Secondly, your face isn't even showing in the photo. Thirdly, while you were in the market, I asked the mule, he said "no problem!" <br /><br />I just read this post about five times and I can't find a slur directed towards either of you. I almost said that people say you are crazy, but I didn't because I didn't know it first hand.

They do not welcome people with cameras.<br /><br />I have read one article in the LA Times, that a few families moved in this area, who were laid off from work and could not find employment.

We still have a left over commune here way out in the country, but many of the people have moved up the ladder a bit and built homes. All of the photos were great painting a wonderful picture of the area. You need to make friends with one of them so you can get inside a bit farther.
