Subject: Re: Happy Friyay Cinco de Mayo by GRIS on 2023/5/5 13:49:48 HI LETTY, GLAD IT ALL WENT WELL AND YOU'RE FEELING GOOD. HOPE THEY TURN YOU LOOSE SOON. CLOUDY AND 62 HERE, 76 THE PREDICTED HIGH. RAIN SEEM TO BE OVER, HAVE NOT LOOKED AT THE RAIN GAUGE YET, RAINED OFF AND ON ALL DAY YESTERDAY. WHEN/IF THE ROADS DRY OFF I'LL HEAD EAST AND GET DINOSAUR BONES FOR TROUBLE. HISTORY: THIS DAY IN 1862, AT PUEBLA , A RAG-TAG MEXICAN ARMY FOUGHT OFF THE BEST FRANCE COULD THROW AT THEM. THEY SAY IT'S A BIGGER DEAL HERE THAN IN MEXICO, MAYBE BECAUSE THE MEXICAN COMMANDER WAS A TEJANO? BACK STORY: THE FRENCH EMPEROR, LOUIS THOUGHT-HE-WAS NAPOLEON, NOTICED THE NORTE AMERICANOS WERE BUSY KILLING ONE ANOTHER AND DECIDED TO ANNEX MEXICO AND INSTALL AN OUT OF WORK AUSTRIAN ARCH-DUKE AS SUB-EMPEROR. IT DIDN'T TURN OUT WELL FOR HIM. |
