I don't drink anymore for Cinco de Mayo. I celebrate with Mexican food, or as it's known in Mexico: 'food.'
Craig Ferguson
FACTOID: Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day. It commemorates a victory against the French. Mexican Independence Day is September 16.

If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.

A quote from my favorite politician, former Mayor of NY City: Fiorello LaGuardia (The Little Flower)
There is no Democratic or Republican way of cleaning the streets.

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.

Aldo Leopold I crave dullness. Seriously...I thought maybe we'd get to dullness when Trump lost the election or when the 1/6 insurrection shocked the country out of delusions induced by indifference...but it didn't happen. |

I was thinking about lawn mowing, car washing, tree cutting, yard edging...
If Dante was writing The Divine Comedy in 2013, he might very well have set part of it in the suburbs.

A man builds a fine house; and now he has a master, and a task for life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson I spent two hours mowing my lawn. Seems the rain we've been having has helped the cause and made the &Y^*ing lawn just that much higher. Normally, I can do the front yard and only fill the grass bag once. This time it was three trips to the grass pile. Two hours and 1.6 batteries (VERY unusual) I am now in the house. Cleaned up. Currently enjoying some carbo replenishment therapy (AKA Beer). |

I spent two hours mowing my lawn. We've done quite a bit to remove our lawn and replace it with plant beds, a pond, moss, a tiny ground cover you can walk on and has yellow flowers in the spring, and wood chips. Guck frass. |
