12 Hours Later…
Now that you’ve grown up
You can finally learn to be a child
We made it to the end of the world
But we’ll never make it out aliveBen Harper
Sunday afternoon we had uninvited guests. Another Mexican Military check on our house and the property of Amigos. 20 soldiers went through every house on the block looking for cash, drugs and guns, the life-blood of our world.
Random people passing out on our roof, soldiers rummaging through my underwear drawer, what’s next?
But, here in Colonia Palo Chino, Ciudad Juarez, life goes on…

So far we haven’t had the army come in and search our house, but they’ve occupied our town several times and conducted patrols. We have an Army chopper that makes regular patrols over our Zeta-controlled town as well – all in all 21st Century Mexico’s a pretty surreal place to live.
