700 soldiers arrived in Gomez last night. More men more equipment to patrol the streets of this side of the river. Yesterday I should have gone to the dentist at ISSISTE, a worker funded hospital systum. But the dentist chair cleaning systum was on the blink. No light blub since October. So when you get worked on,the dentist has the use the cieling light to see.The drill was also on the blink.No money for parts yet. Yet on the tv screen, airplanes flying in, troops filling trucks with strom troopers like moves. No money for a dentist chair up keep but millions spent on attacking drug gangs. Yet also yesterday close to my work place, I heard that someone had their car jacked just a couple of blocks away. Armed gun men. Was a time not to long ago that kind of crime had been un heard of. Lately small late model cars have been used in shootings and attacks. 2 days ago the siglo de torreon newspaper office was shot up in the middle of the day.
They had just celebrated 90 years of exsitence as a daily newspaper. Nice birthday present.
So all these new soldiers are on the streets. I see them driving up and down main streets. Their was two of them with their green fatigues and machine guns hung on their sholders while they bought cups of sliced fruits from a street vender. Their is money for all that protection. But not for a light blub for a dentist chair at a workers hospital.
