Mexican Independance day! A big-ish deal here in California. Grab a Mariachi band, some beer and some tamales and join the fun! :beer::drunk::beer::drunk:

For shame, liz! Being in So. Cal, you should know it would be Sept 15th, not Cinco de Mayo! Defeat of the French at the Battle of Puebla.

Yeah, this is more of a \"we need a holiday this month\" holiday, and mother\'s day doesn\'t really count for some reason. Sept 15 isn\'t really celebrated much north of the border - at least not that I\'ve seen as a So Cal native.

My home computer got a virus or something for cinco de mayo.

This makes me less than happy.
I can\'t run anything of import, and
what does run goes very very slowly. Even the clock.

yeah, another marketing plan by corona goes off without a hitch...

the battle of puebla was a couple years before the french were finally defeated, and mexico regained it\'s independence...

this is a big day for those around puebla, just north of mexico city...
here in mazatlan they don\'t celebrate cinco de mayo, but all the govt. workers get the day off...
i learned the hard way, when i went to the post office here a couple years ago to pick up a box of minis that Privateer sent for me to paint...
nothing worse than standing outside a business that is closed for a holiday, while some guy is telling you how they don\'t celebrate the holiday outside of central mexico...
if you don\'t celebrate the holiday, why is the post office closed, and i can\'t get my minis???

i love the paradox that is mexico...
