To: DieHard the Hunter

Your usual great job, Thanks.

As for names,
I worked for Texas Instruments when I got out of college.
We were making up a team for their softball league. But we needed a name within ten minutes or we’d be left out.
Of 12 people on the team everyone came up with lame names and I finally said how about the Mexicali Blues.
No one vetoed it so that was it.
We were terrible and got beat every time out and finally someone asked about the name.
The next game we were having a bar-b-que and I told them I’d reveal where the name came from.
Greatful dead song about a guy from Bakersfield Cal. who goes to Mexicali and gets a bottle of Tequila and a young hooker and goes and gets a case of the “Mexicali Bluse”.
All these stoogie engineers came to the understanding that our team was named after a case of the clap.
You take care DieHard.
