Happy Fourth everyone. I just got back from the famous Round Pond Parade (the most irreverent one in the state). Anyone with anything to say, just joins in. Best ones this year (besides the Tacky Tourists and their Lawn Chair Brigade), was the one truck pulling a lobster boat bound for "Brokeback Harbor," with 4 gorgeous lobstermen in foul weather gear and nothing else, with such signs as "A HARD sternman is good to find," "Wanted: Master Baiter, no experience necessary," and "If the Bait Shack is rockin', Don't come a knockin, etc.'" And the ones of Dick Cheney the duck hunter, with the two dead lawyers in the grass, and the Big Brother is watching, with a fake satellite dish, telephone operators eavesdropping, and cameras recording everything.
Anyway, you get the idea.
On a side note, some people from my lighthouse group were there, and in the course of conversation my husband mentioned something about me being on halloween sites looking up stuff, and I said, yeah, that's my second love. The fellow I was talking with asked if I live on such and such a road, and is that my halloween display? I said yea, guilty as charged, and he said he'd stoppend and taken many pictures, and hadn't a clue it was my place. When his wife came back with some snacks, he couldn't wait to tell her I'm the one with the roadside display. So you see, you can even have Halloween on the Fourth.
