Folks,

I wish our friends of the spanish speaking persuasion a happy Cinco De mayo. As we know, that is the time every year when we Gringos say "May the Fourth be with you." winkngrin

OK, that was a stupid thing to type. Anywhere else and I might have been flamed for that. Not good. My asbestos lined britches are hanging on the clothesline.

I'll be more careful in future. According to a new poll of 2,000 Americans, only 22 percent of respondents knew that Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of the Mexican army’s victory over the French empire.
