Re: Another finding.

I've been exploring the channel that host the album that originated this post, and has several 60's and 70's mexican albums that were unknown to me... Quite refreshing the ones that I've heard so far.

¿Remember I was complaining two months ago that we were hovering the 0 in the Celsius scale? About a month ago the weather switched to daily minimums of 15 and maximums of 25, also Celsius... We have been in our version of spring for a month already.
