FYI for March 17-19: be aware of labor protests/highway delays in Ensenada-TJ area


from: https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2016/02/29/18783492.php

On March 17, 2016, the first anniversary of the strike in San Quintín, a mega march and caravan will begin to make it's way through the Baja California towns of Maneadero, Ensenada, and Rosarito before arriving in Tijuana on March 19 for a reunion with organizations, activists, and unionists that support the struggle of farmworkers and their call to Boycott Driscoll's.

The National Democratic Union of Independent Farmworkers in San Quintín states, "We will continue to struggle for the original demands we made. As of today none of them have been met. We continue to raise our voices."





\"Probably the airplanes will bring week-enders from Los Angeles before long, and the beautiful poor bedraggled old town will bloom with a Floridian ugliness.\" (John Steinbeck, 1940, discussing the future of La Paz, BCS, Mexico)

Highway five just keeps looking better and better, even though the strikes could divert a lot more traffic that way!



If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Baja has one major ARTERY and these clowns somehow manage to be so self centered that they have no problem shutting down the whole economy of the area with very little gain in progress. I think I might want to invest in a Sherman Tank for my next trip north.
