Parade DayThe preparations for the annual fire department fund-raiser are marginally less crazy this year, because our friend/neighbor/assistant chief is skipping his usual parade float. He sold his trailer a few months ago, and besides the parade has been going on for nine years and has attracted quite a few participants. None of them are quite as enthusiastic as our friend, of course, who in recent years has built a giant crawdad, a pirate ship, a Jimmy Buffet beach bar, and (last year) a flying saucer. We did have fun with the costumes, and even more with the Star Trek and Outer Limits music, but I'm just as glad not to be jamming the considerable painting work into this last few days before the festival starts on Friday. All I had to do this year was repaint the dates onto the festival signs.
