Re: “Before You Travel Internationally”
I live in Mexico when I'm not in Humboldt and I find Jennifer's comment about buying tampons in Mexico irritating and racist. Most women wouldn't want to mention their need for tampons from their Thai surf guide, either. Mexico has enough media problems without inventing false ones in a forced and ineffective attempt to be funny. The only difference between buying tampons in Mexico vs. the U.S. is that pharmacies in Mexico are not self-service, so unless you're in Costco or a supermarket, you have to ask for the tampons from a clerk behind a counter (usually a young woman, by the way). Some people find that disconcerting. Other than that, there's no difference at all.
Re: “Who has the Power?”
Mea culpa. I apologize to Rex Bohn for my sarcasm in my letter of July 23, and thank Jean Damon (letters, August 6) for pointing out my inaccuracies in assuming the Governor makes the decisions about gatherings during the pandemic.
