Sighted in Tehuacán

Although homogenity rules the coop here in the City of Health, this past weekend I spotted a gay couple openly flirting in the town square. It was incredible... score one for diversity! Other unusual things spotted this week -- two apparently pure bred stray dogs (yellow labs); three healthy, vibrant kittens; license plates from Utah, Minnesota, and Iowa.

In other news, I watched the Steelers game yesterday. It was a blast, not only because the Black & Gold won 21-0, but because I could actually hear the commentators who really know their stuff. Here is a direct translation of the commentary during a Steelers drive in the 3rd quarter:

He's past the 35, the 30, the 25 yard line. And he's down at the 20. The
Steelers are in the Red Zone, the Ketchup Zone!

Yup, he said ketchup. Well, he said "salsa de tomate," but somehow that makes it even cooler.

Also, on a quasi-related note, my family and I watch the news everyday before lunch. The anchor's name? Jorge Salsa. If we translate that to Pittsburghese, the dude's name is Georgie Ketchup. Almost as good as everyone's favorite Latino pitcher, Mr. Joe Table.
