If you said, "James Taylor, 1970," you get 10 bonus points. Arguably, his most well-known song.
The weather has been unsettled yesterday and today. More like thunder and rain here yesterday, with more of the same predicted today. I took Murphy out yesterday while there was some light rumbling in the sky - he did fine with it; didn't seem bothered by light sprinkles, either.
No, this isn't just a weather report. Overcast outside this morning when I took Murph out; without his leash, but just in our courtyard...
Just chillin'.
The main reason I picked a James Taylor song for the title: Joan and I are going to see him in concert tonight. We bought these tickets months ago; really looking forward to it.

In honor of the many celebrations today...
Most people don't know that back in 1912 Hellman'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 New York City.
The people of Mexico were crazy about the stuff. The Mexican people were eagerly awaiting delivery and were disconsolate at the loss. So much so that they declared a National Day of mourning which they still observe today. It is known, of course, as ... Sinko de Mayo.

[rimshot] Growing up in Michigan it was always Hellman's mayo. When we moved to the Left Coast it was suddenly Best Foods brand (west of the Rockies). Same product, different brand.
I get to use that joke once a year... pull it out and dust it off. Kinda like an artificial Christmas tree, but less set-up. And no "put away" time, other than having to apologize. ;-)
