Looks like this is gonna be another shitty year: cops killing kids, Covid taking a victory lap, housing crisis getting worse. 2022: I already hate it. I did get a good laugh that lifted my spirits when I saw this ugly gentrifier fence getting a well deserved make over. Maybe there is some hope for this year after all!
Hope this post finds you well! 😉
Q-vo Neighborinos!
Still here! Even though I am an “essential” worker (HAHAHAHA!!) and have been going back to the workplace since last June, I’ve yet to catch the dreaded pandemic virus.

Quien sabe, but I like it!
Hope you this post finds you well! 😉
It was not that interesting. Not much happened. A jogger, some cars, a helicopter. Whatever. But here you go!
A long time ago, well I guess about 12 years ago, I took some notes and some pictures of a potential HR review when I was down in Mexico City, in the (for some reason) feared suburb of Nezahualcóyotl.
