ok, so i will try the telephone instead for means of communication:)
last night i went to mexico and stood on the beach and touched 2 countries. the border at the beach is absolutely ridiculous...nothing but a cruel joke. the mexico side is populated by small beachy shops and during the day beach-going folk. and the american side is barren except for huge towering lights that blind you and hummers tucked into the hillside staring out toward the fence - which painfully mocks all those hopes of the american dream. it is railroad track material extending 30 feet up into the air. but i could, literally, fit between some of the beams. i started to do so - half in, half out - but the light got brighter on us. didn't feel like getting arrested and interrogated. met some mexicans who were trying to cross to meet up with their wives and children, and i wished them luck. strange world.
