We are now less than 3 weeks from our party.  I'm excited about it and am very interested in how the changes will be embraced.  If you are still looking for your fun chica then you may want to consider Kenya, Ashley, Monse, Strawberry, Cindy or Paola.  Keep an eye on the fiesta page for changes and we hope to have a few new faces in the next few days. 

I wrote about racism a little last year, but how could ESPN think it was ok to put "Chink in the armor" in an article referring to Jeremy Lin recently.  The kid kind of just rolled with it and good for him, but it still is not right. Now here is one I don't understand and that is an "Indian giver"...a person who gives away something and takes it back.  I've never had an Indian do that to me?  Maybe because when the White man was settling this country they continually stole from the Indians?  Is that term racist?  I suppose if it is aimed an Indians then it is and if it is aimed at people who screwed the Indians then it is not.  Why is it in this age of political correctness many Schools have changed their nick names and yet Notre Dame's mascot is a drunken Irishman and that is ok?  I'm part Irish and I am not offended, but I would suppose someone is.  I love Notre Dame.  My high school is the Martinsville "Artesians" which has no racial connotation, but certainly does not strike fear into the opponents.  I cannot say this is true today, but Floyd Central High School in Indiana was nick named the "Super Hicks".   I think they took turns being the mascot at that school. 

Don't even ask me to explain this but a no smoking in public buildings ordinance passed in 2008, is now being enforced in Tijuana as of Thursday the 16th at 8pm in the evening.  It seems to be the big topic in Tijuana right now, and although I am a non smoker, I really don't have a strong opinion one way or the other.  I am of the opinion it will be forgotten in a few days, but time will tell the story.  I did hear that one bar was patting people down and taking away their cigarettes as they entered.  I don't think that is right and I would expect that policy to stop quickly.

Well my friends I don't really have anything else, and this is a short week, so the weekend will be here a bit sooner.   I'm going to try to visit Home Town Buffet this week and get some meat loaf.  You guys be safe and the party will be here in no time.
