sometimes I love my town

The sunshine is so bright today the police strobes don't bother me when I look out the window at the parade. This means I can watch the Patriots' Day parade.

After the marines went marching by, when the band was still going on about the halls of Montezuma and the shores of Tripoli, the Jedi and the storm troopers came through. I was looking down on their heads, which isn't a great way to gauge a costume, but I was impressed anyhow. I liked the storm trooper breaking formation to touch fists with the little storm trooper by the roadside. And the Jedi knight twirling two lightsabers like batons.

Off we go, into the wild blue yonder...
