Do I Want to be Mayor?

Not in Mexico. From the NYT today.

``Here in this pastel-splashed colonial town, it was a shock to most residents when the popular mayor was bundled into a sport utility vehicle in August and found dead days later. It was less of a surprise that several local police officers were accused of the murder. ''

Neither in Ecuador!

Back in Mexico, from the NYT link above last.

``Mayor Montalvo said he worried most about the 50 percent drop in tourism because of the swelling violence around his town, including shootings and kidnappings in nearby Monterrey that prompted the State Department to pull children of its workers out of the country. ''

I have one point in my favor though: My children are already in the U.S.!
