We went downtown today, had lunch, bought an ice cream cone and watched a parade. Veterans groups, high school ROTC groups, boy scouts, politicians, army trucks and fire engines. Do other countries have parades like this too?
Got the first coat of blue on the smaller bathroom and I have to say it is a nice bright blue without the vibrancy of the green in the other bathroom. Perfect. Coat two goes on tomorrow. I painted one coat of primer over the Vin Rouge paint of the bedroom in preparation for painting it a darker shade of blue. But first I’m going to paint the ceiling, which hasn’t been done in a while. Then all the trim will get slathered with the gloss white before the walls get covered in flat Ocean Cruise.
Started down, still down.

According to Wikipedia, at least two one other country celebrates Memorial Day (Canada – Newfoundland and Labrador).
And I recall the former USSR having parades to remember their war dead.
Did you get to drive the Miata in the parade? Oh how I covet your Miata (although I’m not sure my back could stand it)
The local Miata Club does one parade a year – the Ridge Peach Festival Parade in mid June. We used to do the Graniteville Christmas Parade, but the kids were to exited by the candy throwing and we were afraid of an accident.
I don’t know the extend of your back issues, but most of the folks I know who are Miata owners are aging baby boomers or older and the aches and pains go away behind the wheel of a Miatas. The car can work as a time machine that way (until you have to get back out.)
