Best side-benefit of my new job at the thrift store, so far:
in the Church parking lot across the street is a food truck taqueria named for Victor Hugo.
"Best Mexican Tacos in Town", it reads, and they are sooo good: made to order on the grill, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro and thinly sliced radishes--and only $2.50 each.
I went for veggie tacos and horchata before my orientation shift yesterday; while I waited I sketched the character painted on the truck:
They provide no info about Victor Hugo, and one online comment said, "named for the author of Hunchback of Notre Dame for no reason..."
It's like Google doesn't exist, for some people.
Poor Hugo, remembered for his Disneyfication. Though now I'm curious to watch the Disney Hunchback, based on some Tumblr confessions.
Of course there's also this sort of thing.
Hugo was outraged at his country's actions, and he wrote:

Well, I'll just have to watch the movie and see if Christianity comes off better than you'd expect.
I did not know the connection between Hugo & Cinco de Mayo. Here's a bit from the letter Hugo wrote after France invaded Mexico (because President Benito
Juarez had declared a moratorium on foreign debt payments). Hugo was outraged at his country's actions, and he wrote:
Resist they did--the Mexican army defeating the French army on May 5, 1862. The battle is celebrated in Mexico locally around Puebla but nationally in the United States every Fifth of May.People of Puebla
You are right in believing that I am with you
It is not France making war on you. It is the empire.
I am with you. You and I battle the empire. You in your homeland. I in exile.
Fight on, battle and be terrible, and if you think that my name can somewhat help you, use it. Aim at that man's head with the bullets of freedom.
Brave men of Mexico. Resist.
