Cinco de Whyo?

They're celebrating Cinco de Mayo (technically it's Cuatro de Mayo today) in town here, which means that for one day of the year, Mexican food is sold in a different place from where it's sold all the other days of the year. They have food trailers uptown, they have a band, decorations, like that. I can walk to get great Mexican on all those other days with no trouble at all, so I'm celebrating Cinco de Mayo by doing laundry and practicing the piano. Cinco de Mayo is one of those holidays that are handy if you want an excuse to drink, but I don't need an excuse to drink. If I want to drink, I just drink.

None of this means I have any problem with Mexico being independent; I wouldn't want to give that impression. I just needed to get to the laundry.
