Just in case you forgot, Mexico STILL hasn't declared a winner from the July 2 election

we have such a limited attention span... this story has virtually disappeared from u.s. media...

Paseo de la Reforma, also known as Reforma Avenue

Pick either side of the road and a whole new world of life has opened up. But this is not some avant-garde exhibition or some attempt to redefine modern living. It is part of what has become tent city, a vast swathe of canvas stretching hundreds of metres down this now blocked artery running through the heart of the capital.

And nor are the tents full of homeless people. They are packed with political protesters who want to change the outcome of the presidential election - all of them supporters of the left-wing candidate, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

these folks aren't going to let it go... good for them... however long it takes...

(again, thanks to the bbc...)
