What's everyone up to right now?

[Rev. Rye]

We're good, thanks.  I'm not in country, my wife is.  I'm flying down in a few days assuming my flight isn't canceled.

It's interesting, a number of businesses were torched, and some patterns were obvious, they hit dozens of state owned banks, and corporate run convenience stores and at least one large corporate pharmacy.  At least one of our neighborhood Oxxo stores was burned completely.  SO FAR it appears the goal is to make a big statement without bloodshed..... But inevitably power struggles in the fractured leadership are going to lead to something...what exactly is anyone's guess.

Historically, drug cartels are hydras.

Yeah, there’s going to be someone new to fill in the gaps before long. 

Once again, Battle of Algiers. If you haven’t watched it, do so now.





I know I keep bringing this movie up, but as long as history keeps repeating itself, it’s going to keep being relevant. Especially if Trump decides to step in.

Indeed. It's really a question of how much infighting there is going to be between various factions before things stabilize and how many of El Mancho's capos get taken out in the following months.

Is there any particular reason for this refusal?

Made it out to St. Louis Park to get my computer part. Heading to pick up something else, but the bus is running late.

Yes, there is.

Back from the store. Aldi was on the way home from Micro Center, so I decided to do my Tuesday grocery shopping then. And I just picked up more computer junk at an Amazon locker and bought some pasta sauce.
