I'm a big fan of border towns, any border will do. I think they are a very interesting breed. Last I heard, and this is from a few thousand miles away, was that the people being kidnapped were somehow related to the drug stuff. But I certainly don't know. Being kidnapped and ransomed might be great for my career, I'll tell them I'm a famous artist and they'll charge even more (who would they charge???), then when they don't get paid... just think of all the free press and publicity I'll get!
It seems like a nice Center, with quite a lot going on. I really look forward to being a part of it.
