Chupa Cabras and Chemtrails
I used to announce the California State Lottery in Spanish as a side gig when I was living in San Francisco. I worked with some characters, one of which was a guy who firmly believed in the Chupa Cabra myth. We would argue about this – yes, I know, why? but we did. He brought me a VHS tape to watch and in it was someone dangling a light fixture and he said it was a ship. Right. Anyway, it’s a beautiful day outside and I was sweeping the porch this morning and my neighbors were already in full gear for the Italian day parade (which is, ahem, tomorrow) and we were looking up at the beautiful pale blue sky and there were two giant white puff streaks going in opposite directions (we had both just heard jets overhead). He said his cousin says they are chemtrails. Apparently she is convinced the government is trying to keep us down, keep us from reproducing, and keep us drugged. He told her that the government needs taxes so why would they want us to stop reproducing and she countered, “Why did they put fluoride in the water, same reason, to sterilize us.” Â Whatyagonnado?
