Poor Mexico City! First the swine flu outbreak, and now, an earthquake. (No deaths or major damage, thank goodness, but still... jeez.)
You know, I grew up in the world of the cold war. I learned of shit like the great depression, and of the epidemics over the centuries. Now here I am in the midst of what might be considered a horrible recession/depression, and now there's a potential flu pandemic, and you know, I just keep going on. It's not in my world yet. I don't know if I should be scared or happy, but here I am, and I exist.
