Mayday ---to celebrate
May and June are my favorite months. Mayday is possibly my favorite holiday. To me it's a happier Valentines Day: all about delivering dixie cups (with pipe-cleaner handles) full of candy and little hand-picked violets to your grade school sweethearts.
And it's just the kick off of my game, you know? To this day.
No time to scribe tonight. I did take some pictures downtown today and posted them with some snarky commentary here, if you like. It was fun, but a tad political, as Mayday is liable to be sometimes.
Thanks for dropping by.

Ah yes, Dixie Cups with pipe cleaner handles. Very nice memory
Must be a flyover country thing!
We did Maypole dances and had a dance festival at the elementary school.
Then went home to watch the scary commies in Russia trot out all their deadly weapons. Ah the good ole days.
I was so used to that, being born in '61, it didn't scare me at all. They were kind of awesome for having beat the Nazis, I thought.
My folks didn't talk about the cuban missle crisis, not at the time, not five years later when I was becoming aware. They did talk about the assassination of course...
(Spent a few years of the Vietnamese War thinking we were fighting the Germans, btw...We either had bad reception or were watching Victory at Sea.)
