Slab City: Reel 078

Jim Cox on the Mexican peso and national debt. Assorted cutaways of trees, water, chickens in farmyard. Interview with Jan on positive input from snowbirds, Sheila as “town crier,” and most people at slabs are basically good. As a full-time slab resident, Jan’s talk is basically upbeat and optimistic, unlike many other interview pieces.
