On this date, a small force of Mexican revolutionaries held out unexpectedly against a superior French force. Let's party!
That sounded more sarcastic than I meant it to. It's a good excuse to drink and eat a lot of cheese! Just keep the comedy sombreros and oversized mustaches to a minimum (that is, none).

Maybe every 5th of May we should drink a toast to Alan Shepard, who on that day in 1961 became the first American in space.

Yeah, it was suborbital, up and down, because the only reliable rocket we had at that point was the Redstone that lacked the lift capability.  Glenn of course orbited two missions later.  I was all over the space program as a kid.

I was in 2nd grade when John Glenn orbited. We were at recess and looked up wondering if we might be able to see Friendship 7.

The more I read about various battles, the more I realize the apparent fact they have a huge random factor, with some exceptions.  Commanders are apt to make mistakes due to misinformation or assumption or just make mistakes because perhaps their brains are full.  The opponent might not be aware of the mistake and perhaps make their own mistakes, and randomly someone takes advantage of the gap created.

An interesting parallel.  We all see contested CFB games that hinged on a tipped pass, a missed block, and untimely penalty, a turnover, an injury, a slightly overthrown or dropped pass ... on such things hinge outcomes.  Then there is play calling, catching just the right play (or wrong) in a situation where it goes for a large gain.

A 7 point favorite will win MOST of the time, but lose about a third of the time, and folks are amazed at it.
