How is it that Mexico can be so screwed up? I live 30 miles away from the border and this morning I went to Starbucks and Einstein bagels and thirty-five miles away three people were beheaded in Tijuana because some coyote wasn’t paid. It ain’t cultural, because I have a shit load of friends from Mexico that are as bewildered as I. Then again, I worked in Baltimore for a decade and I saw a twelve year old boy shoot his mother for a vial of crack. I hope this coffee is strong enough because it’s too early to drink.
