This is my first post on the big screen. Big deal, some of you are saying. Me too, really. I wanted to start with an antojito just to get my feet wet. So bear with me. New technology and all. I thank all my friends back there with me in the forum, PincheG, DD, SiskioK, Guero7, Chimera, Milo, J, Armchair, Primus, Baggy, off the top of my head, on and on we could go, but especially I appreciate Chivis and AJ for always being smart, informative, humorous, and protective. Amigos. Buggs too. Now, I'll run back to the cover of the forum. Mostly this story is just another example of impunity that is so blatant and rampant in Mexico lately.
