All Play

At it again, our neighbors decided to “let Sven be Sven” which they interpreted to mean: the lazy SOB should get back to work like the rest of us schmucks. Hence the work I.D. badge that showed up on him last week. (We were still trying to figure out the meaning, when he abruptly changed before we snapped a picture!)



"With the approach of Cinco de Mayo, Sven couldn’t stand it any more. He is a Party Animal at heart... at heart wood, that is..."



A much more festive Sven...


"The mariachi hat and necklaces in the colors of Mexico’s flag are obvious. The gun is because in Mexico, the 5th of May is actually a minor local holiday to celebrate an 1862 military victory. In the U.S., however, the day has morphed into a celebration of Hispanic/Mexican heritage -- and much like St. Patrick’s Day, which is not a big holiday in its country of origin, this has become for some people (and Sven) an excuse to drink. Hence the beer (watch out for the chilis). Finally, the placards on the railing reflect Mexico’s Mayan heritage."



"What holidays are coming up? The world waits and wonders."

Thank you, D & A!
