental) Puppies Left - Four beautiful, healthy girls, 10 weeks old. Born on Easter Sunday. Mother is a Shepherd Mix. Father is a Boxer Mix. Puppies are friendly and well socialized. They have had the best of care and are now waiting for their Forever Homes. These girls will be medium to large dogs and should make excellent protective companions, based on their parents' temperament. We will pay for spaying when they are old enough. We will also help get them North if you are in the states and wish to rescue a good Baja dog. You can see some early photos if them here: http://www.bajawesternonion.com/puppies.asp - Alan and Debra, alan[-at-]baja1.com, 612 117 0484 or 805 598 7908

Transforms Ordinary Concrete Into Luxurious Floor - Turn Ordinary Concrete Into Luxurious Concrete - Kemiko Stone Tone Stain transforms an ordinary concrete slab into a luxurious floor that resembles marble or glazed stone. When concrete is stained and scored Kemiko creates the appearance of expensive flooring at a fraction of the cost. Unlike paint, Kemiko Stone Tone Stain reacts with the minerals present in the concrete giving it the look and feel of natural stone. Each concrete slab accepts the stain in varying degrees of intensity creating stunning, multi-hued color variations and an uneven surface that looks perfectly aged. Whether working with a neo-classic, Southwestern, eclectic, or strictly traditional decor, Kemiko adapts to enhance any setting. The Kemiko process surpasses all others in terms of permanence and durability. It will not chip, fade, or peel, and will last the lifetime of the surface to which it is applied. -Juan Carlo Vazquez, magiccoast[-at-]cox.net, www.sicia.com.mx, 1 612 348 90 93, Todos Santos
