Today Zihuatanejo registered about 100 less currently active cases of Covid-19 than yesterday. 343 for Zihuatanejo, 18 for La Unión, and 46 for Petatlán. Hmmm. And a few more deaths.

A hot night followed by another hot day. You'd never know we were in Semáforo Naranja. Total absence of authority downtown. There were noisy drunken parties on the beach, made worse by the echo chamber that used to be a garden in front of our home, and of course boombox cars parked in the streets making their own parties with trunks full of booze and other goodies. Hey, it's fine that folks are having a good time, but nighttime is for sleeping, so why can't the party animals respect the sleeping folks? And what the hell is wrong with the local government that it can't even patrol downtown Zihuatanejo enforcing a semblance of order especially on a Saturday night? I think we already know.

It looks like the Consulta Popular was a bust. Less than the 7.07% needed of the voting population participated, meaning no special process will be undertaken to scrutinize previous political administrations. However, I believe it's the opinion of the majority of Mexicans that if there is evidence that crimes were committed by any previous political actors, then they should be prosecuted under the law and no public consultation should be necessary. The law is the law and should be applied to all equally. This was entirely expected and predictable. Especially in the middle of a worsening pandemia.

The pixelated paseo.
The old and the new minus the tall and the leafy and about two meters of sandy beach.
