…on a Hot Fourth.

Parade route—lined with placeholders up to 24 hours in advance.

Supposedly, everyone loves a parade, but I know of at least one exception. However, if you like fire trucks and loud sirens….

We walked down to the end of the block and then sat on the porch of the currently unoccupied sorority on the corner, in the shade, on chairs.

And, for a later day outing, we headed to a known shady spot for some drone practice.

Meanwhile, in the entertainment category, we made it to the end of Whistable Pearl, understanding about 68% of the dialog. While we liked the female lead and loved her restaurant, the male lead, when he spoke (which wasn’t often), always did it with a mournful mumble. Maybe the best part of the series was the scenery, or perhaps the oysters.
We’ve moved on to the PBS series “My Mother And Other Strangers,” and find we not only like, but also understand 98% of it.
