Re: I remember visiting Matamoros years ago.

Summer before last, we were invited to visit new friends in British Columbia. Knowing Canada's feeling towards handguns, ammo, etc., our truck was clean as a whistle before we left our park.

The Canadian Border Guard, upon spying our front bumper Texas license plate, asked how many guns we had with us. I said, 'no guns, no bullets'. The Canadian Border Guard said, 'I can search your vehicle'. I said, 'please do'. He said, 'please enjoy your stay'.

The point is: we knew the rules; i.e, "my house, my rules"....comprende?

Re: I remember visiting Matamoros years ago.

My wife and I spent a week in the Acapulco Princess some three dozen years ago. If you looked closely, there were armed guards patrolling the compound's perimeter after dark every night. During daytime, the Mexican Navy had armed patrols on the compound's beaches. Back then, the Acapulco Princess was a Five Star international resort.

Is there nothing new under the sun?
