ALMA'S Y2K STORY
{named changed due to statute limitation uncertainty}


Raised once-upon-a-time a seemingly White child of Middle Class with good financial habits type of privilege....  Alma... embraced the dazed and confused Counter Culture at age 15. Her romance with sweet Mary Jane led her to stronger drugs and she became a mid life failed adult and all the same ol' story obstacles, excuses, and laments.
True stoner, never claiming Weed as GATEWAY. It did provide access to desperate vain weight loss amphetamines then Meth resulting in a family collapse.
Alma never got arrested, even when witnessing the "Great White Hope" arrival of Meth manufacturing friends promising wealth and warning her about what happened to Scarface. You just can't tell a fat girl not to dive in a chemical promise of weight loss and wealth, though!

Addicted and one foot ahead of the Law, her addiction was too apparent. She still had dignity! 
Crying at the bus station, she left the words to her children, "Always go with the heart", as she pounded her chest.  She went on to say, "I love you, remember DRUGS did this. DRUGS ARE BAD." The kids went to the separated-from father in a neighboring state. 
Happy Y2K (literally year 1999 end)!

After 3 months living in a shelter, then joining the Carnival, she ended up in a cheap studio apartment right on a street next to a park that accessed the Colorado River 12 miles from Mexico. She got a job!

One day, Alma came home from work and there was someone all wet peeking out the laundry room that held one washer and one dryer. She speaks in English and says, "Can I help you?"  Her self reconstruction was trying to not do drugs and not be a bitch so she spoke an alternative to, " What the fuck are you up to?" She gets closer and sees a scared boy about 15-16 yrs old and then speaks in Spanish ,"Tienes Problema? Que esta aconteciendo?" Translating to ,  "Do you have a problem. What is happening?"  He says, "Soy mojado" , which means I am wet. She can see he is dripping and says, "Claro que." He shakes his head looking around scared and says "No Yo soy MOJADO!"

"Oh shit", her mind thinks, "WET oh duh!" I guess that it is a correct term on the Border when you jump it  by crossing the river. I thought it was a bigot term, but guess not if you are Hispanic. The part of the Colorado my friend Alma lived near was 11 miles from where it hits Mexico. This boy had swam upstream against the current for at least 11 miles. The flow is cold in the winter time.

She goes and gets a towel. She tells her neighbor, "Hey this kid (who was shivering) just swam 11 miles upstream from Mexico and says He is wet!" They all laugh. Another neighbor says they shouldn't help him and call the cops. Alma tells the cop caller neighbor that here at "Heartbreak Hotel" we all are up to something no good.

Alma let's the boy call his "uncle" who lived two blocks away. The man comes. He tells her that the boy does this all the time and then gets deported in a week. Alma admits that if she were young and healthy, she would be crazy like that on a weekend with friends!











A thought..


The laws have not just begun with some recent-tough-talking President who starts pointing out possible revival of the Eisenhower Era tactics...I speak always on HOW IS IT that Candidates come around like heroes with their old geezer "when elected" policies like the ideas were just born before election? Why not offer it anyway earlier in life? When I am fucking elected conditons? POLITICS >>>Oh it's just a Game Of Thrones-LIARS.

Seriously, Alma was on the edge of her American world feeling hollow due to her losing control of life and children due to drugs. She still smoked weed and was on and off doing speed. She did have a job making 600 weekly. Doing drugs had been to her a change from a happy hippy party to a white storm of tweeker madness of which she really hated. Later that year, she quit for good and moved North. Eventually she meets up with her kids. Sober for 16 yrs and a grandmother.

 I asked Alma why she didn't call the cops?  She said, "After being around so much failed attempts in life, how could I spoil the success of a fresh young boy?" 

Money saved would be to purchase blue prints from the Berlin Wall Memorial

History claims that only 5000 escaped the Berlin Wall in all the years it was standing!
