Oh Boy,
I fell so bad about this. I’m Mexican and I totally forgot all about it. Thanks for the reminder… You’re a better Mexican than I am…

Good info at both links; thanks, Bryan.

We’d better say a prayer for the people of that free and independent nation; Hurricane Lane is starting to look like a bad one.

CD, with the crew in charge of this country, I’m keeping my options open to go North or South.

Yeah, Steve, they have had a lot of activity down on the Pacific coast this year. At least it looks like Baja Sur is getting a pass this time.

Is this a margarita occasion? If so, please have one on me Cat Daddy & Mr. Squeeky. And I don’t mind if I join you.

It’s a bit odd that people in the US celebrate Cinco de Mayo, unaware that it isn’t Independence Day, but you can’t go wrong with a margarita if the weather is hot.

Wait, is there an occasion that is NOT a margarita occasion?… There’s Monday, Tuesday… Birthdays, Good Days, Bad Days, Any Days… Hot Days (to cool you down), Cold Days (to lower the body temperature so you don’t feel the cold as much), Temperate days (so you get cold, in which case, it’s a cold day, see Cold Days…)…. Okay, on Independence Day, you must waive a Mexican Flag and play Mariachi music… Chicken with Mole optional… but highly recommended….

We have a lot of Mexican restaurants down here now, but little Mexican food. They grind the meat instead of shredding it. It’s a travesty.

Locally everyone kept a low profile because of fears that La Migra will show up.

Evil Migra…
