In Honor of Mexico’s Berlin Wall Move Biden Should Vow Not to Prevent Any Person From Leaving the US Who Wishes To

At least that’s how I would handle this story:

Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero directed the 3-ton Cold War relic to be installed in Friendship Park in a project titled, “A World Without Walls.” Written on the slab of concrete is the inscription, “May this be a lesson to build a society that knocks down walls and builds bridges.”

When asked why Caballero decided to erect the piece in Tijuana, the mayor said “How many families have shed blood, labor, and their lives to get past the wall,” according to the New York Post.

I must confess that having been born in 1963 and having a vivid memory of the cold war I don’t recall a whole lot of effort being made by the East Germans to keep people from entering, but maybe that’s just me.

Yesterday In my post on the EPM crew it was noted how much the crew make a difference for their ability to safely pack and move dozens of machines from Providence RI to Sturbridge MA. There is a another crew at every Pintastic that is worth a shout out and that’s the crew of volunteers like Lisa:

And the People like David Marsdon one of the founders who keep things going

You will see folks like them working hard to make sure you are able to have a good time. If you attend Pintastic NE 2023 this year, make it a point to say thanks.
