Cinco de Mayo and Boy's Day

1) This day in 1862, the Mexican army defeated the French invaders in Puebla.

The French invaded because Mexico owed money. The French thought it would easy to invade Mexico. They were wrong.

The Mexicans celebrate this day as Cinco de Mayo (5th of May).

If I had more $$$, I'd celebrate lavishly.

2) In Japanese culture, today is Boy's Day. (The girls already had their day on March 3)

3) Being that I am part Mexican, and a male, I deserve special treatment all day today :)
