I somehow managed to miss all the parades yesterday. I think it was because I made a point of avoiding them. Not that I don’t love a good parade (the tramping of feet, the blare of a horn, a bright uniform). Back when we had our own air force of A4s and then F16s, they used to fly over all the parades, but I guess now that we’re the Reaper drone HQ, they don’t do that anymore. Maybe they save the drones for flying over wedding parties.

Now that Memorial Day is over, I guess it’s officially un-officially summer, and it’s supposed to be only the second 90+ degree day in a year (this date last year, in fact, it was 92° here). At this moment, I’m extremely glad that I decided to take today off. Oh, sure, tomorrow will be a tough one, but at least it’ll only be a three-day week.

Of course today won’t be all fun and games. There will be lots of laundry, grass cutting, and weed whacking. And some floating in the pool. It’s just too bad that the chlorine seems to be turning my hair white.
