President Claudia Sheinbaum calmly stopped her press conference when the 6.5 magnitude trembler shook the room and set off the country's earthquake alert system.

The quake shook Guerrero, Mexico, early Friday, disrupting Sheinbaum's first news conference of the year. Some residents rushed into the streets after hearing the Mexican Seismic Alert System, which was put into place following the deadly 1985 earthquake that killed at least 5,000 people.

Cold, yet not supercold as prior days and very thick fog. How should the holy 3 kings find us to bring their moolah's at Epiphany? 👑

Hace frío, pero no tanto como en días anteriores, y hay una niebla muy densa. ¿Cómo nos encontrarían los Reyes Magos para traernos su dinero en la Epifanía?

Very much worth to watch, lot's of action.
Honda got its first taste of Dakar glory in 2026 on Stage Three with a win by Tosha Schareina.
The Spaniard, second last year and second in the W2RC season, topped the 421-kilometer special by 2:17s ahead of Monster Energy Honda teammate Ricky Brabec.
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Daniel Sanders took third on the stage and continues to lead the overall by just over a minute.

Mitch Guthrie led a Ford 1-2 in the third stage of the Dakar Rally to snatch the overall lead from Dacia rival Nasser Al-Attiyah.
Toyota’s mixed form in the 2026 Dakar continued in Stage 3. After securing a landmark 1-2-3-4-5 lockout on Monday, most of the Japanese manufacturer’s line-up was never in the reckoning around Al-Ula.

The "harvest" of trash littering from +/- 1 day on camino from enter the forest to the well, about 750 meters. Sad!

La "cosecha" de basura tirada durante aproximadamente un día de camino, desde el bosque hasta el pozo, a unos 750 metros. ¡Qué pena!

Luciano Benavides continued his impressive form at the 2026 Dakar Rally by winning Stage 8 and moving into the overall lead after the longest special of this year’s event. The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider delivered a near-flawless performance on the 483-kilometer test, collecting maximum time bonuses and securing his third stage win of the rally.

Saood Variawa edged out Toyota team-mate Henk Lategan in the final dash to the finish line to claim victory in the eighth stage of the 2026 Dakar Rally.
Despite being the longest stage of the 48th edition of Dakar, the 483km special around Wadi ad Dawasir offered the closest competition so far in the rally, with the top eight drivers separated by just under a minute at the halfway point of the day.

Saturday morning, semi sunny and cold after a rainy night. Weird weather! Not having to much experience with area living here15 month but no recall rain at this time last year.
Anyway, glad this week is over after being impacted nby some sort of virus, not a flu, no fever but otherwise all flu symptoms, a real bad dry cough and respiration problems.
It was for several days REAL cold, that might be the reason for illness as well the construction crew on site - all members - coughing like crazy, they may passed on the bug.
The cold weather may also be reason for one of the La Media Luna pooches having a severe cold....

Sábado por la mañana, semisoleado y frío después de una noche lluviosa. ¡Qué tiempo tan raro! No tengo mucha experiencia viviendo aquí durante 15 meses, pero no recuerdo que lloviera por estas fechas el año pasado.
En fin, me alegro de que esta semana haya terminado después de haberme visto afectado por algún tipo de virus; no una gripe

Lo esperamos todos los días del año.
Excelente día clientes.

It's been a prized spice for thousands of years due to its ability to bring flavour to even the blandest of foods. Black pepper was first cultivated in India more than 3,500 years ago, where the plant that produces the spice is native; it became one of the most valuable commodities of the ancient world.
Today most of us sprinkle it on our food as a seasoning, often without even thinking.
But adding black pepper to your meal might be doing more than simply adding flavour.
It might be boosting the amount of nutrients you are getting from your food.

First day back in forest after one week under the weather with a bad dry cough and flu-like symptoms without the fever. Still feel it a bit, got to stay away from construction workers at La Media Luna, they cough like crazy all day long, no need to catch that bug again.
Cut down 3 more dried up trees for the fencing project to get more posts.

Primer día de vuelta en el bosque después de una semana indispuesta, con tos seca fuerte y síntomas gripales, pero sin fiebre. Todavía me siento un poco así, hay que evitar a los obreros de la construcción en La Media Luna; tosen como locos todo el día, no hay necesidad de volver a contagiarse.
Talé tres árboles secos más para el proyecto de la cerca y conseguir más postes.

It is freaking cold this morning, our pooches are shaking despite having dog-beds of the ground in protected bodega filled with isolating okoshal and hay.

Hace un frío tremendo esta mañana, nuestros perros tiemblan a pesar de tener camas para perros en el suelo, en un almacén protegido lleno de okoshal aislante y heno.
