A lot of people like my history stories and since it is May 5th here, I present this explanation of a story most don't know.

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.

This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.

The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.

The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, Sinko de Mayo.
@TheDawg - might take up deep seas submersible piloting to acquire this lost mayo.

I forgot to lock up my chickens last night. Thank God nobody found them, they would have made easy targets over night. They are enjoying the extra early free ranging time
Same! I was greeted by the geese in the front yard this morning. lol
 
Got a bit of outside stuff accomplished so far today. Cut a bunch of saplings in the pig pen area.

Also got both driveways sprayed for weeds. Once I get the kids down for a nap I'm going to make a pumpkin pie. We're going over to a friend's house for supper.
