May Day Greetings!

May 1st, 2004

I’ll keep it short, as I don’t think I have anything in particular to say this time around about the history of the holiday, etc., after my various posts last time around, and there are other bloggers who have managed more detailed posts than I’m going to manage today.

(To the EU, that is.)
