Bancomer closure
Someone told me that as of Wednesday, 23 March, Bancomer (in all of Mexico) will be closed. Is this Benito Juarez's birthday bank holiday, or is there
a permanent closure of banks? It's all a muddle. Rumours do abound!

Yup, that's true. Normally bank holidays are on Monday, also. However, because there are lots of tourists this time of year, sometimes the bank is
closed on another day. Does anyone know?

The closure of Bancomer is just the leading edge problem. The Mexican Peso and the Japanese Yen are no longer traded on the world market. Take all
your money out of every bank. The only trusted currencies are Turkish Lira, Iran Dinars, Thai Baht and the Croatian Kuna.

Benito was the very first native Indian to be Mexican president.
On the citizenship test he is the answer to the question, WHO SAID THIS:
"Entre los individuos como entre las naciones, el repeto al derecho ajeno es la paz."
or = Amongst individuals as well as amongst nations, respect for thy neighbor means peace.

The US just dropped $250M of missiles on Gadaffi.
WASHINGTON – U.S. and British ships and submarines launched the first phase of a missile assault on Libyan air defenses, firing 112 Tomahawk cruise
missiles Saturday at more than 20 coastal targets to clear the way for air patrols to ground Libya's air force.
Warning: the Libyan Dinar is not worth holding.

Last time we did that, we killed his little girl. That was very uncool.

If I had a supply of food etc. at a crisis time, I wouldn't trade for Krugerrands of other pieces of gold - If they're so good, you eat them. Now
powder and lead and bullet molds, that's another story.

Okay, okay. I guess no one really knows. I'll just have to ask locally.
Thanks for the entertainment.

I find it easier to just stock up on ready made ammunition. Thank goodness I don't live in the People's Republic of Kalifornia any more.
