the entire rio grande a better place. so the first half of my trek across the southern stretch of the usa ends, literally, a stone s throw from mexico. it s wonderfully tranquil here, so it seems kind of odd that this place has found itself at the front line of politics. i m going to relish my last moments of serenity, because next week i ll be continuing myjourney west, where things start getting strange. you and i have just started something that we can t stop. there is no big oops button down here. there s only one problem, right? what was that? we are on this thing, and there s no one to turn it off. does that mean we are on here, like, forever? well, in theory,
