Funky Stuff (Mexico 2)

There is all kinds of funky stuff in Mexico. One, of course, is Mexico City itself. At night it has no skyline, but instead blankets the grounds for, well, miles and miles.



Beside the European squirrel (furry, reddish, bushy ears) and the North American squirrel (looking a bit like a fat pig, according to WX), there's a third kind - the Tex-Mexican naughty squirrel. It tries to eat everything and everywhere, and is too stupid to understand an outstretched hand doesn't always carry food.



However, you cannot blame this animal alone. In Aztec times, it looked similarly debilitated.



In fact, in Aztec times, almost everything looked pretty hopeless.












People, of course, were either funky or got sacrificed.








High-class people who were not funky enough got funkified, probably often enough forcefully.
