All work and no play makes iamme a dull, dull girl!

How iamme feels when she can't write on her blogs
I must keep this post short, just long enough to give an explanation for my absence.

I finally got a new computer last week, but immediately the day after getting it, before I could even break it in, I received a call from my aunt asking for my help.

She is getting audited and needs all the help she can get.

Since she was the one who lent me the money for the computer (I will be paying it back later), I could not deny her the favor.

So, from here until the 28th, I may not be able to write much, but I will try to keep you updated as much as possible.

For now, I must get ready for work, but thought to let you know that I am OK and the world on the Texas border continues to be as safe as when I last left off, only a little bit busier than usual, lol.

Something is up

I must apologize again for not keeping up like I had wanted to.

A few days ago, my old computer just died on me.  Since then, I have tried unsuccessfully to write on this blog and in the end, just gave up and begged a relative to help me buy another computer.

As a heads up, I probably won't be writing much in the following days until March 18th. 

You see, in order for me to get my computer, I had to sell my soul to the devil, and the devil has decided that it needs my soul until then.  Better put, the person who lent me the loan now wants a favor in return, which means I'll be putting some hard work for long hours on end until the 18th.

It's these kind of favors that make really wish I could win the lottery. 

Anyways, asides from that very strange feelings have come across the border.  At least for me they have.

For one, there was some news on the Tiffany Hartley case that, to those who have been following that story closely, was very strange.

Also, one of the posts that I unsuccessfully could not put up had to do with the silence from the border patrol.  At the time I was writing it, I found it odd that I had seen very few of their vehicles, but since the Hartley story, it was as if they came out of the woodwork.  I had choppers flying over my home, and I found that odd considering that I haven't seen anyone crossing.

I'm not saying that they are after me, but I'll get to what I'm saying in a few.

Also going on, Texas trying to ban sanctuary cities and trying to turn police officers into immigration officers.  Oh how I wish I could go to one of these things.  What are they?  City council meetings?  The things I would say!  For example, all those "damning" testimonies, while my heart goes out to those families, their problem is an immigration problem, but a law enforcement problem.  Maybe their loved ones were victims of people who were undocumented and happened to have committed previous crimes, but banning sanctuary cities is not going to stop incidents like these from happening again, just like DWI laws haven't stopped people from becoming repeat offenders.

But back to my life...what is it that I've been feeling in the air?

Sigh...

I hate to say it because I feel people think I'm crazy every time I start to believe in a conspiracy, but I have to this time.

I mean, think about it.

From being quiet and hidden, all of a sudden we have border patrols buzzing back and forth when it is evident crossings are low.  Sheriff Sigi wants to post up bigger signs in Falcon warning tourists about the dangers in the Mexican water.  Sanctuary cities being attacked, plus a number of other things I've seen but can't explain in words.

Or maybe conspiracy isn't the word.  Maybe it's "setup", because it sure feels like these people are up to something that's going to make the border look like a war zone without there ever being a war.

I mean, we went fishing today again and the worst thing that happened was that we didn't catch any fish.  This time we fished at a different location right behind the international bridge in Rio Grande City.

So when we see all this commotion with choppers flying back and forth, DPS lined up 3 cars, side by side (no joke), on every turn around for almost 3 miles, but all you hear is silence?  And by silence I mean, there are no shootings, no people crossing, no one leading the police on a high speed chase.  It's very odd indeed.

So I just think that this whole fiasco is some political ploy that is being put in place to push for more border security on an already secure border.

Anyways, it's late and I have to work early in the morning tomorrow, but I will follow up as much as I can in the days to come.
