You may have noticed I don't write about this stuff.
It's here. It happens.
I don't want to write about it.
I don't want to write about it.
But Friday it was a little too close to home.

- I have wanted to live in Mexico ever since the first time I set a flip-flop outside a VW Bus, on a beach in Baja, in 1968. I will live in this great country, among these warm and friendly people, until I gurgle my last breath and they scatter my ashes into the Bahía Tenacatita.

I think it helps to write about it --if only for the cathartic effect.
ReplyDeleteI have friends living near Guadalajara. They are voicing concern, too.
ReplyDeleteWe live about 1/2 mile from one of the attacks...it still does not bother me...there is violence everywhere in the world...always has been...always will be. One just needs to remain alert and be aware of one's surroundings at all times...regardelss of where you may be...but then again there's the old adage about being in the wrong place at the wrong time...
ReplyDeleteHi Steve - Honestly, it doesn't help me to write about it. I'll just let it be. It is what it is.
ReplyDeleteCharles - Thank you for your comment, glad you're safe. Couldn't agree more. It's global and in many place of the world it is much worse than it is here. Asi es.
I understand your personal choice not to write about it, but precious little is getting through to the outside world, so someone needs to write about it. If you ever chose to do so, you would be doing a service.
