Didn't Rain on Our Parade

Although Lord knows it tried. The start time was shifted by 30 minutes, and once things got really rolling, the rain stopped and the sun came out.

Here, have our local Zydeco Cowboys:

Aww, that looks like fun. :D

We have a lovely parade, if I do say so myself. The Mr. describes it as "your typical small town 4th of July parade — if your small town happens to be Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco." In addition to the cowboyz and cowgirlz, we had youth organizations (everything from daycare centers to Explorer posts to swim teams to Scouts), a Bolivian dance troupe, a dog obedience school, the 9/11 Truthers (having a very hard sell, as usual ... many of us work for Uncle Sam), local politicians and such in antique cars, boosters for the local effort to build a dog park, steel bands and folk-rock bands on trucks, and (new this year) Miss Maryland and Miss Virginia, striding along in fashionable summer dresses and 4-inch wedge sandals.

Oh man, are the 9/11 Truthers still going? I feel like they and the Birthers should just have a cage match and leave us all out of it.
