And a happy May Day to you. Sounds like a good party. I'm making it a holiday, I'm off on my bike to an ancient burial mound to watch the clouds go by. But first, this here clip is Morris dancing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZjLATAUwao&feature=related It's the traditional May Day folk dance of Olde England. Maybe it's just me but there isn't too much sexy going on here.
