Parade day!

It was “up and at ’em” Sunday a.m. making Greek omelettes for the “fish men” Richard (designer) wore a t-shirt that proclaimed “fish controll my brain” indeed. David’s said simply “CREW.” After shaking off cobwebs, and donning my white parade gloves- I was off to line up. Parade slated to begin at 1, my # 181 was scheduled for 10 a.m. I parked in line and took camera to capture as many photos as I could of cars within a few “Texas Blocks” of my car (will upload soon) Lovely vw bus in front of me (dedicated to peace) made it irrestible to offer them a bumpersticker. They chose one of my favories: “who would Jesus bomb?” Having forgotten my hat (doh) I was well on my way to a sunburn by the time parade began (close to 2) Well worth the wait however with what seemed to be record crowds in Houston. It was a terrifically hot and humid day which made it even more special that so many had chosen to come out and see the parade. I was directly behind “Freegle 2” which appeared to have some kind of issue which made it necessary for them all to jump out and pop the clutch to keep her going (which was done with enthusiasm an aplomb by the 1/2 dozen 30 somethings atop.) 1/2 way through the parade one of the crew jumped ship and sought the creature comforts of the bug and took over the waving from the front seat (and navigated us to the awards ceremony site.)
