Happy May Day

[jayem]

In most countries worldwide, May 1 is a holiday to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of workers. But In the US and Canada,, it's called Labor Day, and is the 1st Monday in September. I suppose we just go our own way.

A bit of unrelated trivia: The word "Mayday" is also a distress call used by pilots when their planes are in trouble. It came about as an English pronunciation of the French word "M' aider." Which means "Help me."

Happy Mayday to you. As a teen, I watched an unhealthy amount of air crash investigation TV shows, though I have always trusted in the safety of planes.
