Hi Bob, referring to Endeavour Silver, they have had a great growth run in the last few years and I have a lot of respect for the Exploration Group in the company, but they are kind of plateaued out right now, so I don't know about an upside investment opportunity. It will take a big discovery to move the dial.

That is a cool video. One of those guys, Barry Develin lives here in Durango. Notice, he is very tan for a Canadian. that core rig was drilling at a project in Guanacevi, DGO.

But back to the subject of Safety. Here your chance to get your helmet blessed.



After the helmet has been blessed, do you still have to wear it? Do you still need insurance?

Good Luck to you too Justin.

I got a health policy from FrontierMedEx that includes air evacuation to a hospital near home and will even pay for someone from home to come to where you are to help get you home. Given this flurry of information I will have to go over it again in more detail. My reading of the MedJet Assist Web Site is that it has an annual membership and only covers flying you home in the event of illness or injury. It does not apparently cover your initial hospitalization. I got a Mexican moto insurance policy for six months for $231.44. $300,000 combined limit for property damage, bodily injury, fire theft and collision. My SPOT coverage will pay up to $50K for search and rescue with a limit of 2 incidents per year. The insurance agency I worked with was efficient and pleasant. PM me if you want any details. I think the MedJet program looks pretty good but might be redundant in my case... I will have to double check that now.

That pic of Justin's hospital room is the best MedJet Assist ad I've ever seen. Will soon renew my annual policy.

Craneguy and I have been busy testing our new secret product. This is one that will have us literally swimming in pesos!

It can't miss, it is coming out just in time for Christmas! It will be available only in Mexico in the finest of "tiendas de auto servicio", the upscale ones, such as Oxxo and we really had to be hardnosed when negotiating with Carlos Slim. I can't tell you how many times we left the boardroom table and headed for the door calling his bluff. We finally got him to agree to our terms. That Craneguy really makes his presence felt at the corporate level. The coffee he brought me was always really hot and fresh and the little towelettes he thoughtfully placed on the tray kept me feeling "fresh and invigorated" during the heavy moments. I must say, those Brits really do understand decorum and protocol. I think he learned it in India.

This is a niche product, not for everyone.

We opted for product placement right beside the Noche Buena display.

No animals were harmed during the processing and field testing of this product. In fact, the Mystery Rider is using it as a chupacabra repellant and he says it is working to 100% efficiency because he hasn't seen one in his garage in at least week.

You know how many cases of this we can move at a BMW rally here?

Who needs insurance or a Med Jet when you are wearing this?

Gentlemen, we bring you...

And I thought we were getting on top of that smell with the moist towelettes!

It's a magnificent scent. Do you have any idea how difficult it was to blend the aroma of expensive coffee, suicidal donkey and topes?

Oh, and I only make my presence felt at Christmas. I can't stand waiting to open them on Christmas morning...

MedjetAssist is a membership program, not a health insurance plan or travel insurance plan. As a membership program, it offers more and better services...and better value. Unlike the competition, MedjetAssist arranges medical evacuation and repatriation services for its members, both worldwide and domestically. Our members choose if they want to continue their hospital care at their home hospital, or any other hospital of their choice, through our network of authorized affiliates. And there are no additional costs to worry about and no limits on total medical evacuation expenses.

MedjetAssist is an authorized Indirect Air Carrier (IAC) utilizing the services of licensed Part 135 air carriers to meet your air ambulance transportation needs. MedjetAssist does not own, lease or operate any aircraft, and has no affiliation with any direct air carrier. As an IAC, MedjetAssist contracts for the provision of air transportation services in its own name and coordinates the provision of medical services for your flight. All flights are operated by licensed direct air carriers.

MedJet Assist is not an illness or accident policy. Only evacuation by air. The annual fee is $260, they offer shorter term coverage starting at $99 for 8 days and $195. for 30 days.

I have no idea what kind of medical costs that you may run into if ill or injured in Mexico and you require hospitalization, compared to USofA I have heard some reasonable figures.

For less than twice what the MedJet annual membership costs I have full coverage of up to $250,000, air evacuation and if hospitalized for more than 7 days the insurer will provide a round trip ticket for a friend or family member to come to my location.

The bottom line is some kind of medevac insurance is a good idea, maybe my medical policy is overkill, hopefully I will not have the opportunity to find out. Research it thoroughly for yourself and make your decision based on your budget and risk assessment.
