I have an incredibly stupid question(please bear with me): Why is the May reference repeated here? Why wouldn't
May 2nd --
the janitor sweeps up
confetti
work just as well?
aurora - it's not a stupid question at all. In fact I had thought that "May Day" would normally be superfluous, except for the "Day Without Immigrants" marches across the country on May 1st. My thinking was that our janitor had protested on the 1st, and then cleaned up after the same protest on the 2nd. I guess if you have to explain it, it didn't work. Sorry...
Actually, this dawned on me later on. It makes perfect sense. Thanks.
