Why? in Olinala

Why does the rooster outside our door crow in the middle of the night?
Why are there piles of horse manure in the park?
Why are there two armed guards riding on top of the Coca-Cola delivery truck?
(Sorry Isaiah, but those are NOT nail guns, like you think.)
Why does a church bell ring at 11pm and again at 6am?
Why does everyone’s “black water” empty into the barranca that runs through the middle of the town?
Why are there so many unfinished homes?
Why does the preschool teacher give her students so much candy?
Why does the popular candy covered with chili power have lead in it?
Why are there tiny scorpions resting in the space between the wall and the ceiling?

Why are the people here so incredibly friendly towards us?
Why is the air so crisp?
Why are the stars so brilliant and bright every night?
Why are the mountains so breathtaking?
