I bought some blankets yesterday at Northern Tool they had 2 for 14.99. There is also a Harbor Freight on Eureka in Southgate that sells them for about 10bucks a piece. You can also purchase them by the dozen at Truck N Tow on Schaeffer in Detroit. They also come out to about 10 bucks a piece and 3 guys can split the dozen up. I'm not sure what U-Haul charges.

In Laredo, they celebrate Washington's Birthday for an entire month, from mid-January to the end of February (it's happening right now, this very minute!), because, apparently, Washington did soooo much for Laredo and Tejas.

It is the largest celebration of its kind in the United States with approximately 400,000 people attending annually. Current and upcoming events of the celebration are all listed at the WBCA Website.

The celebration consists of various festivals; a Society of Martha Washington Colonial Pageant & Ball, Princess Pocahontas Pageant and Ball (because when you think Pocahontas, you think Laredo), parades (like, every day), a carnival, an air show, fireworks, live concerts and a city-wide prom during which many of the Laredo elite dress in Colonial attire. One of its main events, the Jalapeño Festival, has recently been named one of the United States' top 10 eating festivals.

It was founded in 1898 by the Improved Order or Red Men, Local Chapter Yaqui Tribe 59. The first celebration was a phenomenal success and its success and popularity grew rapidly. In 1924, the Celebration featured its first Colonial Pageant, which featured thirteen young girls from Laredo, representing the Thirteen Original Colonies, because, you know, they were of prime importance to the history of Texas. The WBCA has become a Laredo institution, with its history closely tied to the history of the community.

It's a fun time to be stuck down in Laredo for an extended period of time, actually. This coming Sunday is the big H-E-B Fireworks Extravaganza. Seen that one a few years ago from the J, and the next year saw it from much closer. It's awesome.
