As you can see by the man with an umbrella at the end of my driveway, it started out a bit drippy for today’s parade. I think the parade was for the beginning of football season. Maybe the parents are ready to celebrate the kids going back to school.
Of course, I had to record the band. They were very sensible to wear black shorts and blacks t-shirts on a muggy day. I remember wearing red wool uniforms even in the summer.
The politicians were out. The next picture is the mayor of this little community. We won’t mention the FBI investigation of pornography found on his computer (left by the former mayor?) or the fact that he threatened a tailgater with a ball bat (dismissed when the police officer didn’t show up in court). We may be small but we have our dramas.
The misty drip let up and just kept things comfortable for the rest of the parade which included truckloads of cheerleaders and football players of all sizes. Even some soccer players and shriners driving in circles. I even got to wave at my representative to the House of Representatives in Washington.
After the quiet of the Memorial Day parade the sirens were given free reign today. I loved it. Turn up the sound and enjoy the noise.
Of course, the dogs didn’t care for any of it. I offered to let them out on the front porch but they declined. Maybe they will go out in the back yard….
Later….
