directly faced with the border bullshit again
strange day today. Rain in May. That just doesn't happen very often here. 4 wet migrants have shown up at the house. What do you do? I made coffee and started scraping up odds and ends to feed them (teens in the house often leave rather slim pickings for fast feeding around here)

found 4 dry t shirts, but don't have pants to fit them.

One is small, cold and very tired - his first trip

I hate this.

Not the people - at all, I hate the policy and bigotry and economic exploitation that is the root cause.

Supposedly their ride will be here in an hour, but my past experience is they won't show until closer to dark. So much for the trip to Tucson this evening. Guess I will miss the meeting I was going to attend.

1. Damn, Kali.
You're a good egg. I don't know what to say about the situation; I've never encountered it. I don't know what I'd do in your shoes.

2. You take in kitties
you's probably feed 'em too.

Of course if the weather was normal I'd probably make them stay out in the yard, but at least they swept the floor. Every Mexican home I have ever been in was spotless. This place is a dump so I'm a little embarrassed:crazy:
