One year in late April a ship embarked from France carrying the next years supply to the Mexicans, who eagerly awaited it's arrival.
Unfortunately the ship encountered a bad storm and on May 5 it was lost at sea.
The Mexicans were so devastated by the loss the government declared a day of mourning to occur on May 5. It became a national holiday in Mexico, commentating the "Cinco de Mayo."

We have had that anyway for a long long time. They were that way when i was in school. None of them told the truth about the real reason for the civil war.....i had to learn that by reading other books.

I keep thinking about Ray's post on the main forum about organizing hooks, snap swivels, etc. with safety pins. Excellent idea in my opinion, the man must be an engineer. Winn Dixie didn't have any and I refuse to go to Walmart, I'll find them somewhere. Reminds of buying women's hair clips not long ago for my drop shot rigs to keep everything contained when moving about. Got them at Winn Dixie. I was examining them closely for the correct size, spring action, etc. A women was standing next to me while I was doing that and kept looking at me. I turned to her and ask if she thought if they were available in maroon. No telling what she thought of me.

When I was a kid running bare foot on the bayou bank I wore a pair of overall short pants......period........ My grandpa recomended them as an outer garment cause fo all the handy pockets, and straps. On the straps I had a diaper pin of brim, sac au lait, and cat fish hooks pinned to the straps along with a string of split weights in a pocket. I always had a few flies stuck in a strap, and some corks in a pocket, and a roll of 8 lb leader. Armed with that and a fly rod I ws ready to face the day. I remember picking moss to put on the hot aluminum bow of an ole aluminum bateau.

And that is much to do about nuffin.:biggrin

Need to stop fooling around, rib eyes are done, fresh maters need to be cut. Yours truly saw that Monsters University is on the television this evening from what I read in the newspaper tonight, have to adjust the antenna. Laughed out loud when I saw it a year ago. Told Ann that I would sure enjoy a pound cake this evening - oh well, guess it's not going to happen.
