So, your grandmother just hung around the border offering fresh sopapillas and chocolate to Villa's bunch when they stopped to get tomatillo gruel for the horses? >She was a >left-handed knitter who moonlighted (moonlit?) for the >forerunners of the CIA. Hey, don't talk about the forerunners of the CIA. Even the runners are not too swift, not to mention the forerunners. >Townes van Zandt wrote a song >about her and Pancho. (Last yucca bag he ever gave anyone!) That was the almost forgotten "That Old Bag" right? I think I had an old 78 of it that was stepped on by an aging gringo who was trying to avoid a horse. Happy New Years to the Zapatistas and Villanos out there - and the rest of you as well.
