Most people don't know that back in
1912, Hellmann's Mayonnaise was
manufactured in England. In fact,
the Titanic was carrying 12,000
jars of the condiment scheduled
for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico,
which was to be the next port of call
for the great ship after its stop in
New York. This would have been
the largest single shipment of
mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico
... But as we know, the great ship
did not make it to New York. The
ship hit an iceberg and sank. The
people of Mexico, who were crazy
about mayonnaise, and were eagerly
awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate
at the loss. Their anguish was so
great, that they declared a National
Day of Mourning.

The National Day of Mourning occurs
each year on May 5 and is known,
of course, as - Sinko De Mayo.

And, while celebrating outside, a rain shower pops up, causing you to hunch over your taco and beer to protect it, giving you an uncomfortably wet back.

Heard once that a border crosser in TJ became upset with a Border Patrolman who called him a wetback. The Mojado said, "I am not a wetback. I crossed in Tijuana under a barbed wire fence, so don't call me a wetback."

Yes and no. That was why we chose that date.

Happy Cinco de Mayo (although belated)!

I think my favorite part of the holiday is reading up on the history of the event every year. Makes me feel closer to the homeland. sigh
