Pacific storm losing punch; Los Cabos to hit 100 tomorrow
By Ed Kociela A tropical storm that was once forecast as having a high chance of developing into a cyclone is breaking up in the Pacific Ocean about 800 miles south of Los Cabos. The showers and thunderstorms are rapidly becoming less organized, lowering the likelihood of this turning into a major weather event to 30 percent as it moves in a westerly direction at about 10 mph. Meanwhile, the Los Cabos area continues to experience a warming trend with highs today predicted in the 90s and a forecast high of 100 on Tuesday. Ed Kociela is a...

read moreNavy Day in Los Cabos
As the son of a sailor, I’m pretty familiar with the Navy. I mean, not only was Dad a sailor, so were a couple of my uncles. Even my wife served in the U.S. Navy. For the life of me, I can’t figure out how they let this cute little young lady not only certify as a Navy diver, but one who specialized in underwater welding.

Unfortunately, many people still seem to think that they can reduce the size of their belly with some magic set of abdominal exercises.

We had some visitors from the United States last week. We took them around to a couple of places most tourists never see, showed them a few of our favorite hangouts, took them to a couple of shops where we knew they would get some good deals. Then, we took them to our favorite beach, and the water? It looked so empty. The whales, you see, have left for the summer. We explained to our friends how we would sit on the beach for hours, locked behind our binoculars, staring out to sea for those “poofs,” as my wife called them, that would burst...
