'Predators Leaving Their Mark'

Our Beautiful Sonoran Desert

Regarding the streets of Mexico being swept up at night - when did that start? Last time I was in Nogales, (many years ago), there were decades of trash on their streets.

LOL, I don’t know when the street sweeping started. I’ve only been to Mexico City three times, between 2002 and 2004. They had teams of street sweepers picking up the trash (no trash cans in sight), but you could still see the layer of accumulated filth and grime that the brooms missed.

No soap or soap dispensers in the beautiful National Museum.

No running water or flushing toilets at the national treasure of Teotihuacan, but there was an employee sitting on a stool outside of the stalls who offered to let you use a bucket of water (the same bucket everyone else used).

Most disturbing. I knew these areas when they were clean, and you didn’t risk dying from a hypodermic syringe while out hiking.

Last night, even the local socialist news featured this story - it’s gotten that bad. Cattle and wildlife are dying from eating the criminals’ plastic.
