"It does kind of make us Chicanos look bad," Rosales said.

Legalize whatever's out there. Private/public employers still get to call the shots on hiring practices, including drug testing. If you test positive, you may have to cut back on the utilities.

Thanks for the links. Especially loved the appearance on Ed Sullivan. It was a "rilly great shew!"

Could you provide a link of the ballots for both parties? I inadvertently threw away Thursday's Victoria Advocate with the candidates.

I live right next to tracks. A lot depends on who's behind the wheel. Some of them have a light touch on the horn, others are sadistic maniacs who wake the dead with a full-volume blast.
