For Monday May 5, 2014, around 6:00 p.m.: Today is Cinco de Mayo, a popular holiday in Mexico and the United States, that was started by Mexican-Americans in the American West to champion the cause of freedom during the early years of the American Civil War. It commemorates the Battle of the Puebla, where the Mexican Army, lead by Ignacio Zarzoga Seguin defeated the French forces of Napoleon III.

I decide to celebrate by going to one of the many Mexican restaurants here in San Francisco. I take a quick shower in my office, and put on my White Peasant Blouse (from Victoria's Secret) my Summer Fun Skirt (a pull-on elastic, A-line skirt with lots of ""swing."" Coral (Bright Red) from Soft Surroundings) my Red NuFoot Women's Ballet Barefoot Slippers, and my Men's Rosary Style Necklace (from JC Penny). I pick up my purse, and my 20x69 inches Hunter Green Men's Dakota Scarf, putting it on like a shawl. I leave my office, being very sure to close and lock the door as I go.

I get in my unmarked ACME police vehicle, and go to Tropiseuno at 75 Yerba Lane, avoiding all the crowds on the street in the Mission St. area. This is the first time I have been to this restaurant. But during the daytime, it is a very casual Mexican eatery. But at night, it is a warm, yet very formal full-service restaurant. A hostess comes over and shows me to a table.

She hands me a menu. A waitress comes out. She says,""I am your Server. May I take your order?""
I decide to have Nachos (warm, thin chips, with grilled marinated steak (my choice) beans, melted cheese pico de gello, crema, and guacamole). Even though it a very busy night, Imy food. I enjoy my food. It's been a long time since I had some really good nachos!!


Everything seems uneventful, until my Server comes back to my table a little bit later. She asks me,""How was your food? Is there anything else that I can get you?""
""Yes, It was very good. No, there's there's nothing else that I want now, except to pay for my food."" As I reach into my purse, to take out a major credit card, my Server says,""Oh, no, you don't have to do that. Someone has taken care of it for you.""
I look at the check, and there is a note with it that says,""I'm glad you got out and had a little fun tonight. See you next crime, Agent Justice."" ;)


I say to my Server,""Did you see the person who left this for me? !!""
My server says,""No.""
As I jump up from the table, I leave one of my ACME business cards on it. I run out of the restaurant.
I look everywhere. But once again, The Elusive Carmen Sandiego has just vanished into thin air!!
I say to myself,""Uggghhh!! How does she always do that? !!"" :)

    Did you know....the horns on the viking's helmets are a myth? The popular image of the "horned Viking" can be traced back to the 1870s. Costume designer Carl Emil Doepler created horned helmets for Richard Wagner’s opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen to enhance the characters' theatrical presence. (I BELIEVE in the Where in Time game, they tell us this too....)

    As if they were friends, Lucy, Barbie is created on March 9, 1959, for Mattel, while Carmen is created on March 1, 1985, for Broderbund Software.

    However, I've found it something with a software company called SoftKey International in which they did trade name the Learning Company after taking it over in 1995 and made a worst deal with Mattel in 1999.
