There's a show on PBS about Nuestra Familia
It's kinda spooky when a documentary talks about your hometown as the Mecca of the Mexican Mafia — what Chicago was to the gangsters of the '20s and '30s.

I grew up on the side of Salinas where the gangs were born. It sure as hell wasn't like this when I was a kid.

1. Before I moved to my last appointment in NC,
there was a documentary on The Learning Channel (TLC), showing in the opening shots, a KKK Rally, in the very same town.

Good God. :scared:

3. I'm searching for alternatives.
But things don't look very promising out there, either.

5. Just don't bring along your instant martians.
And for God's sake, keep them away from the water!
