Restful unrest

General strikes can be quite relaxing. Classes were cancelled. And everything -- airports, highways, bus stations, restaurants, supermarkets -- was closed. There was nowhere to go but to the swimming pool. Kind of like a snow day with nice weather. Apparently the department of Santa Cruz and the federal government have temporarily broken their impasse. So all things are back to normal tomorrow. Unless the norm has become political chaos. Then it will be going back to abnormal.
