Building a new pier
It survived hurricanes Wilma & Gilberto, but not the crowbars
Edificarán de nuevo el muelle
Jueves, 12 de Septiembre de 2013 21:52
Resistió los embates de “Wilma” y “Gilberto”, mas no de las “patas de cabra”
Manuel VALDEZ
ISLA MUJERES, 12 de septiembre.-There has been a delay since the requested renovation of this pier, but it was worth the wait, explains the president of "Social Justicia" cooperative, Baltazar Gomez Catzin, because now the old pier is being totally destroyed and replaced with a new one, including the 'bases'. The 25 meter long pier is two meters wide and will cost 2.9 million pesos. It will be equiped with a bilge pump, photocells, lights, and protectors for the boats, including wood with a special resin finish, as well as a small palapa in the middle. This is being paid for by the Federal government, through CONAPESCA. The construction is expected to take a month, plus a week to attend to details. The old pier had a lifespan of about 28 years before it was destroyed yesterday, and it withstood two powerful hurricanes. The timber that is in good condition will be used at their facilities in Laguna Makax, which serves as a shelter during severe weather.
Leer más...The literal translation of "pata de cabra" is "goat's leg" (which is similar to calling a small crowbar " a cat's paw"). It is used in the magician's poetic expression "Abacadabra, pata de cabra!" which may be followed by,"Que la puerta se abra!" "Abracadabra...a crowbar...And the door is open!"
It can also mean a kickstand, or The Devil.
Other "pata" expressions?
meter la pata: goof up, stick your foot in your mouth.
estirar la pata: kick the bucket.
que mala pata: what a bad break, bad luck.
patas arriba: upside down, messed up.
pata de perro: someone who has itchy feet, likes to travel a lot.
andar a pata: go by foot (Chile..go barefoot)
Corozon con patas or amor con patas is an affectionate nickname
Te va a cargar patas de cabra: Something bad will happen to you
¡Ya nos cargó patas de cabra!: Now we've lost...or We're in a bad situation

Mantienen cerrada la navegación por los efectos de la onda tropical número 19
Manuel VALDEZ
ISLA MUJERES, 12 de septiembre.-On Tuesday evening at 6pm, boats under 40 feet were restricted to port due to weather, which continued on Wednesday and Thursday. The restrictions included trips within the bay, and may be lifted on Friday, depending on the weather. Navigation was also restricted for larger boats with licenses for whale shark sighting and tours to Isla Contoy, as a safety consideration due to the distances traveled. More rain is expected this weekend. The weather is affecting tourism as well as boating.

Invasion of vacant lots
Invaden terrenos ‘baldíos”
0 12 de septiembre de 2013
Por Carlos Gasca > Quequi.- In colonia La Caribeña, there were four lots that had been vacant, until yesterday when signs appeared saying “Constructora e Inmobiliaria Sotycab S.A de C.V." with a Benito Juarez address. The owners of the properties have their papers in hand, and have titles dating back 20 years, and were surprised by the signs. A company representative said they have been contacted by the Mayor and made a commitment to not touch anything. The representative explained they had been contacted by "a person" with an offer to carry out "a construction project", but after the installation of the signs they were contacted about an alleged invasion of private property. They say they will not begin any housing projects without proof of who owns the property, and do not want any problems. The owners have decided to start "defining" their land, to avoid someone else coming and surprising them.-

From TVIM via Twitter
The poster below tells about the (166th) anniversary being commemorated today, of los Heroes Ninos at the assualt on the castle at Chapultepec, where their military academy was located. It explains that America declared war against Mexico in 1846 and tells about this battle near Mexico City, where a half dozen cadets refused to retreat and died...you can read more about it HERE, and HERE. (You may recall refugees from a war in the Yucatan,The Caste War, fled to Isla in 1848, establishing the town in 1850.)
