NewsA Warm Fire But No Sense Of Tomorrow On Workers’ Compensation Or Even Double Minimum Wage In Northern Baja.
By Lonce Lamonte - February 20, 2020
I woke up on a chilly Christmas morning just a little less than two months ago feeling content after a night of pervasive rain. I felt happy on my own and well rested in the arms of the Lord as I lay quietly for just a bit before getting up and readying myself to drive to Dymitri’s for breakfast.
Dymitri’s La Fonda Hotel and Restaurant is in LaMisión further south of the Half-Way House a few kilometers just over midway between Tijuana and Ensenada. It’s a truly divine “feel-good” place.
Dmytri always has the fireplace lit and roaring in his main dining room. One can even sit at the bar close to the street and view the fire with a view of the waves on either side. On this nippy morning I felt sure Dmytri would have plenty of wood to keep the fire well fed.

According to Florida Today, David Tom of Palm Bay worked from April 2015 until June 2016 as the fire department's only Asian firefighter.
