Grizzly Benchmark
El Universal says that 1,000 people have been killed this year in violence related to organized crime. The 34 days that it took to reach that benchmark represents the fastest time ever, down from 51 days last year, and puts Mexico on pace for slightly less than 11,000 murders this year.

Indeed a ghastly statistic. By the way what has happened to the list of past posts that used to appear in the column on the left? I liked that as I could catch up on posts I had not read
This is kind of silly and embarrassing, but I got rid of it because I have a weird compulsion about round numbers that the blog posting made worse. I always wanted to have the monthly number end in 5 and the yearly end in 1000, which wound up being vaguely stressful. But Ill see if there's a way to return the list without the number.
How's that?
That is much better. I guess you could have more dysfunctional weird compulsions :-)At least this seems reasonably productive
PS By the way the new system is not as good as the one before. With the new system you cannot see which entries you have already read which you could do with the old system
Ok lemme keep tinkering.
OK Now I like this much better because I can see what I have already read :-)
