I didn't do anything for Cinco de Mayo this year. I usually go to the Mexican quarter in St. Paul and drink and eat, but I just spaced it this year.

Met one of my grad school classmates that was in town yesterday, hadn't seen each other in 40 years.

My god was he fucking old!

I didn't realize that it was Cinco de Mayo until a guy in a truck forum posted a jar of mayo in a sink. It would appear that I have legendary skills in avoiding the TV.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Most of the employees who work at the company where I do are Hispanic...most from Mexico though some are from other Central American countries. It's hard to miss around here which is why I didn't get any Tex-Mex food today...too crowded with people going for the margaritas on the cheap.

Perhaps this might be a surprise, but 5 de Mayo is not generally celebrated here in Mexico. It's just another day.

Here it's a mostly a day to lure customers into restaurants with the promise of cheap tequila.

They have a big parade down Concord St. in St. Paul. Go figure.

I think it's mostly a USA thing. They do have a parade in Puebla. The Battle of Puebla was ultimately a pyrrhic victory which I think is why isn't really only a regional thing in Mexico.

...given that September 14th has a bit more significance. At least the beer isn't green...no offense to the Irish.

After seeing that Dreading (Crime and Psychology) recently linked to an article about Nathan Larson (the alt-right pedo who tried and failed to run for Virginia's House of Representatives in 2018), I decided to send them a PDF file (what else) I made of the memoirs he wrote on his old, long-archived, website.
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
