Cinco de mayo revisited.

May 5, Monterey.

Today is Cinco de Mayo, a national holiday for Mexicans and an unfortunate reminder of the national embarrassment called Napoleon and his sires for my fellow Frenchmen and women (OK, so he did establish a uniform metric system and code of law, the Code Napoleon, which is still in use to this day, but on the whole, as a friend said, the only thing really intelligent he did in his life was die.)
