I still remember one Thanksgiving in Barelas circa 1958 we were enjoying: tamales, pozole, turkey [Anglo style] and of course bischochitos — when the placa jumped a couple of undocumented vatos walking down our street. I still my grandfather getting up and closing the blinds — so that the jovencitos “Thanksgiving” would not be ruined.
