This was a story from the woman at the Marfa and Presidio County Museum. She was doing ejercicios to keep warm when I arrived. She told me that she would never want to live in a dangerous city like Houston.
There were some families who moved here from California, from San Diego, well yeah, from California, and their were boys who were trying to start a gang. And I think most kids are good, but you know, there are always some mischievous ones who would have followed them. But the kids, the kids themselves, put a stop to that. They weren't going to have it; not here in Marfa. I know. I used to work in the school. Those families didn't last very long here in this town.
"Do you only talk with abuelitas?" you may ask. Pretty much. I just need to figure out how to get them to take me home for dinner. :)
