OmiZIHón de Deber Municipal

https://youtu.be/8xs3-xb7qtI

Unfortunately, our local government continues more interested in benefiting its overly ambitious politicians than its citizens. Another day, another shooting in plain sight on a busy main street, and once again, the police take so long to arrive that they are less than useless. But the mayor insists that tearing up the pedestrian streets so that he can replace the pretty adoquín paving stones with his silly painted concrete cubes is more important than public security, because all he's done for the municipal police during the past 5 years is give them new uniforms and a few new trucks. Instead of professionalizing our local police force, he's mostly just poured cement, too much of it in projects of dubious if not null necessity such as the repaving of downtown's pedestrian streets. I hope none of you had to witness today's tragic event on Avenida Morelos near the Elektra store. I wish we had capable city administrators instead of greedy self-serving politicians.

Other than this extremely unfortunate event, it was another absolutely gorgeous day in Zihuatanejo. Lots of people have shown up for the long weekend, since Monday is a legal holiday. Downtown shops and restaurants were doing a good business, from what we observed, and smiling families could be seen walking the streets, the waterfront and enjoying the beaches.

The waves from the mar de fondo event provided wonderful sleeping "music" this Friday night, but by Saturday evening they seemed to have let up. A nice cool breeze was blowing in out of the sierra while we strolled to the pier and back this evening.

For those who care about such things, the ISS was visible tonight and will be visible twice Sunday evening, then again on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Get the ISS Spotter app or check the link under the SKYWATCHER section of my LOCAL WEATHER page.
