    From Jahmas #29@707.Wwivnet@11:1/101 to All on Sun Jul 5 06:44:07 2026

    Yesterday my wife and I drove out to Barnstable Village on Cape Cod to enjoy the local 4th of July Parade. Parking is an ordeal so I woke the wife at 6am so she could have her morning coffee and wake up time. We would leave the house about 8 to just travel a few miles and park just outside the village and hike in. Not a big trek, perhaps 10 minutes on foot. Well when we started walking, my wife says that she is still in wake up mode, she needs to have some quiet while getting acclimated and basically implied that I was not to speak :O I respected her AM wishes and after about five minutes she broke the silence and said, "How long are you growing your hair?" I looked at her directly and said something like, "I thought you wanted me to be quiet!" And then I got that "fuck you" look from her. Overall, it was a great parade! Kind of like Mayberry. We were up on a hill on the front lawn of the courthouse, under the shade of a giant tree, overlooking Main St. USA. Everything was perfect!

    That sounds really cool!

    We typically go to one of the parades in the early morning in Dundalk and then another in Bel Air. Very different parades, but my son loves them, so we go to both.

    This year it was just too hot to stay for the entire Bel Air parade. We ended up leaving about around 45 mins. It was just insanely hot - around 100 degrees and 120 heat index at the time. We have been having days over 100 with high humidity for 4 days in a row now.

    Fortunatly we had some t-storms yesterday evening to cool it off some.

    I've been there! Must have been a nice day.

    Fortunately for us, the city I live in holds a jubilee at the community center l iterally three short blocks away. Foods, live music, tons of games and events for the kids, and even a full (limited) bar. I didn't want to go, but Julie talked me into it, amd as soon as the cuntry music sweill started blaring from a radio station booth near the food trucks, I nearly bolted but we were able to escape that assault on our senses and relaxed to a pretty good general 80's rockcover
    band

    Fond memories of Bel Air. Used to be one grocery store (Acme) there and none other than the commisary on the Arsenal or Proving Ground. Bel Air businesses would close on Wednesday (town ordinance?). Took my driver's license test there. One neat furniture store "Beshores" where us "hippy kids" could buy musical instruments... guitars and amps, not to mention vinyl records. You were quite hot on the 4th. We got up to 94 so it was somewhat tolerable. Nice to have some rain now...

    Yes, it is great to have the rain and it to "cool down" until the 80s. :)
