Connect

For those outside of Mexico, connecting with local residents is of course different due to language differences. There is also not the same abundance of newspapers and other connections as may be located in larger Baja California communities.

And eventually even these will vanish, leaving nothing but electromagnetic radiation being slowly redshifted, with no energy gradients able to sustain life.
