[pct-l] Re: I can't cross the border



Ah, the shock of walking into Manning Park, 2, 658.563921 miles from Mexico 
and then jumping onto a bus, into a car or on a train and ZOOMING away at a 
rate of two day's hike per hour.  "Zappo ding ding" goes the brain!  Your eyes 
have trouble adjusting to the lights, your skin begins to get moist and go pale. 
 The pang in your stomach says it needs 3,000 more calories, but you're not 
likely to need them this day.  Your nose begins to adjust and you notice the 
guy next to you has a handerchef over his nose and his eyes are watering at the 
stench coming from all over your body.  Some bugs crawl out of your hair, 
sensing that the ride is over and there's better pickings one seat over.  The 
scenery outside zips past so fast that it just blurs over in a green haze until 
the big city appears and then it's just concrete, asphalt, glass and stucco 
blurring into a melange of grey and pink.  

Ahhhh . . . back in society again.  Ain't it great?
