Welcome to the one day of the year when every American speaks fluent Spanish. Well, they speak fluent calendar in Spanish anyway.
Everywhere I went today people were discussing their Cinco de Mayo plans: office lunches with a Mexican theme, margaritas at the local watering hole after work, tortillas, tacos, and fajitas for dinner with margaritas to wash it all down followed by, well... more margaritas.
So now I'm wondering... If we Americans are so anxious to embrace a Mexican day of celebration, why are we building a wall between the two countries?
I say let's reallocate the money for the wall. Let's just pay the money to Mexican farmers to grow more Agave plants! To support all the extra farming, Mexico will have to call their migrant workers back home. Everybody stays on their own side of the border, everybody's happy, and Tequila flows like water!
Speaking of which.. my, ah, water glass is almost empty. Time for a refill.
Wishing you all a spectacular fifth... of May that is.
