Standing and applauding. Dang, Lee, can't play Top This with you. You newspaper guys have all the fun.

My Zona Norte (which is zona roja in my memory for some reason) story pales but does involve the total, though temporary, ruin of one poor hapless innocent's life, and whatever he likely picked up that night wasn't going to help.

When you were punching your frequent stay card at Rosarita, were they working on the main road through town? I think that road work started in the 70s and is still going. Rosarita Beach was the first and only place I've ever seen the road sign advising BURROS TRABAJANDO. Can't say I ever say any burros actually working though.
