Cinco de whato?

I looked up Cinco de Mayo and found that it is the day in 1862 when 4000 Mexican soldiers fought and defeated the French and a "traitorous" Mexican army (about 8000 strong) thereby keeping the French out of Mexico and possibly the US should they have been feeling empire-hungry.*
That's why we drink Corona and margaritas and eat guacamole on May 5th?
Ok.
Thanks, Mexico.

Anyway, I just enjoy writing 05/05/05. Wheee.

Today is the day that the new library shelving arrived and was mostly installed. My library is starting to look quite official and it is a gratifying sight. They finish the installation tomorrow and I can finally unpack the borrowed book carts and shelve the collection in its rightful place. A librarian's dream (and you thought it had something to do with taking down her bun, throwing off the glasses and crawling across the table toward a hot 25-year old).
