I have posted a page of pictures from the Groton Parade, which you can access at the link on the upper right hand side of the homepage.
Sad to say, good parades are among the many indirect victims of television. Since people do not have to look to other folks in their community for entertainment anymore, institutions like community bands and fife and drum corps are a thing of the past. I’m personally uninspired by a parade consisting mainly of motor vehicles (e.g., modern fire trucks, police cars, ambulances, and even latter day Mustangs), and advertisements for local businesses or religions.
Be that as it may, I was there to show support for our very own Groton Federation of Democratic Women, which personed a float (well, I can’t say “manned”, can I?)trumpeting the achievements of the Democratic Party, as you can see here by clicking on the picture and enlarging it.
That’s it for me for the Fourth. I’m taking the rest of the day off. I was going to complain about the New York Times’ ludicrous story about the legal implications of the crime Bush committed Monday, but I’m not going to ruin the rest of my day by thinking about it.
