Christmas Parade

We missed the Christmas Parade this year, because we were out of town that day. But our local programming channel videotaped it and aired it last Monday night. Since we were scheduled to go to a concert that evening, I recorded it on the DVR, and we watched it when we got back home.

It was a typical small-town parade, featuring a caravan of fire engines, ambulances, and tow trucks, along with convertible after convertible of beauty queens, antique cars, and horses and riders, as well as several nice floats, the Shriners on motor vehicles, and high school bands, including one led by a pep squad in flirty Santa costumes doing a Rockettes-type routine.

But in the midst of it all came something that surprised us, and that we've never seen in a parade before...a truck and trailer hauling portable toilets! Hm-m-m. I'm still trying to relate those to the spirit of Christmas. An outdoor potty for that hard-to-shop-for-person on your Christmas list, maybe?
