"
. . . hoping you can just relax and kick back with another Sam Adams this evening after a long uneventful day. . . ."
I hope that nothing gets out of control today either. I did note with interest just a few minutes ago -- I'm doing my morning examination of the Mexican web sites -- that even American newspapers are worried that AMLO's demonstration might get out of hand and both the Washington Post and the Washington Times have urged him not to let the situation get out of control. Even the Washington Post says (I'm translating from the Mexican article) "it appears some votes have been counted poorly, as is the case in almost all elections, but this does not signal a systematic attempt to falsify the result." The Washington Post???? The Washington Times went even further, so Mexicans are aware that the world sees dangers involved in that demonstration today.
And just in case you want to check out the original article livius, here's the link:

And I'll probably translate a little something today once I see what's out there, but what I'm really waiting for is the aftermath of the demonstration.
My neighbor is barbequeing today and he has promised to send some over in return for my preparing a batch of potato salad -- my Mom, god rest her soul, made the world's best and I've kept her recipe close -- so I'll hold the rest of my Sam Adams until the barbeque shows up.
Well, hell didn't freeze over when the WaPo said that, but it must at least have gotten a breath of cool air! It's surprising that a lot of normally pro-left sources are less than thrilled with the idea of massive disturbances going on right next door to us. It's a remarkable and unusual display of common sense on their part.
I think you'll be able to enjoy your BBQ and Sam Adams in peace tonight!
