Veterans Day

Bobble-headed shriner not present at parade.

Today was Veterans Day and in front of my office building where there has been a constant stream of anti-war-in-Iraq protestors of late, there was a parade. JROTC to WWII vets, and vietnam broken-down helicopters, and a bouncing motorcycle, and Yaarab Temple clowns in a modified Winnebago, a team that marched in all the way from the North Georgia foothills, and during a smoke break from Marines.com I found myself hypnotized by it all, as did several other hundred that I believe could never have suspected what was going on outside and got similarly hooked into the whole thing. The whole world really does love a parade I guess. Even a Veterans Day parade.
