Gran Quilombo

Today it rained hard, flooded the streets in Buenos Aires, and destroyed massive amounts of merchandise throughout the city. Around 5PM, a bus went off the road a half block from my house, cruised up onto the sidewalk, and crashed straight into a pharmacy. Somehow, nobody died. At around 5:30, a robber walked into the quiosko down the street, broke a bottle when he walked in, and proceeded to cut up the face of the store owner. He stole his money and took off. The owner was taken to the hospital with serious wounds on his face. And on top of this all, the price of a bottle of beer went up a peso in my supermarket. Crazy world.
