#1 Obama called it 'Happy Cuatro de Cinco!'
Which then reminded me of Hendrix's old song "If 6 was 9".

Much like 4th of July, but without explosives.

#8 I guess I forgot to add that it's OK to have a drink once in a while. Well, every day if you like. I guess my real problem is I don't think too much of Corona beer. Pacifico either. Kinda flat and tasteless. Back in the 70's Dos Equis used to be pretty good but they changed the recipe somewhere along the line. I think these days Negro Modelo is the best. Margaritas are good if you have a good bartender.
