The Passing Parade and Hollow Patriotism
Jul. 5th, 2023 01:54 pmBy the time that Lisa and I took our place on the viewing stand our porch, parade entries had been staged back past our house.

After the parade had moved on an later, after people came back and removed their vehicles, I went out front to clean up the debris they'd left behind, mostly in the form of loose tinsel. I also found evidence of what I call "hollow patriotism."
( All Style, No Substance )
Actually, there was not a whole lot of junk left behind, for which I'm grateful. As I mentioned, we've left the posts in place but removed the wire. We did not want someone walking into the wire accidentally, and besides, it would probably have blown down eventually anyway.
There are about 40 photos total from the parade. As usual, you can click through to see the rest of them in Flickr.
