back from the parade

it was great, as usual....high-lights this time in my opinion would be the Corsa Club for one thing....never seen so many Corsas and regular Corvairs at once before....there was even a Corvair powered Chevy Greenwood van bringing up the rear of that parade unit....I remember WB wanted a Greenwood, before he bought the VW bus.....the other new thing this year was those Shriners doing the precision go-kart drill, that was trick.....and of course the hillbilly jalopies are a fan favorite.....one jalopy this year had a guy standing on the front running board with one flap of the hood open, adjusting the carb as they went down the street.....the hillbilly Santa was a nice touch....and lots of church and civic groups throwing candy to the kids along the street....I even picked up a Mary Jane....somebody there had a dog with them that was going nuts snarfing down candies, wrapper and all......anyway, I came back to the house and fixed myself a grilled swiss on wheat with fried baloney.....Carolina plays Auburn for the SEC Championship today at 4.....if the Gamecocks win, it will probably be declared a national holiday in SC tomorrow.....it's clouding up pretty good now, a front coming this afternoon....
