Gov. Vega, You Are Forgiven

One of the current things going on in Baja California is a replating of all cars.

This means that it's out with the old and in with the new as far as license plates are concerned and I truly missed the old ones that paid homage to the wine industry in the state.  Honestly, I go, "Meh," when I see the new graphic plates.

I recently found out why this is happening.  There is now a new regulation in Mexico stating that the plates graphics cannot intrude on the plate number.  Makes sense, and the new design does just that.  So I won't complain too loudly about the new design.

That said, this regime has left it's mark and we will see what the next one does in two years.

Oh, No. It's the Bank Statement

I just spent a week and a half in Tijuana.

I also needed the ABA Number for my bank for another form.

This meant going online to get the number.  I saw my balance and noted it was higher than I originally thought - even with a charge that was unexpected.  I then looked at the statement's detail.  It turns out that I spent less money in Tijuana than I thought.  This even includes one night out on a date.

Something tells me, I should spend more time there - especially since there are two Sorianas with decent delis and one of them is a Hiper Soriana.

The other nice thing about my bank is that I get free ATM withdrawals in Mexico.

Guess that means I should spend more time there.
