Whimsical news last night from Piedras Negras Radio XEMU:

♫ La Rancherita del Aire ♪


1) Reacting to Piedras Negras civilian reports of sujetos armados -- media code phrase for Drug Cartel gunmen -- the Mexican Army chased down a vehicle - full of armed aggressors packing some real fire power!

Don't know about the heaviness of the hoods collective brain - housing group, but their arsenal was reportedly heavy on such things as .223 & 5.56mm caliber + some bigger stuff.

Interestingly enough the Army uses these calibers interchangeably, most likely depending if the captured weapons are designed for civilian or military use.

2) An official announcement from the beverage industry claims that Piedras Negras is NOW the World's Leading Consumer -- per - capital wise -- of Coca - Cola!

3) Bored young people across the river in Eagle Pass High School -- decided to send out multiple cell phone messages claiming a balacera -- or shootout -- was in progress...

Guess they were hoping for a an early Christmas break, huh?? :)
