I took this photo on the occasion of my grandmother's 100th birthday which we celebrated on the farm.
The only security is at the Int'l bridge over the Rio Grande. There are Border Patrol in the area but stretched to the limit. Many have been calling for Troops along the border. I believe the Feds are scared to death of an International incident that will bring us into a shooting war with our good neighbors to the South. I've got to get my parents off the frackin' border but they won't budge. My family planted those orange and grapefruit orchards in 1954, the year i was born. Thats where i learned to drive a tractor and irrigate fields growing up.
