Thanks, Steve, but we beg to differ. Your bills are going to probably be higher in the summertime, but the actual rates are a bit lower. That’s the way CFE attempts to balance out their income and our expenditures more evenly over the year, we suppose.

Thanks as always for the excellent work. One thing: I had always believed that the more expensive part of the year, insofar as electricity rates are concerned, is the cool part of the year. In your article, you note that rates are higher in the winter and lower in the summer. I believe that the opposite is the case.

In response to Jon Tevlin’s great article. This clears up a lot of misconceptions about Mexioco, especially Merida. I had taken Merida off my list of possible retirement options. Unfortunately that decision was based on the U.S. press and talking heads, which in the past I usually ignored because of its “if it bleeds, it leads” maxim. During my research I found Merida A FASCINATING PLACE to retire. As they say “its now on”. And thanks for the posting and Yucutan Living.

I think we all need to help see that journalist treat their Mexico coverage with more of an even hand and not see all of them get on the “Mexico is not safe for US citizens” bandwagon.

I just finished sending Jon Tevlin a complimentary note thanking him for his balanced coverage / and another e-mail to Anderson Cooper urging him to not get caught up in the mass journalistic hysteria about Mexico being unsafe for all US citizens.
