4th of July Parade 2019 - A House Undivided

A small town parade on a humid day.  The timing was perfect, rain just before and just afterwards.  The usual array of floats, fire trucks, marching groups of Girl Scouts.  Politicians?  None.  Any candy being passed out, and there was a bunch, was entirely altruistic.  A few images of the event.

 Directly across from us were a middle aged white guy and a middle aged black guy.  Some sort of in laws I figure.  They chatted in a companionable fashion then together stood up when the colors came past at the start of the parade.  They both doffed their caps but the black guy was a little quicker on the draw.

I don't think that is Diet Pepsi in the can.

A bare chested Z-Z Top interpretation of Uncle Sam.

I'm not sure what the fuss was about tanks in the Washington DC parade.  Here we had a tracked fire fighting vehicle that looked much the same....and it had a very enthusiastic elderly woman spraying the hot, humid crowd with water!

May you enjoy the 4th along with your neighbors and family.

    If you want to see patriotism, go to America's small towns.
