As mentioned in the previous post, it’s funny how everyone becomes Mexican on Cinco de Mayo. That brings me to my next point where everyone becomes Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. Why is that? Not only for these 2 holidays, but during others as well. The fourth of July, Independence Day, everyone suddenly becomes patriotic and shows displays it by blowing up fireworks and barbequing and getting loaded. How patriotic is that? We’re in Illinois where fireworks are illegal and somehow nobody cares. Personally, I get annoyed especially when it goes through the night and I have my windows open. I don’t want to overrun the air conditioning unit so I’ll give it a break at night only to be disturbed by the fireworks and the car alarms which it set off.
