I too remember May Day. We celebrated in elemertary school but not in the upper grades.
When the earthquake/sunami (not spelled right) hit Tieland (that does not look spelled right either) 5 years or so ago I heard on TV that the earth was shifted on the axses by less than a half inch, so I would think that would change our weather patterns. And the one in Japan should have caused the same kind of thing, don't you think? I have not heard any more on the axses thing so my thinking could be way off. Take care.
