Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Actually, for me atleast, it hasn't been a very good evening. Or a life, for that matter! My family starved to death, as did many I knew. The rest who haven't died, are severely malnourished. People like me. The reason for this? Ever since Mexicans' came, there has never been enough jobs. The jobs you did get, paid little, and the bread you did get, wasn't enough. There is also a terrible drought, with huge dust storms, and all the dust gets into everyone's lungs.
Fortunately though, things are looking up.
