The best parade ever. Let Shadenfreude reign! Or rain as the case may be.
For the first time in fifty years, it poured on a Rose Bowl parade. Granted they did hold it on Monday the second rather than the traditional January 1st day and I'm sure that's what did them in. Sunday was a beautiful day. That will show those parade organizers not to mess around with tradition. (Okay the tradition is that the Parade is never held on Sunday so people can get to Church, but work with me here, people)
Thousands of drowned rats watched thousands more drowned particapants march down Colorado Blvd. Some of the kids had rain ponchos on, but there were several groups of flag girls that were in their off the should outfits. How do you march in a sodden wool outfit? How do you play your instrument as it's filling with water. Several of the floats even had to be towed.
I loved it. Next year I want a blizzard.
