May Day

Catching up after months away is a daunting task.  It's like, now that those months are past, were they important.  And if they were important, are they still important?  Important enough to document.  Doubtful.

But what about May Day?  Today is, of course, May Day, the first of May, international worker's day.   Taking the entire globe into account, perhaps many of those that can or will work, still do.  Perhaps somewhere a working class exists.  Perhaps honest workers somewhere are marching for this or that, or just for fun on a day off.

Not here though.  Even if there were any workers here,  they wouldn't celebrate today.

Interestingly,  May Day is also a pagan holiday.  Maybe some pagans are celebrating somewhere.  Maybe they too are having a March, skipping and jumping.  But not around here.

Many may know that May Day is one of those spring days that potentially features, in the northern hemisphere, the northward migration of Class Aves.  Well, not all of Class Aves.  Chickens mostly stay put. But part  of the great bird class migrates north and is doing so on this very May Day.  Y, a migratory bird could possibly pass over your head any time now.  Or maybe not.

Once upon a time, long ago, bird migration verification on May Day was easier.  That's because there were many more birds that migrated.  Way less chickens too.
