I’m sorry, this would not make any sense if I translate it to English. It might not be well understandable in locales other than es_MX. But anyway — It shows most clients have a clear use case for Tehuacán Peñafiel.

Lets go eat some T.Bon (T-bone) and Ribay (rib eye)!

Some days ago, reading my local Couchsurfing groups, I stumbled across an announcement by Australian Peter Davies to go to each of the 148 stations in the Mexico City Metro system, take some photos of the environment, and document on his impressions. I have followed and enjoyed the Mexico City Metro blog since I learnt of it, and have grown used to looking forward to the daily post-or-two.

This means, every year, more knowledge, literature, paintings, music, movies and a long etcetera becomes collective property, instead of being artificially held by the current holders of their rights.
