Today at work, some old man told me I'm in danger of losing my job to those Mexicans. I really wanted to say something, but he's the only person who thinks he has to tip every time he comes in the store. I'm so ashamed. He's not even a good tipper. I sold out La Raza for seventy cents. Setenta centavos. I'm such an ass.

Oh, man.

You could make it up by giving setenta centavos to some poor little Mexican kid living in squalor.

While we rested against our cars after the three hour walk through the caverns, we were approached by a white haired elderly gentleman who wanted to make small elderly conversation. He told us he was 80 years old, and about places he's driven to. We spoke to him for a few minutes, he wished us well, we bid him the same, and he walked away. THEN, he turns back and comes over to us again. This time, he begins with more of the same benign chatter, but OUT OF NOWHERE.....it got ugly. He began to talk about how the "NEGROES and the MEXICANS" were taking over, about how there were just too many of them. He also called them the "BROWNS and the BLACKS". And here I am, all Mexican and such, just looking up at this seemingly nice old man, thinking of how pathetic it all was.

Ah well, he will die soon enough. He was, after all, rather old.

They won't get your job for a while. They're too busy protesting right now.
