Border closure
A couple of weeks back, professors in Tijuana shut down border traffic into and going out of the San Ysidro crossing. They wanted the whole world to
know of their unhappiness over their pensions. Very effective and the US could learn from these scholars a lesson in border control.
I've heard that they plan another demonstration for June 27, this Wednesday. Same thing, block border traffic. Has anybody else heard about this?

Even more reason to use the OTAY crossing.

and they closed the schools here several times last month in protest, now road closures too. so have they gotten their protest resolved yet? I think
they're lazy bastards that need to be fired anyway just my humble opinion in the observations I've made throughout the years with three kids through
secondaria and prepa and now one in kinder. the first grader is going to the catholic school and the nuns don't strike which is nice. but thay're
also not as strict as Sister Kathleen used to be with me

Sister Kathleen? Sounds peaceful but, I know better. The nuns who ruined my life for seven years were schooled at Marquis D'Sade school of
brutality.

Sister Kathleen was only about a head taller than most of us second graders. She wore the full long black dress and habit, looked like a short tubby
"flying nun". Man she packed quite a punch and I still couldn't remember my times tables.

The Jesuits, who taught-tured me for 8 years, were a lot more subtle. They had strips of linoleum up their cassock sleeves, and in as fluid a motion
as a gaucho twirling a bolo, could bring tears to your eyes and the neatest welts to the back of your hands. But, man, you learned something!
