I had a dream.

May 2, Solvang.

"Day without immigrants" across the country and it just so happens I'm stuck without news today of all days, as the wireless connection is being erratic.
But suddenly as Fridman is working outside on painting his rolla bolas we hear chants coming from up the road behind the circus and the trailers and turn to see a ribbon of high-school students marching down, waiving American and Mexican flags, adding their voice to the national chorus. Even in tiny Solvang, California, they were out, so I'm tempted to think the action will be successful.
"A Day without Mexicans," the movie, becoming reality: in my wildest dreams I couldn't have imagined it.
