International kindness

Dear Sir,

Last Monday I went shopping at Wal-mart to buy a large box of chocolates for my kind and generous Dutch friend’s birthday. I found what I wanted but, unfortunately, the rather heavy box was on the upper shelf. Leaning on my cane, standing on tiptoes, I reached for it but it came down on my forehead next to my hairline.


Fairer way to compare medals

Dear Sir:

The Pan American Games are an offshoot of the Olympic Games, which began as competition among individual athletes but are now viewed as a competition among nations, representing the increasing nationalism that many people deplore.

Clean up your own act

Dear Sir,

Rick Perry, as a presidential candidate you should stop telling other countries to clean up what you should be doing in your own country.

A joy to watch

Dear Sir,

The superb Pan American Games opening ceremony was a joy to watch.

Women going naked

Dear Sir,

I agree with Jeanne Chaussee about women going naked on Mexican TV.  But it’s not limited to television.

Understanding a different culture

Dear Sir,

After reading Ms. Philpotts’ letter in the October 8 edition of The Reporter, I just had to respond. While I’m sure she’s probably a very nice woman and thought she was doing us all a favor by complaining to the manager at Walmart, I hope the manager didn’t get the impression she was a spokesperson for all the gringos living in the area.

Acting on our concerns

Dear Sir,

A week ago I made an appointment with Miguel Aguirre Estrada, the manager of Walmart  in Ajijic, for a meeting with myself and another Texan for the next day. We arrived on  at 2 p.m. to find the manager and three assistants waiting at the front door for us.
