Mayday! May Day!

So yesterday was the big "May Day" march when the nation's illegal immigrants and their supporters decided to show their support for the country they deeply love and respect by trying to shut down the businesses that keep it running. Ok, that could be a bit harsh, but you get the point. The point being that they consider themselves a valuable part of the economy and wanted to "show us" what would happen if we sent them all away. (To be truly effective though, what should have also happened on May Day was that the IRS showed up at my front door with a refund check for money that they "no longer needed".)

Ow. Bitter.

Anyway, we were sitting in the office yesterday trying to figure out what to do for lunch, and hearing the word "Mexican" about 1000 times on the news all morning made me hanker for a fajita. I suggested we go to "Azteca" a Mexican restaurant. We then bemused that maybe we wouldn't get service because no one showed up to work. Now we HAD TO GO.

So Rollie and I trudged down to a packed restaurant. The service was great and so was the food. It looked and tasted like everyone showed up for work.

When we returned to the office we heard some chatter from others who went out for lunch. Wendy's had to close their dining room because the staff didn't show. Chili's had horrible service because "half of their staff didn't show up".

It seemed a very strange turn of events. That's what I get for racial profiling.
