Flying to Mexico can't be worth the risk...


Interesting article by the BBP...

Its interesting to note that there were many more Americans assulted
in Phoenix than in all of Mexico (I'm sure there are more Americans in
Mexico than Pheonix). In anycase, the military is commited to having
a full time military base on the field as a result of this.
If you got robbed in the park would the US military offer to build a
base to protect the park?

I am going to try very hard to forget that I just read that.

What is this light you keep talking about?


PD Peter (So, what in blazes is it, already?)

I assume it's the red/green light used at Mexican customs. I airline
down to Mexico City all the time and they put it in use some years
ago. You push a button, by some supposedly random process either the
red or green light goes on; red means your bags get searched by an
indifferent 20-something girl, green means you're waved through.

It never occurred to me they would have this at GA type airports but
maybe so.

We don't get a lot of houses burgled around here. In fact, the most
exciting thing that has happened in months around here was a couple
days ago when someone got confused and drove their car through the wall
of the post office. Nearly caused the whole building to collapse.

Incredible! Thanks for the giggle.


yeah, driving through a wall with a car.
