Thanks for the up votes. That stuff just comes out of me, usually in one typing, I don't edit it much and then click post before I chicken out or start trying to change it to make it "something". Its scary and I almost always regret doing it later, then ok about posting it even later than that. Being Moderator helps in that I can delete them if I really regret one, which has happened before. If it encourages others to share La Manzanilla / Mexico related writings I will offer the deletion option for them. Seems the worst that can happen is I get criticized for being myself out loud, or laughed at. It is not that I don't care about that criticism...completely, I think I just like scaring myself, wanting to bust any imprisoning mold / mindset program handed me by the society I was raised in. To make sure life is as good as I can stand it. It is not as scary as painting art or playing music or getting up in public and speaking or open mic night, something I don't think I could do (mostly due to lack of talent).

It kind of drifted off in the middle, the revolution thing. I was kind of surprised myself at the way it ended, I had no idea that was coming but liked the feeling it was sharing. There is a photo of Mike with the fish, I will post it later when I get it.
