Good to know, if I ever do get the chance to be in another one, I won't be so surprised when they make me sit there and wait. Thanks for the info.Max Sartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07271198231897203659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313795221042048302.post-11149611318087044672010-07-15T08:03:04.924-06:002010-07-15T08:03:04.924-06:00Good thing you had gas in the tank when this littl...Good thing you had gas in the tank when this little emergency (fun emergency) arose. <br />Looks like you had a blast. Good times.<br />I am jealous, however, that you could just park your car in the parade line up and then go out to breakfast. I have been in many a parade in many a country (although never the coveted 24th of July parade), and from Bountiful to China, they all require what my dance groups refer to as "hurry up and wait." You race to be there by the designated time and then stand in place as long as 3 hours before the parade begins. Even once when I rode on a float (while dressed in a Russian costume, of course -- this was the Bountiful 23rd of July parade), I still had to stay put for the whole time. Hence, you are truly lucky that you could park the car in line and leave.<br />Thanks for putting this in -- even if it is a bit late.A Paperback Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155962941590663738noreply@blogger.com
