Cinco de Mayo

Who was the bright organizer of Cinco de Mayo? Urban legend seems to counter the culture and blame Corona.

Although I did not participate in any of the festivities, it makes one go "Hmmmm!" Monday night celebrations and Corona and lime, can only make for a difficult time, on Tuesday morning.

Lets change this holiday to Friday or Viernes de Mayo!We might even call it "Viernes."

52 celebrations a year is better than just 1.

Gas Mask and Driving

What Were You Doing When You Should Have Been Driving?

Wearing a gas mask and driving!

So I drive up next to this guy who happens to be wearing a gas mask and driving. Let's talk about freaking out! I was looking all around. My head was turning around like the girl in the exorcist. Quick clarification! No projectile vomiting. I was searching the sky for some weird mushroom cloud or purple haze. I was definitely confused and distracted. I have never seen anything like this, "Why is this guy wearing a gas mask?"

After entertaining multiple reasons I finally came to the conclusion, he must be suffering from allergies! It is still weird if you ask me.
