> I was in the border town of Reynosa for 19 hours yesterday. > I was down there on Thursday and was told that both the old Reynosa bridge and the Pharr bridge were closed for a few hours on Tuesday or Wednesday while the street department cleaned up some blood and brass following a little dispute. It didn't happen at the bridges but in a *colonia* that lies sorta in between the two, so they didn't want people turistaing around in the area 'til the fracas settled down. At any rate, we are all small fish in a big ocean. Most of us don't have anything the Zetas want--they have more money, more drugs, more cars & pickups, and more big guns than all cavers put together. There's always a chance that we could encounter some of them by accident--just like getting struck by lightening, run over by a semi, or becoming voluntarily victims of errant fear mongers. You're probably in no more danger crossing the Pharr bridge than watching the news on Fox cable. --Ediger
