A golden day in TC paradise. Gecko/Exotica #62 arrives minutes after a colbalt blue Hale Tiki mug is delivered. On this date it seems appropriate to remember those people who waited patiently for a very different shipment that never arrived.
In 1912, 10,000 cases of mayonnaise were loaded in the cargo hold of a ship in England bound for Vera Cruz Mexico. That ship was the Titanic!
The shipment, obviously never made it and the condiment starved Mexican people were devastated. A national day of mourning was declared and to this day the great tragedy is
observed still. It is, of course, known as Sinko de Mayo.
