I'm just bummed that I am off today and don't get to take advantage of it with my normal 17 mile to work commute. :(  :D

Traffic was a little lighter going down Manchester/Firestone in South Central :D But there were still the usual idiot drivers :angry

I didn't hit as many kids running across the street in front of the High School, so they must have stayed home. :p

It's a fact of Life:

After Monday and Tuesday, even the Calendar says : WTF .......

Yup, did not notice any traffic decrease.  I think it increased because of the protests.  Apparently they did not publish the no traffic day notice in Spanish. :)

In My opinion they shouldn't have to. I wonder if I held one of these marches in Mexicao how They would go over?  :stupid

I don't think the turnout is expected to be as high as last year, so maybe that's why some aren't noticing traffic decreases. :(  I noticed a HUGE decrease last year though.  I got home from work in half the time, which saved my a good 25 minutes. :good

May Day! May Day!
$23-Billion Leaves U.S.
For Mexico

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - A new study by the popular Mexican newspaper, “El Universal” reveals some astonishing information, many will find hard to believe. Nearly one in two Mexicans has a family member currently working in the United States, and a third of those were sent money in the past 12 months. Over 61% rated the dollars sent across the border as either critical or “very important.”

How much, overall? Amazingly, during that time, eleven-million Mexicans in America sent home a record $23 billion to their families -- the second-biggest source of foreign currency for Mexico after oil imports, far dwarfing tourism. The economic incentives for coming to the U.S. are apparent.

As many as 50% in Mexico live on less than $5 a day, with a major lack of job opportunities. Meanwhile, today is May Day. Last year on May first, hoping to influence Congress to adopt new laws to make illegal immigrants legal, over a million of them held marches and work stoppages across the country.

:drama

Postmaster should head off any and all mail to Mexico and immediately strip out the owed taxes from moneys found going south.  Maybe too harsh?  :rolleyes

My missus was called out yesterday because of the protesters, very quiet overall she said, at least in San Diego.   A few minute men were showing support, but nothing gnarley.
