The other liquor/beer stores are spotty in their supply at best. #2: I have been told by two fine drinking establishments in Phoenix...

    Has Mexico reduced it's gas prices?

    I have not been to Mex since the price of oil on the world market has fallen. Just curious if the Mexican government has reduced their prices or if they are gouging the Mexican people who have no alternative.

    Not sure Mexico will ever overcome this curse

    Think maybe Mexico should just hire the Mossad and get serious about taking out their cartels. So far, most of the government and police are bought off or partners: http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/10/world/americas/mexico-missing-students-impact/=

    Five minutes left to go after 10 days of driving and I get stopped
