Geting off the boat at Las Gatas

I'm sorry to hear that happened to your media naranja. The local government under the current mayor Gustavo García Bello is certainly shining brightly for the lack of attention to this old problem and many others. But hey, word is the construction of the mayor's new mansion in La Majahua is coming along nicely.

This problem with the pidemonedas was supposed to have been taken care of last year. When I see these "kids" (not all of these wannabe helpers are quite so young) my reaction is always to give them my best Clint Squint and to make sure they don't touch me or my family, and I help my own family on and off the boats. Any back talk from them gets them quickly put in their place with a stern warning. My family's safety is not something I entrust lightly to others, especially unqualified and undersized kids. There was a time when it was easy to shrug them off as well meaning kids trying to earn a little money, but it has taken on a mafia-like aspect of its own that the local authorities are not supposed to be allowing.
