a different part of MX culture?

Huh? Last nite's adventure was about trying to protect 2 small dogs and nothing more. I couldn't care less if those people lean against my gate and certainly wouldn't go thru the trouble of trying to do anything outside to mess up the area to make them uncomfortable. I fully understand that anyone who wants to come in can easily get over the wall. On Arquitectos I was constantly bothered by people coming to the door with all kinds of crazy requests. Would I let them go in and over to the jardin and pick some peaches? No. Not likely. Then Oligario, the cute con man, with his donkeys and bags of dried leaves. He finally left me alone when I magically cured him. He had a story about how sick he was and had to go to the hospital so he needed $. Sure. I told him it was sad that he was sick but that I was not going to buy any more of his dried leaves. He perked up. Smiled. He was cured. Que milagro. It's always interesting. Lots more stories. So many people trying to take advantage of the gringos. Who rents the babies to the old ladies during Cervantino? Maybe the funniest was watching a young woman put on all kinds of shawls to cover herself so you wouldn't know she wasn't an old lady holding a baby on the street, begging.
