Nope.
 
Happy May 1st.

2009 is about 1/3 over.
 
I suppose I am celebrating it right by working?

Today is also "Day Without A Mexican". I didn't notice any difference though. :-/
 
I wonder what will happen to Cinco De Mayo celebrations? Although the flu scare seems to be petering out.

Apparently the local health authorities told the May Day Protesters that they were ok to gather without concern.

I've noticed a lot of advertising for Cinco De Mayo events here...no shortage of Corona or Cuervo (well - maye there is a Cuervo shortage?).
