is currently affecting all parts of the world simultaneously, in multiple and severe ways. The speed in which everything changed further illustrates my theory that El Paso is now (and only until recently), intertwined with the rest of the world like never before.

That’s the point I tried making in An Introduction of Paseño History, which is part of the El Paso del Norte Loteria set. With so many people at home, and out of work, I decided to put all of the individual parts of my book on this website, for free.

There are still game sets available to purchase –with a stable supply around the corner. Plus, the book is now available to buy individually, as well. As everything I’ve ever done has been a completely independent effort, any support that helps further this and other projects, is always incredibly humbling and appreciated. Now more than ever, supporting individual creators or entrepreneurs in our communities is important and righteous.

However, I thought all El Pasoans (regardless of their ability to spend) could benefit by using some of our new free time learning about our home. Because once you internalize how long this place has been around and how many other people have called it “home,” it becomes a reminder that no matter the adversity, it too will pass.
