[PUGACHEV]

TJ was an interesting place. If you could get past the tourist part, the donkey with the zebra stripes sprayed painted on, for example, and make it over the hill to the Pacific ocean side, life could be very pleasant, and cheap. Back in the early ‘90s when I was going to Mexico a lot, I seriously considered basing my business in San Diego, and living in TJ. With the border open 24 hrs, and passage back and forth a pretty casual affair back in those days, it seemed like a clever idea.

[eureka!]

Re#45 There were a number of commuters like that as I recall when I was down there about the same time. Today, I wouldn’t cross the border for any reason.
