Turn Zih Big Wheel

Happy New Year to you, Lupita and all Zihuaphiles.

A note of caution tonight: might he a good idea to be under some kind of cover when the shooting starts. Everything that goes up....etc. A stray bullet landed a couple of feet away from where our friend Dan was standing. The next year, one clanged off the bar-b-que up on the roof of Nora's building.
All, of course, in good fun.

Excellent warning. We've also had rounds buzz past our heads and impact nearby. There have been serious casualties locally from the stray bullets fired in celebration. This used to be a local tradition practiced by almost everyone, but most locals of respectable families stopped participating in this years ago when cuernos de chivo began appearing in the area. It's one thing to pop off a few rounds with your handgun, another entirely to hear automatic gunfire from military assault weapons owned by violent criminals. The whole fireworks scene is no longer a pleasant experience for lots of us here.
