    Uhm, I guess it's one of those things people feel compelled to show, but every year? Try for some diversity in reporting. It's like those kittens. There's a punctuality to it. Not saying don't report it. But picture of the day? There has to be something more interesting/newsworthy than a predictable event.

    It is a bit different. They are all one year older now like those cats.

    This "dezomeshiki" has been held every year since the Edo period for the last 350 years.

    Wow! They look amazing! I am always amazed by the local fire Brigade's demonstration.?5 These guys really keep themselves in tip top shape and if I may comment, very easy on a lady's eyes!

    I have absolute and total respect for these men and women who willingly put their lives on the line for others.

    The Truth Matters

    I don't know why, but the Village People's "YMCA" popped in my head when I looked at the picture. Must be all the poses.
