Old Man's Beard Lichen

The dairy owners brought in cupcakes for Cinco de Mayo. About the only connection between the cupcakes and the holiday were that they were made of  chocolate -> the Aztecs gave us chocolate -> the Aztecs lived in an area that is present day Mexico -> Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday. However, one should never question free cupcakes and after milking 250 cows, I was famished.  The 5th of May celebrates Mexico's victory over the French in 1862.  The dairy owner mused that it seemed a strange thing to celebrate since about everyone has defeated the French at sometime.  (My apologies to any francophiles.)
