Z Dock of Z Bay

I shot this photo yesterday morning, and apparently soon afterwards someone arrived with a chainsaw and cut down one of the old tamarind trees that's been there forever. Not sure who or why, but if no one there including the fishermen, Navy personnel, port captain personnel nor any other locals present did anything to stop it from happening then perhaps we just don't deserve to have anything nice and you and I are just wasting each other's time.

It's election year and the slick willies at city hall are trying to pull fast ones to help their own causes to the detriment of the general population and our tourism. They fast-tracked some zoning changes to bring Zihuatanejo a big step closer to becoming JUST LIKE ACAPULCO by wiping out over 50% of what's left of our natural areas so they could accommodate the squatters and their new building projects (cement is what makes campaigns go round). Although its legality is dubious and local civil engineers and other concerned citizens are contesting it via the courts and appeals to our rather odd interim governor, the leader of several squatter communities (who actually has a warrant out for his arrest but somehow never seems to get arrested) had the audacity to publicly criticize the responsible citizens for trying to block the zoning changes by claiming they were "affecting 3,000 families", to which I and others quickly fired back that his land thievery was affecting tens of thousands of hard-working law-abiding families.

Add to the socio-political cacophony a cryptic announcement by the region's most popular morning radio talk show host that he would be leaving his program after making an announcement on April 21st, and we've got all the makings of some serious drama.

The game is a-foot. I love it!
