Yesterday was 16 de Septiembre, one of several Mexican Independence Days – not to be confused with Cinco de Mayo, for example. Each of these days is cause for parades, celebrations and the occasional killing in places like Houston and San Antonio.
Normally, I would just ignore it, but Mexico declared yesterday to be their 200th Anniversary, even though it was eleven years after the first el Grito before the first Spaniard got kicked out of Mexico.
So, Happy Birthday, Mexico.
