May Day

May 1st is Labor Day for most of the rest of the world. The US will celebrate it on September 1 this year. One reason we don't celebrate it with the rest of the world is political. The communists basically co-opted the day long ago and turned it into a day for pro-communit parades and propaganda.

Much of Western Europe and parts of Asia adopted May 1 as its labor day due to the efforts of the socialists parties in those countries.

Today, most of the people who are celebrating May 1 as labor day think about politics and what this day symbolizes about as much as Americans think about politics and what September 1 symbolizes when we celebrate our labor day. There will be some politics but most people are more concerned about getting away for the long weekend and will be on the road or at friends house or hosting a BBQ for friends.

That is your political and historical trivia for the day.

For those of us living in the Western United States, good news on the snow pack. The Colorado River will start to refill this year which is good.
