Just to remind--and ask

[Mark Kohut]

Cinco de Maya day. 
 
As far away as the island of Malta, in the Mediterranean Sea, revelers are encouraged to drink Mexican beer on May 5.[27]

Oh no, it's not paranoid at all—it's Gnostic.

W-w-w-w-we all seem to be dreaming the same dream, this afternoon of between the 4th and the 5th of May, the daylight hours of that unaccountable day, the next day, the one that was going to be as they say another day . . .

Some how we all remember being in that room in that elementary school over in the San Joaquin Valley, the classroom with the broken clock stuck on some hour that it could not possibly be.

Uh . . .

Don't we?
