Hauling garbage away and the ole English "Ratter". <br />I saw similar pictures out of Milan Italy I think, and the EU demanded the Italian Gov. do something about the trash! Never mind the garbage guys are a union and they had a strike. I'm sure France and Greece have similar problems.Adventures in Self Reliancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992613362743785392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-55738325863940526182010-10-28T11:35:22.012-07:002010-10-28T11:35:22.012-07:00Memories of 2001?

Most of the gangs are black or Mexican. The bus driver has no authority to stop them, either. <br /><br />This city only has a million people, I mean Los Angeles we are not, yet it's still pretty dangerous. The supermarkets have to close at 9 pm because of crime, and deep in the ghetto they generally lock the doors at sundown. I remember only five years ago when the supermarkets in my district were open 24 hours, now it's 7 am to 9 pm. And this is an area that was built during the housing bubble, it's gone from middle class to slum in five years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-38799144674875307332010-10-27T10:35:08.704-07:002010-10-27T10:35:08.704-07:00Nice clan Pix.Nice clan Pix.ENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193563623321560413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-63752829204980252282010-10-27T09:15:26.798-07:002010-10-27T09:15:26.798-07:00Don, I think a Caribbean style funeral party may b...Don, I think a Caribbean style funeral party may be on the cards.gagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02397267261646267166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-60767721525581728792010-10-27T08:12:00.362-07:002010-10-27T08:12:00.362-07:00I assume you will be in mourning over the next wee...I assume you will be in mourning over the next week because Nestor Kirchner just died:<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/28/world/americas/28argentina.html?_r=1&hp<br /><br />When will your blog posts resume?Don Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-71562615229483166122010-10-27T06:40:05.383-07:002010-10-27T06:40:05.383-07:00Thanks!
