Dispatch from the frontlines of the local War On Dust: (Here in the desert, you have to dust every single surface in your house every second or third day if you want to keep up with the Joneses. Or rather, the Jaliscos, Jaimes or Jotas. And that's even if you never crack a window to let in fresh air.)

Want to know what they play at office holiday parties in Juarez?

Answer: cumbia, cumbia, and still more cumbia. To hear a sample of the song that has been ringing in my head since Saturday night, go to:
iTunes STORE / iTunes Latino / Power Search
Type "Chiquilla" into the Song field. Select the first result.

Try dancing to that with people you work with, (it's mostly close-contact, couples dancing here) and still respect yourself the next morning...
