Blowing out the candles

09 February 2005. Inspired by .

It's not often one's birthday begins with the greeting "Are you ok?". A small car bomb it seems, 17 "slightly injured" including shock. The bomb went off in the Exhibition district, where the Mexican president was due to turn up and open the unusual modern art show, ARCO (I'll be going along tomorrow I think).

The slogan pasted everywhere for the visit of the Olympic inspectors is "Ready for You". Terms and conditions may apply.
