May 1st boycott

I don't know where you live but I could 'hop skip and jump' right into Tijuana. {okay, maybe not but....}

This is actually a big deal here. I know a lot of people who are excited about shopping today as well. It is usually a very hectic experience any day.

I think it sucks for those who didn't want to do it; they'll lose a day of pay and maybe be in trouble.

We had a news report here that Fox {Mexicos president, not the network} was considering making illegal drugs legal in small amounts.

Right. Dude, you can't do a little bit of herion, okay?

I have so many theories on that one. But, one I can say is that what could happen is that it is legal for THEM but if an American gets caught with anything they will be thrown in jail and have to pay stiff fines or just be used to make an example of; seperating Mexican citizens from American citizens.

A report on being out today: Saw only one guy working landscaping...at Ralphs' we kept running into pallets of items that needed to be put away.
There weren't any lines, either.

But, Starbucks was crowded as usual.

Phoenix.

About all that's happening right now is a "human chain" around a Home Depot where "day laborers" typically gather. Funny thing is that on the news report I heard is that the day laborers are there today and worried they won't be able to get work!

Traffic seemed a bit lighter than normal today.

I should drive by mine...{home depot}

Okay, Phoenix. I live in Chula Vista. Sometimes called 'Chula Juana'.

I haven't turned on the news yet. I guess I should.

Those who have good jobs can put in for a day off {who knows if they'll be reprimanded} but those who really can't afford to miss the work will suffer.
