Words of the Wise (July 1);Happy July

Sorry I'm late I missed Saturday, but we can just pretend that it's Saturday.

assuming it's Saturday;

Today is Canada day, so what did I do? I had a Canada, or something like it, I went to a parade. For those of you who don't know a parade is a massive jumble of color loud noise and people throwing candy at you. For your enjoyment I will try, to the best of my ability, to describe this thing called a parade.
It started by the Rent-a-Junk store, and headed down 6th (I don't memorize the names, it hurts my head). Taking the lead I think was like a big fire truck with the mayor or maybe George Powell, somebody famous. After that things got more colorful with The Senior's Olympic Games Bus, there was this lady sitting next to me who yelled with pride that her grandma could take out all them after she said it an elderly man stepped off the float and wresled her to the ground then casually walked back to the float. After the violence was over we were given a real treat; a Marching Band, who apparently used for there float the same decorator who does most maximum security prisons. When you think about it though they are a marching band not marching interior decorators, this however brings me to the next part of the great parade The Marching Interior Decorators who were quite nicely dressed. Next came the proud, well you know, Club, who's bus driver could not shut up really she kept blowing the horn like she was a New Yorker in a traffic jam.
After most of the real floats had passed we were subjected to the "this town supports every group" floats, Nobody Cares About Us, Computer Novice Annoumous, Nobody Cares About Us Did Not Even Care About Us and all the other groups nobody cares about, most people walked on to catch up with the Seniours Olimpic Games Bus or fell asleep. After the parade, the bars filled like children in a mud puddle (they were a hot comoty), and I think everybody got Monday off because they are still sleeping it off. (It may be the sound of the marching band or the drinks).

Well all in all it was a truly great Canada Day. Now I set my eyes ahead to the American holiday called the 4th of July, I am celebrating all holidays this year in honor of each country's unique struggle, and I like to party. But you know what they say, after Canada and the 4th, don't forget Bastille Day!
