Out Here.

All this rain has given the dust a break, and the hills are turning green.

Things are quiet between Todos Santos and Pescadero right now. The dirt roads are another story.

Have a good weekend. Thanks for reading the Dusty Burro.

Today's Quote

“
In the desert, the two primary elements are stone and water. Stone comes in abundance… Water crosses this stone with such rarity and ferocity that it tells all of its secrets in the shapes left behind.

BCS Politics: Dates to Watch

While the actual elections are not until June 2027, the process of deciding who will lead the state and municipalities is already getting underway. The ruling party is making its internal selections over the next few months, which sets the stage for next year’s races.

Here are a few dates to keep on your radar: On August 30, state political leadership is expected to be chosen. On September 21, municipal leadership selections begin. On November 8, local legislative selections take place.

Why does this matter for us here in the pueblo? These choices will help shape who makes important decisions for the Todos Santos and Pescadero corridor for years to come, from development and zoning to water, roads, and infrastructure.
