Longer stays for day trippers now that Daylight Saving Time back.
As I typed this at 7:02 PM it is still light although the sun officially set a few minutes ago. Being a day tripper this is nice for the times that circumstances beg extended stays. As far as I'm concerned we can stay on DST year round. Your thoughts?
For years I would stay late but as I "matured" the realization came that it wasn't worth the pain and lately with all the homicides why risk a stray bullet if you are fortunate enough to make day time "bombing runs"? This applies more to the non bar guys who prefer the paraditas most likely. The day chicas appear to be more natural, appreciative and over all less rushed as the clock ticks during room time.
Ped East Border Crossing (the old original one)
I've enjoyed using it continuously since the new Chaparral West re-entry to the USA opened. Today there was a sign (notice) before the turnstile Mexico side stating that in "early August" it would close "permanently". Sorry to see it go as I don't fancy having to cross the old river bridge, take the long walk on Mexico side only to cross back over the freeway to the trolley.
Those using the old crossing still have over 4 months however unless they bump up the date. More likely it will remain open longer than expected if it's a matter of construction.
