Tijuana Drug Lords on NGC
National Geographic Channel is running a story on the Tijuana Drug Lords tonite 8-16-09. Runs at 6:00pm on the west coast.
Should be interesting- maybe see some familiar faces.

We watched it last night. Covers the last twenty years right up to the current situation. Family thought it was interesting to see the major crimes
(family massacres) explained and how they were linked to the brutal AFO/Guzman war. Worth the hour for sure.

It was a good reproduction of the past news events. Well done, if that's possible with the subject matter.
I found it interesting that no mention was made of the Arrellano brother who was captured on a sport fishing boat down south. Did I miss that part
when I went to the beer cooler?
One thing for sure....had this been aired on a network, say right after 60 Minutes, tourism in Mexico would have been given the coup de grace.

You didn't miss the part about the one captured on the boat - it wasn't even mentioned. It all comes back to supply and demand! The problems is on
this end. There must be a lot of coke heads out there on the highway and at work - scary. With the turnover at the Mexican port of entry should
scare away more touristas.

My second trip driving to Cabo when I was 23 I brought a couple people one who had an aunt with a home on the East Cape at Rancho Leonero. I had never
been there and thought we were going to be staying in a little shack of some sort. Well when we arrived it was nothing of the sort. Beautiful home
overlooking the ocean, million dolar + in the states. Anyways, I would fish in front of the house down the stairs almost daily and one day a Mexican
fellow aproached me and started talking to me about fishing. He was a very nice man from one of the homes south on the beach about 200 yards. The
people there always seemed to be using jet skis, and playing in the water but it did seem weird to have a big Mexican family with a house on the sand
when everyone else was white. It is Mexico but it just didnt fit, but I thought nothing of it. It turns out that the family was the Arellano Felix
Brother who went fishing one of the very next days I was there on the Doc Holiday. The guy on the beach I was talking to was apparently one of the
hitman. Crazy to say the least.

These people are so deeply involved in their own world that they must really enjoy having a conversation with a normal person from time to time.
Hey Pascuale....Is it OK that I call you "normal?"

No Problem. The guy was very nice too.
