Cinco de mayo
 
Not that I am much into holidays promoted for the benifit of beer companies, but you got to love the back story.

....the Mexicans routed the remaining French soldiers with a combination of their tenacity, inhospitable terrain, and a stampede of cattle set off by local peasants. The invasion was stopped and crushed....

Gentlemen, it is time to get wasted.

There were having a little party down in the bottom floor of our building today. As I was walking by they offered me some food - I asked if they had some tequila and they didn't so I passed.

Couldn't have been much of a party.

Not really a holiday promoted for the benefit of beer companies if you live in area of Mexican heritage.

Not to pee on anyone's Mex parade, but today is also Holocaust Remembrance Day. :(
