3. Hey!

Sounds like a plan!

BTW, I just found out that Cinco De Mayo is not celebrated in Mexico as it is in the US. I just learned the entire history of that holiday. Pretty fascinating, and shameful that I didn't know this history until a few days ago.

A Mexican friend was just explaining that to me last night. Schools are closed, though, and there are barbecues.

Wes just can't stop raising bucks for the Dems :)

9. Is there going to be anyone there with a video camera?

That's what I want to know. I'd love to be able to see this. Even just an audio would be great.

10. I'm too broke and Hobbs is too far away (5 hours by car)

or I'd be there now.

I'll monitor the 10:00 news to see if there's any coverage, and report if there is.

But right now? I'm goin to the market for cheeps, salsa & Carta Blanca.

QUE VIVA EL CINCO DE MAYO!!
