Seeing Steve’s pictures of Mendocino reminded me of the 4th of July, 2019 parade we watched there. It was a great old fashioned small town parade with floats, fire trucks, and just about every civic group represented.

Nice pics. I almost feel like I got to go to a parade! So nice to see some small town normal.

Scott, I apologize for not noticing your post until now. It’s a pleasure to see the parade (without the hassle). It’s been years since I’ve gone to see it. These days I just hole up and wait for the tourists to go away. It really is a fun, old fashioned, small town event, and the participants are there simply to have fun, instead of to display their fancy, purchased decorations on expensive vehicles or houses. We used to have standard poodles, and one year my wife walked the two we had at the time on a double harness along with several other women with their poodles. It’s clear I’ve become too much of a curmudgeon and recluse.
