Primero de Mayo

Good olde May First.......For you 'young'ins' a day that does
not mean anything at all.......For those olde enough to
remember, every piece of marching 'film' footage shown on
the History Channel, showing armies and rockets was
taken in Russia, Cuba, (Communist) East Germany, during
their May (1st) Day Parades......

Yep us WWII generation and some of the 60's crowd do
remember the olde May Day Parades, which have disappeared
from the world scene, except in some odd ball places, after the
collapse of Soviet Russia and the Berlin Wall........

Seems that parades will be resurrected in the 'odd ball'
place of the United States, by some social groups trying to
advance their cause for illegal immigration reform,
this year......

Since times have changed, I will miss the tanks, field cannon
and the ballistic missiles in the parade route......Pumps
