I'm certain that no one who reads this blog will care much, but this is one of those posts of personal interest.

When I lived in Argentina about 7 years ago, my wife (then girlfriend/fiancee) lived in a quiet neighborhood outside Buenos Aires called El Palomar. I used to joke with her that it was a haven for ex-nazis because the streets had names like Wernicke (not very Spanish!) and there was an air force base nearby. Anyway, it was a pretty peaceful place - kind of like the Queens, NY of Buenos Aires.

This article from Clarin (in Spanish) talks about a recent murder of an old man in front of his home by some kids who just wanted to steal his car. This comes only a few months after another man was murdered nearby.

Sad.
