Water Crisis in Mexico City, November 15, 2009

Today Mexico City has whole swats without drinking water. The Cutzamala Water System broke.

My mother will hopefully get water tomorrow!

Like Big Boy Caprice in the Dick Tracy movie, says in an escape scene,

This is awful!

From La Jornada in Mexico City, I get this:

"Sin embargo, este sábado, la ruptura de un tubo en la línea 1 del acueducto obligó a suspender el suministro de agua en bloque al valle de México en un ciento por ciento."

My translation:

However, this Saturday, the breakdown of a pipe in line 1 of the aqueduct forced the water suspension in block to the Valley of Mexico in ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.

Wow!

Nothing in the NYT. The NYT is not a Mexico City paper. It seems to me that for Americans, Mexicans don't exist, . There is my mother in the city without running water, and nothing in Google!

Maybe you should change the name to "New" Mexico? Seriously, it is a shame that it isn't just be called, "America".

It will be a hard sell around here.
Viva Mexico Cabrones, is much of a mythical view still.

Some kind of Quebec separatist movement, but to the South.

By the way, the water is coming back.
