Evolution.



February 20, McAllen.

We are parked near the McAllen Convention Center, a sprawling complex that includes a mall, lots of parking spaces and a war memorial with black marble slabs, some blank. We were at this exact location three years ago with Chimera; it was a vacant lot with a hull of a building in the middle of scorched scrub grass, crews planting palm trees and shrubs along the recently emerging streets.
The shrubs are grown but the scorched earth is not far.
