Yep, 4 Mexican cartel guys  were caught by the cops. Now this all happened about 3 miles from our place and it cause a lot of inconvenience for many of the people that lived in that area, including our friend Catherine. The cops had the area blocked of from 3:15 until almost 9:00. Now normally this would be the end of the story, but the disturbing thing is that they caught them as they were walking along the interstate, less than 500 yards from our place.

Our area is ripe for cartel activity and I’m wondering if this is just the start of their moving in here. We are rural, we have more than a few people here that would love to work for them, there’s plenty of places that are perfect for grow operations, and police presence is pretty thin.

So we will now go back to our “same old, same old” routine until the next bit of excitement happens.

Last night we had a bit of excitement out here. It seems that on the road out to the national forest, a road I travel down frequently, had some sort of shooting that happened there. Details were scarce, but rumors abound. I’ll post here once I find out the true poop.
