I thought this was sad today. Long live the Highlanders and the Ghurkas!
It's also the 169th anniversary of the fall of the Alamo, during the battle for Texas Independence. Remember the Alamo, you mierditas! (Sorry, site may require registration.)
Ok, happy belated Texas Independence Day... yesterday has a little too busy for me to blog about this, so I'm doing this first thing this morning. Also, a happy belated birthday to Sam Houston, General of the Texian Army and first President of the new Republic of Texas! (I know, I know... he's dead, Dave.)
