Cinco De Mayo...

So we are staying in Omakanogan for Cinco De Mayo much to my dismay. I really wanted to go to Spokane but we have too much to do and may be going elsewhere this month so gotta save the $$$.

I hear that the celebration here is a good one. I wonder if the hispanics actually enjoy celebrating something that is mostly for Americans(because Cinco De Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day like most think) or if they just do it for drunk anglos?

We will be attending the Farmer's Market/Cinco Celebration on Saturday followed by yardsaling and Costco I think. The trip to Costco takes most of an afternoon since it's 3+hours roundtrip to go to one.

More later....

Partyline....

So this area has a trade/sell/want ads type publication that comes out weekly. Today's edition contained an interesting Lost and Found ad.

"-Runaway Donkey, last seen on Spring Coulee Rd gong towards Salmon Creek at high lope, 826-1482 if you’ve seen it"

So I wonder how one would react to and exactly what does a runaway donkey look like? Is it actually running? Is there a reason it ran away from it's owner? Should I try to stop it? Do I call the cops if it looks "crazed"?

Many questions with no answers.
