Ajijic must emulate cleaner towns

Dear Sir,

Recently, a group of people from the Lake Chapala Society were invited to spend the day in Tepatitlan, a town in Jalisco with 100,000 inhabitants. What struck me and a number of others was how clean the town was – I only saw one piece of garbage in the street the entire time we were there.


Letterman’s absolute nonsense

Dear Sir,
Word is out that the owner of Televisa dropped American Network because of that stupid commercial of David Letterman’s where he puts on a big sombrero (looking as Mexican as Bugs Bunny) and continues on about when he is in Mexico how he watches Televisa.

We owe a great big thank you

Dear Sir,

I went out this morning for my daily “dog walk” in Ajijic. As I turned onto the carreterra heading toward the park, I ran into a group of 10-15 young adults in orange CONALEP T-shirts with trash bags picking up trash.

Thank You

Dear Sir,
I want to say a huge thank you to the wonderful Mexican people who came to my rescue this week.

International kindness

Dear Sir,

Last Monday I went shopping at Wal-mart to buy a large box of chocolates for my kind and generous Dutch friend’s birthday. I found what I wanted but, unfortunately, the rather heavy box was on the upper shelf. Leaning on my cane, standing on tiptoes, I reached for it but it came down on my forehead next to my hairline.

Fairer way to compare medals

Dear Sir:

The Pan American Games are an offshoot of the Olympic Games, which began as competition among individual athletes but are now viewed as a competition among nations, representing the increasing nationalism that many people deplore.

Clean up your own act

Dear Sir,

Rick Perry, as a presidential candidate you should stop telling other countries to clean up what you should be doing in your own country.
