Blew me out of my chair....had to laugh. Seriously, around these parts on a 105 degree day when we are driving down the street in our 1998 Dodge p/u with the air conditioner blowing full blast...nice and cozy, Jose is in the median laying bricks........no gringo's or others anywhere to be seen. I don't care what you say, I admire them for that....course my mama showed me some of them digging out the ditch in front of our meager home when I was a kid and she said "son, if you don't get an education, you'll be out there doing that".

Confused....... So I can buy an "American" Dodge made in Mexico City or a "Japanese" Toyota Tundra, made in San Antonio, TX....new truck plant being built....boy I am really confused now. Mark
