Medicine — the healthy side of Baja tourism
I did Tijuana tourism and San Diego tourism for years, and, now retired, still have a web page or two on it all. I make not one penny on any of it nowadays. All I want is to have you be informed of every possible scam or pitfall, plus what it looks like, in advance. That way you have a great time, never get cheated, and understand everything. That is what a good tour guide does. My page on Tijuana is at www.NZ9F.com/TJ, and I have not taken any money on it, nor will I. On second thought, since I feed starving people in TJ every day, any money I would take in can go to them, but not me. Dr. John Kitchin. No, I am NOT Slomo, who has the same name!— August 23, 2013 10:51 p.m.
City will indemnify resigning Filner, with some hedges
Lynch "MOB" is a good description, since a "cabal" is actually a Jewish Kabbal, similar to the Catholic K of C (illuminati) or the Protestant Freemasons (knights templar). They are part of the real Mafia, not the Hollywood Mafia of the Sopranos and Godfather. They run things like who gets into a medical school, who gets a real estate license, that sort of thing. A secret underground organization, and there are thousands. I give you a web link on a different comment for the entire nine yards on all that. University of Wisconsin? I worked there on a newspaper called "Off The Pigs!" and another called "The People´s Office News", but mostly I worked at the UWM Post, at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee.— August 23, 2013 10:42 p.m.

This comment was removed by the site staff.Are smaller brewpubs over and out?
I brewed beer and taught others how back when that was still felony bootlegging. Ending up with the Brewmaster Degree, I did all that long before the advent of the micro-breweries. Good to hear that they are mostly doing okay, now that 99.9% of the world beer is brewed by only two entities: Miller-Coors-Tecate-Heineken (Phillip Morris Tobacco), and Anheuser-Busch-Budweiser-Modelo-Corona-Pacifico. I really out to come out of retirement and either teach or brew. Dr. John Kitchin— August 23, 2013 9:13 p.m.

Oh, one other thing, Don, the Mafia routinely wiretaps using shotgun mikes from nearby hotels. That, too, happened to me. Dr. John Kitchin— August 23, 2013 9:07 p.m.

Yikes! The Mob, using their media cronies, completely exaggerated what was mostly office flirting, and then found liars to back that up. Happened to me once, big press media event. And, do you know what a "cabal" is? Some clues on my website, www.NZ9F.com/Gnosis.— August 23, 2013 9:06 p.m.
Banners placed across Tijuana denounce abuse by state police
The primary thing to remember when protesting in Mexico is to not get caught.— August 23, 2013 9:02 p.m.
Medicine — the healthy side of Baja tourism
I have a friend in Tijuana who is a doctor, dentist, and a plumber, and said his plumbing license was far more difficult to obtain than the other two. Some health professionals in Tijuana are excellent, but this is not necessarily so, and US professionals have complained about sterility of instruments, as autoclaves are not the standard. So, it is far more possible to contract HIV. Since the average doctor who deals with the Mexican public makes less than $5 per hour, it is certainly a good price, but those who deal with Americans try to charge an American sort of price. Fine and good, but in Mexico is is generally NOT possible to sue for malpractice, or even intentional harm. If your insurance will cover a US visit, that is probably a good choice, because if a mistake is made (or the doctor is high on dope), you can at least sue for damages.— August 23, 2013 8:57 p.m.
Baja California received more than 25% of deportations in 2012 from U.S.
The influx of something like 125,000 deportees a year into Tijuana causes intense problems regarding housing, employment, even food. Once upon a time, recently, deportees were taken to the nearest international airport to their homes in Mexico, but money is no longer available to do that. What is worse, most deportees are same due to criminal activity, as the US no longer deports most illegal immigrants. So, criminals are received daily in Tijuana, causing the city to become sort of like the movie "Escape From New York".— August 21, 2013 5:38 p.m.
Fire moves from open space to El Cajon homes
There have been enough of these that I suspect someone is trying to burn down the homeless camps, and I mean a non-homeless arsonist, trying to get homeless out of their area.— August 21, 2013 5:32 p.m.
