MAY DAY (May the first) is a different day for many ethnic or Nations. It has been a pagan day of celebration the longest because it is sort of closing the door of cool weather and opening the door for warmer weathers.
Some think of it as a Communist Holiday. I prefer to think of it as an international day honoring the working people of the world: the chicken pluckers, the cotton pickers, bean pickers, E1s & E2s in the military, and generally people lowest in the pecking order of things that are looked down at and make very little money. They need a day of honor too.

Last night on the news was a report of a new group in town. A group of alter-ego super heroes with masks and tights on like, well, maybe Superman or Spiderman – or maybe even a mysterious wrestler. They are to parade around in downtown Atlanta and fight crime or that is what they are hyped up to do. We’ll see.
I think they think when they see grab a purse snatcher in action and hit them a bit POW! or a other sound effect will fly out. I think if the crime breaker fights back with a long blade or a gun the super heroes will see just how fast they can run away from a crime scene.
On camera were about four or five super hero wannabes were walking, surrounding a cute little sexy mask female super hero. Were they are protecting her from evil – or just trying to cope a feel?
The news said these bunches of alto egoers are popping up in all the major cities. Crime is doomed.
I wouldn't doubt if between themselves they squabble over who has the biggest super heroes comic book collection and can cite trivia facts and adventures of their favorite super heroes without batting an eye.
I noticed there was one big oversize guy in red/orange tights that might strike fear in any wrong doer, but his tight orange jockey shape shorts were drooping…. Well, maybe the bad guy will die laughing.

Wait a minute. What happened to the law against wearing masks downtown? I guess it went the way of all the rest of the regulations that maintained law and order.
I missed that news feature -- we don't hear much from At-lanter down here in the flatlands. There was a home invasion in Al-benny yesterday, one of a series.
Nell,
You are right!
A mask arch villain could have a mask on just as well as a super hero.
Albany must be a nice town. I used to talk daily with a guy at the post office in Albany getting his figures for the day before... I think the guy's last name was Gonzales A very nice and easy going guy who would seem to do anything in the world for you.
