The Musings of Farmer: Protests Continue in Mexico City
http://jbfarmer.blogspot.com/2012/07/protests-continue-in-mexico-city.html
The Musings of Farmer. Details of my adventures when I have them. When I don't I occasionally rant about whatever is on my mind. Monday, July 23, 2012. Protests Continue in Mexico City. Suffrage with cash does not constitute an election. Lies and ignorance create a submissive populace. Public education creates rebels. I said this in 2000. Shouting "Sin PRI México! No PRI, the "Revolutionary Party" of Peña and Carlos Salinas Gortari, his mentor. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Other Sites of Mine.

The Musings of Farmer: 2012 -- The End
http://jbfarmer.blogspot.com/2013/01/2012-end.html
The Musings of Farmer. Details of my adventures when I have them. When I don't I occasionally rant about whatever is on my mind. Tuesday, January 1, 2013. 2012 - The End. I'd like to talk about some of the ups and downs of my 2012. Because 2012 was a roller coaster of a year. The good parts were incredibly good and those threads keep getting better. The bad is worse than other years, or so it seems, but the good news is that the good outweighs the bad. Our travels this year were amazing. Tulum, Cenot...

The Musings of Farmer: May 2010
http://jbfarmer.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
The Musings of Farmer. Details of my adventures when I have them. When I don't I occasionally rant about whatever is on my mind. Friday, May 7, 2010. I can only go forward. I am who I am because of what I will do, not because of what I have done. Yes, others will judge me based on what I have done, because that's the main thing they have to go on. I cannot change what has already happened, but I don't have to accept it as any indication of what the future will bring. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Musings of Farmer: Abortion vs. Drug Violence
http://jbfarmer.blogspot.com/2012/06/abortion-vs-drug-violence.html
The Musings of Farmer. Details of my adventures when I have them. When I don't I occasionally rant about whatever is on my mind. Saturday, June 2, 2012. Abortion vs. Drug Violence. I've seen a lot of quotes like this recently here in Mexico: Son más víctimas a causa del aborto, que aquellas de la guerra contra el narco. There are more deaths from abortions than those from the war on drugs. I would guess desperation. Fear. Hopelessness. And why do these abound? And why do the latter exist? For some maybe ...

The Musings of Farmer: June 2010

The Musings of Farmer. Details of my adventures when I have them. When I don't I occasionally rant about whatever is on my mind. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. I have a place now, an office / apartment above a popular guesthouse in PG. At left is a photo of the entrance to the room. I was worried it might be too hot, but it's very well ventilated. I have been sweating like a pig outside walking, but was fine in here with a fan on. Sunday, June 20, 2010. Farewell Dinner, 2010. We also invited other good friend...

The Musings of Farmer: April 2011
http://jbfarmer.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
The Musings of Farmer. Details of my adventures when I have them. When I don't I occasionally rant about whatever is on my mind. Tuesday, April 19, 2011. The Subway Show (Kiva Fellows Blog Repost). John Farmer, KF14, Mexico City. So this morning I get on the northbound subway leaving Ermita. This is the Blue Line, heading from middle-class southern part of town toward the bustling center of Mexico City. There's one seat, but the people around it are sort of spilling into it, so I stand. Then another blin...

The Musings of Farmer: July 2011
http://jbfarmer.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
The Musings of Farmer. Details of my adventures when I have them. When I don't I occasionally rant about whatever is on my mind. Monday, July 11, 2011. War Museum, Torola and San Fernando. After a full work-week in Morazán, Pily and I took a day just to play. Play for us meant a trip to a museum, visiting interesting towns and feeling the power of a 100-foot-high waterfall. Outside the War Museum in Perquín. "Let's take care of the environment". John in a crater from a 500-lb bomb. Saturday, July 9, 2011.

The Musings of Farmer. Details of my adventures when I have them. When I don't I occasionally rant about whatever is on my mind. Sunday, August 15, 2010. More Travels with the Ahijadas. I step outside from the tiny store with my can of beer, ready to head back to the hotel with my adopted family. Juanita, age 18, Tono, her son, Ilda, age 13, and Irma, age 12 are staring across the street. It's nine PM in Guatemala City's Zone One, and the bars are starting to get going. El se llama Matitrux! Sunday morni...

The Musings of Farmer. Details of my adventures when I have them. When I don't I occasionally rant about whatever is on my mind. Thursday, April 5, 2012. I've gone up three volcanoes in the last month or so. First Ajusco. With my wife Pily. It's a pretty easy run up from the parking area, though there wasn't exactly a trail the way we went. It's technically in the DF (Distrito Federal), but remote and nearly 13,000 feet. Pily on the slopes of Ajusco. Aaron on La Malinche. At the top of La Malinche. It wa...
