Thankful

I’m sitting here watching the parade and thinking about the things I’m thankful for.  The most obvious this year and that I don’t take for granted by mentioning first is that Jo and I are together and that

Parade of Rednecks

So, it was pretty incredible.  First off, it was super-cold and Main St. was nothing but a massive breezeway.  The crowd was all there and it had all of the things you would expect.  Cub Scout troops, high school marching bands, and pageant queens.  Some of those were pretty questionable.  Even the little ones.
