A-yuh it's May alright.  That's all I've got on the matter.

On the subject of Baltimore, please read this interview with The Wire creator David Simon, and this other piece written about Ferguson which explains the current situation in Baltimore better than most of the current reporting.  Perhaps most importantly, share these perspectives with anyone who asks questions like, "Why do they burn down their own neighborhood?"
