Perspective, in Perspective.

While at a club called La Purranda, I and a friend asked for a Litro of Gallo. The owner of the establishment, who we`ve gotten to know over the last couple weeks, apologized but said they were out of Litros. Giving him a hard time, we started to joke with him and asked what type of place he was running. He then said that it was because his driver hand`t made this weeks run. We then responded that that wasn`t a good excuse. And asked what was up with the driver. His response ¨the driver was shot and killed¨. The conversations mood quickly dropped to a sobering state. It turned out, that while on one of his routes, a group of armed gun men killed him and, I think, the guard that always accompanys the delivery of beverages.

····Gallo drivers, and for that matter, many of the drivers around here, collect rather large sums of money when making deliveries. And, because of this, they are prime targets by criminals.····

As we left the bar, the owner again apologized for the lack of Litros. We turned around, told him not to worry about it and voiced our sympathy for what happened. A momment in time that makes you appreciate the little things and also opens your eyes to the broader picture.
