The news is saying this is officially the wettest month in Mexico’s history! Hell, it’s f#%$ing pouring out of my office as I’m typing this; which for me it means I’ll have to wait a few hours ’til I can get back home, but for thousands it means the loss of everything they own. So please consider donating to the Red Cross, or any NGO of your choosing, to support the victims of this historical natural disaster. Muchas gracias.

Quote of the Day:
“Immediately the wooden figures were annihilated, destroyed, broken up, and killed.
A flood was brought about by the Heart of Heaven; a great flood was formed which fell on the heads of the wooden creatures.”
