Our Fourth of July parade was on the third this year. It was filled with all kinds of law enforcement, fire trucks, tractors, horses, veterans, politicians, and pickup truck loads of the summer league softball teams. As always, the parade moved in fits and starts, and some of the softball teams were paused in front of my store for about 15 minutes. It was plenty of time for the various pickup loads to get into a water fight. The boys’ teams were prepared with Super Soakers, and what looked like planned tactics. The girls had to improvise with bottles of COLD water from their ice chests, and deviousness. Spectators enjoyed the overspray.

I think they’re saving the fireworks for tomorrow.
