The here and now... and what and why

Complacency is a trap. At least that’s what I was thinking when I up and left the comfort of a Yankee prep school gig, where I taught music, amongst other things, for 28 years. There was also that life long career as a composer, musician and artist.

First, it was a year in St. Thomas, USVI, working as a reporter and shooting photography and then, a year in San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Time passed.
More time passed and a year back in the Athens of America followed by a hasty return to Oaxaca where it is all happening.
A couple of years in San Sebastian Etla and now, just down the road in San Pablo Etla. Life is good.

You can find my music on Jango (World & latin - Worldbeat) and at iTunes and most online stores.

Getting around

These three modes of transportation were parked outside the market in Etla. In thinking about it, these are really the way people get around. Horses and burros are regular sights. Yes, people have cars, but the collectivos or cabs are the way lots of people get from place to places. Buses, too. And motos or motorcycles in various sizes are everywhere. I would love to get one, but I would kill or maim myself in no short order and I don't need that aggravation.And the police have a new way of getting around.
Put the two shots together and it makes quite a statement.
Lojack? No need. People have their own effective security devices.
