Hey, my apologies to anyone expecting to find something Presidio-related on this page during 2010. What can I say? It's been a great year in Presidio; time flies when you're having fun.
We're almost to November, and what a beautiful Fall it's been. Of course, Fall in Presidio is like late summer in most other places. The mornings are mild and afternoons are still quite warm. But it's usually around this time of the year when we get our first cold snap, so don't be surprised when that happens. On the plus side, Presidio winters are almost an oxymoron. If it doesn't get above 70 F on a January afternoon, that's a chilly day.
Presidio got a new, state-of-the-art sulfur-sodium battery this year (for power outages), along with many new paved streets. We're gettin' there...
On the down side in "things Presidio" I keep watching and waiting for a hopeful sign of Mexico to turn the corner with its internal issues. At least for right now, gone are the days when you could travel Mexico with hardly a care. In the past I ventured into rural areas where most tourists wouldn't think about going. Now even I am nervous. It's not really the cartels that I worry about, because I am of no value to them. It's the lower-tier criminal element who have been emboldened by the general chaos to prey upon others through kidnapping, extorting, and being a general pain in the ass to the populace. It's really unfortunate.
Any up for a bike ride on a sunny Sunday afternoon?
