[AGL] the Long Ranger aka the Lone Ranger

[michelemason]

Actually, I almost got it—but where the hell does anybody think I have 
Mexican laborers? Sure, it would be way better than the drunks from the 
Mexican bar driving thru my fence and just leaving without putting up a 
strand, or paying for the crumpled t-posts, or even telling me the 
fence is down. Or, maybe the drunks who throw beer bottles in my 
pasture might pay the hellatious vet bills if a horse even survived 
long enough to get home before he /she bled to death. Perhaps you mean 
the laborers who come in during the afternoon and throw their 
What-A-Burger sacks at my feet in the driveway. No. Frances, its not 
racism. Its pure de fury.
And its the truth. I've never done a damn thing to deserve it.   mm  ps 
the sign on the bar just says "chulas" Even I know that one.
