Show Notes:This audio excerpt from Turn Left at the Cactus/Cactus Call introduces Cari Shaw, who is organizing the dogfood drive called "250 for the 250" to benefit the San Felipe Dog Rescue, coinciding with the SCORE Baja 250 off-road race. Cari, with help from volunteer, Barbara Fenski, and others in the area are seeking donations of 250 bags of dog food to help the overpopulated dog rescue, especially during puppy season and the summer months when donations typically decrease. They have established multiple drop-off locations, including the San Felipe Brewing Company, downtown at Fat Boys, andthe San Felipe Dog Rescue facility itself, and encourage both racers and the general public to contribute, noting that beef, lamb, or salmon-based food is preferred due to border restrictions on chicken. Beyond food, the rescue alsoneeds volunteers, fosters, and help with constructing new facilities as well as bedding, doggie essentials, kiddie pools (for summer heat), and monetary donations.Drop-off locations for dog food include:The SF BreweryFat Boys PizzaSan Felipe Dog RescueLink to SF Dog Rescue:https://sanfelipedogrescue.org/KEY POINTS:• Cari's 2nd-year aiding dog rescues• Over 110 dogs, half are puppies• 250 bags of dog food goal• Volunteer & construction of facility extension needed • Ongoing support needed year-roundApologies for the quality of the phone conversations.

SKATE FAST TURN LEFT, 1min., USA Directed by Mary Hawkins Two friends, Fifi Fleshwound and Little Mary Switchblade, have a quick conversation about their roller derby years… http://tookaturn.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thngstookaturn/ Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? My friend Andrea came up with Things Took a Turn, and I'd wanted to submit ever since I'd heard about it. It's an animation anthology for women and gender minorities, and it just sounded like good weird fun… I told Fifi about it, since I'm not a writer-of-things and she is, and we chatted a bunch about ways to react to the prompt for that season: the End of the World. We'd meet in a diner, talk for about fifteen minutes about how we were going to approach the project and then veer off into old derby gossip. Eventually, I told her that we needed to nail things down and while we were at it… why didn't we make the film about us and our experiences. We'd been coming up with little fictional scenarios, but our actual experience was better and more interesting. We'd put years of work into roller derby. It's an all-consuming hobby and a really interesting community. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? I loved the reactions! People put so much love and thought into their feedback and I really enjoyed hearing what they had to say, especially since most of the people who've talked to me about my film have been people I already have a connection to, either because they're friends or also played roller derby or live in NYC. To see that total strangers were also interested in my film and really got what it was about really made my morning. My movie is only 45 seconds long. so nearly any description of the film is longer than the film itself.

Dive into the latest San Felipe buzz with Cal and Tricia on Cactus Connection! From wind-sensitive pups to local events, this episode is a lively rundown of what's been happening and what's coming up. Listen up for scoops on dog rescues, tasty eats, and vibrant venues in this community-centric podcast—your San Felipe Pod for staying in the know! ABOUT OUR PODCAST Turn Left at the Cactus is a locally operated podcast in San Felipe, Baja, Mexico. This podcast is produced by Calyn Whedbee and co-hosted by Calyn and Tricia Sikes. We dropped our first podcast in the summer of 2022. And, honestly, given the demographic we are working with, had absolutely no idea whether any of it would fly. And, honestly, still don't know.  To our amusement and surprise, however, our listening base is growing --“poco a poco.”    The primary focus of Turn Left is discovering what foreign nationals, living and working here--full or part time--find so attractive about the area; why they moved here; and, what they think is deserving of more attention. However, we don't always stick to the script, so virtually anything is possible. We drop episodes as often as we can interview people and get them into postproduction.  Given that we are retired, and that this is … to use the cliché…a labor of love….AND, that life in SF tends to pull in lots of different directions….we have opted out of a specific time schedule. We “drop” when we can. If you join the group on Facebook, however, you'll always be the first to get the latest episode.

However, we don't always stick to the script, so virtually side conversation is possible. We drop episodes as often as we can interview people and get them into post-production and uploaded.  Given that we are two old retired women, and, that this is … to use the cliché…a labor of love. AND, given that life in SF tends--especially in the winter months--tends to pull us in lots of different directions, we have chosen to not tie ourselves down to a specific time schedule. We“drop” episodes when time allows. If you join our group on Facebook or subscribe to our show on your favorite podcast host, you'll always be the first to be notified of the latest episodes.

Vivi offers up her medical expertise to investigate and discovers there's something sinister brewing at the Pug Punk. It's likely going to get Retro very angry. The Crew don't have long before Vendell takes the field, so it's time for them to take some drugs to even the playing field, everyone else is doing them and who knows it might help them in this next match against the Trauma Team Tower Sirens. And Chad. Will Chad Impress? Can Vendell skate fast and turn left? Is Retro really not going to stay and watch? Only the dice will tell.
