Getting back to the Soriana subject
this is just so you know, starting tomorrow, the Lions Club in La Paz will be strating a collection for the Tabasco and Chiapas flood victims at
Soriana and Aramburo Forjadores, so if you are aproached by the ladies, don't think it is a kidnapping attempt, it's just a collection.

GnuKid,
Could you please reconstruct this sentence so that it makes sense? I followed it up to that point. Thank you.

By the way. Maybe you should consider putting these episodes into screenplay form and market it while the Writer's Guild is on strike. It is a good
story.

Staying on the alert so you can detect any sign of some terrible thing that might victimize you, while you'e shopping for groceries, is no way I would
care to live my life.

Kinda feels like waiting all summer 'way back when' just to find out who shot JR.

BMG,
If they shoot Chino, there goes your " and they lived happily ever after " summary.
Let's hope there's a better ending then that.
How about it Gnukid, don't keep us in suspense.
to be continued......

Most tales end with the 'bad guy' being defeated and everyone living happily ever after. We certainly can't take into account El Chino's well being at
this point.

and not married and thas where the fun began as I was introduced to the most beautiful women yet, the kind of women that causes you to forget what
you're doing and well forget just about everything. |
Are there pictures of this? |

Bump, bump, bump!!
Just to remind Gnukid to continue with his saga and bring the story of the kidnappings etc, and the fate of El Chino to a fruitfull end.
I feel like I'm halfway in a good suspense novel and someone went skooting with it.

It almost seems like this is the only ending that will convince some.
It's one helluva read, one way or the other.
Hey, gnukids' still alive..........just not on this post yet. See "Traffic stop"

Ok here you go...
Estoy tranquilo y voy a veliar manana hoy fui para un dia en la playa con mi pero Loba y la novia.
Chino is gathering some really bad guys, they are trying to wear colors just like a real gang but thats hard to coordinate with the moms doing the
laundry. They chose white which is funny to see the bad guys trying keep white shirts clean, kind of ironic-they're cleaning themselves up in the
process of being cleaned up. To help him out, the new gang are staked out on the corners and wasted so basically he has to buy them beer and weed and
phone credits, which is getting old real fast for him. He looks weak and tired like the young girls could kick his butt. They are all burnt out. The
tazers are charged and loaded. Apparently he could die if I hold the button for more than 2-3 seconds. A lot of people are talking about killing him,
too many, and to put a rope or a chain around his shack of a home and simply pull it down with a large truck while they are sleeping inside, but I say
no estamos super tranquilos, let him go to the jail for 5 years and to the insane people hospital for 5 years. The neighbors delivered videos and
photos of Chino and the ministerial police exchanging things and talking, calling the neighborhood women cochinas for videoing them with cell phones.
We all live so close there is no place for them to hide. They talk so loud, its on the video that they are planning to watch my moves and planing to
beat me up, that is the skinny drug addicts, and it's super clear to identify them. I think its a style of talking they do in order to intimidate,
that is they talk really loud and threaten but nothing ever comes of it. In fact its a neighborhood style of conversation up and down the street for a
whole block with people a hundred of feet apart while they talk in a sing song fashion.
The neighbors are pretty clear that I am buen vecino y buena onda y el va en el carcel, pronto. But at any moment the bad guys could attack me or do
something stupid and that would be a pain for them to get tasered, attacked by the dogs and kicked in the stomach. Generally it seems on the surface
to have escalated into a trato, an agreement that Chino needs to relax and calm down a little if he wants to stay out of more trouble but he can't
seem to do that.
Around midday, the neighborhood women called me to their homes to update me and show me cell phone videos of the cops and Chino, all together at his
house, they brought him un cafecito y comida y una bolsa. I panicked at their bravado in plain daylight so quickly I made some calls and made 5
packages with copies of the demanda, federal order to hecha la demanda and more. I have a few friends. I called them and asked them to call in favors
with their friends and said its not urgent but we need help now en el barrio. What proceeded was a series of phone calls, messengers, secret meetings,
driving around in big cars and meeting casually (at bars) with many of the good people of la paz (I shouldn't say who yet).
After many handshakes and nice conversation, I had had lunch once, two dinners and one shot and beer at least with each meeting which made me feel
quite full and confident that either things would get better or they we're going to get worse... I recall I won a few games of pool and hung out and
made plans to see las tiburones ballenas with some professors too and came home early. Some of the good guys called me at 9:30am to say they were
just arriving home and how am I? They are supposed to be in casual talks with the ministerial police to ask them what they would like to do about this
small problem that should have been easily resolved when they went for him the first time. But I would guess since it was Saturday evening nothing
will begin to occur until Tuesday of next week. But they understand what's going on and said no bad guys are going to push a good person out. We don't
want that to happen.
Now, all governmental offices have copies of all reports and video and photo evidence of the cops in charge of arresting Chino, hanging out with him
and bringing him things (which implies but doesn't necessarily mean anything). We are contemplating that, if it fails to be resolved by tuesday, or I
am incarcerated then there is an anonymous package that will arrive in the newspaper office and TV stations at the moment with complete report, the
photos of Chino and the cops and the bags of drugs and the full 100 page report which is growing. Or maybe not. It's escalating and deescalating on
the hour, all important discussions apparently involve tequila with a beer chaser and surprise tomorrow is a holiday, dia de los revoluciones, which
means more tequila and beer.
A group of higher ups toured the neighborhood with me and el pendejo Chino Muleto could see it was important people and yelled, atackete y te mateo,
I am going to attack you and kill you. There were thugs in the car who had the order to jump out and get him but with that, the higher ups laughed
really hard since Chino seriously incriminated himself at that moment and they decided to submit their own demanda with their names on it directly to
the same ministerial police and make some calls to see what the result is because they want to send a message to all the bad guys and the policia
ministerial involved that this neighborhood va a vuelar meyore, is turning to something better. Or maybe not.
The governor has built a nice house on the street and will move some of his family here so this has to stop. I remain tranquilo 'cause it's Sunday
family day, to see if the higher ups can work this out, finally.
There is a side track to this, yesterday a young very developed woman about 15 arrived decked out in red stretch pants and a red belly shirt with
black netting over the shirt (like I imagine women wore in the 60's). She had a pencil written contract, which if I read correctly stated, Contracto:
los padres de _______ gustan conocer el buen vecino _______ y hacer una contracto de boda. 50%/50% financia, 60%-40% responsibilidad, vamonos a tenir
un bebe en la futura proxima en una casa de dos pisos. Reglas un milliones pesos ahora y vamonos a dar un milliones pesos cuando estas en la boda. La
muchacha va a cuidar los ninos y no va trabajar. I sure it was meant as a joke but she wants to make a contracto to marry and have my baby in the near
future and therefore I am going to give her family 100,000 dollars now and then her family will match that amount when we get married and we can build
a two story home and live happily. The contract states she won't have to work because of the baby. I considered the joy we would share in our two
story home with my young bride, was reminded of my last relationship with la chilanga and handed it back and said, "gracias, no. Voy a casar mi pera,
la coqueta loba bonita."
The fun never stops and nothing ever changes.
