Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Saturday's annual St. Patrick's parade was a bit soggy: it sprinkled rain a little, becoming even more of a drizzle toward the end. There was a small but enthusiastic crowd, and they might still be partying at the terminus. There were lots of floats, with tons of beads and other throws. Many cheerleaders and marching bands came from distant schools, there were police cars and fire engines, bicycle units from the City Police, Sheriff, EMS, even the Constable had a bike patrol. The constable, police chief, and the bishop were there in person. Amazing, that a small neighborhood celebration has turned into a giant parade!
