  2. I remember that day. We stood at the corner of Springfield and Saunders for hours (or so it seemed) and threw confetti at El Presidente as he rode by. Had I known he was a complete d-bag, I would have just played ball in the street or rode my bike instead, which is what we typically did on days the prez was not visiting la frontera.
