January 24, 2005Monday, 8amHey, I can't talk now... I've got work to do!!! I have review some 30+ internet news sites (in Spanish) to summarize today's top international stories for the Daily Report. One interesting note, though: as I looked out the windows while waiting for my elevator, I was shocked to see plumes of white smoke rising from the city. Turns out that the municipal landfill (aka: the garbage dump) has caught fire! Yes, I'm afraid to say that those fluffy white things aren't clouds, but smoke from burning trash drifting across the city. One city official stated that the fire might have accidentally been started by the "guajeros" ... those who make a living on the garbage dump by separating out plastics, metals, and carton... and who sometimes light fires at night to keep warm. (And, yes, that's our office building in the lower left-hand corner.) Posted by elcanche at January 24, 2005 08:10 AMComments
see! I told you your day to day life is interesting. Look forward to seeing the photo. I bet THAT will create an interesting odor across the city!
