Posting 1002 and Counting

Wow. Without even noticing it, I blew past my 1000nth posting on the Tex[t]-Mex Galleryblog. Let me take a minute here to thank my indulgent readers and to thank as well all the kindly readers of Tex[t]-Mex: Seductive Hallucination of the "Mexican" in America who have taken the time to read the book, drop me a line, or send me a salacious link or two. Here's hoping the next 1000 posts will be as useful as the first! Gracias, gracias!
