Happy Wednesday Friends!
Well, the 2025 Rodeo Parade is in the books. Unfortunately not as good as last year. Mostly large vehicles with a sign on the side indicating a business in town. Pretty lame. Last year we had a lot of decorated floats.
Here is one that is always a hit. The Shriners of our town. They spray water on the crowd, usually hits the kids with a light spray.

Eventually the mother cannot carry them any longer and refuses re-entry. Basically forces them to get out and walk.
The kids would love the water spray in summer.
-2˚C < 15˚C here today.

Rich, it looks like the rodeo was well attended by spectators.
The Tae Kwon Do sign brought back memories of my last term on campus in my long ago college years. I advanced a red belt (the sequence then was white, green, red, and black). I needed maybe another year of training to reach black belt status, but after graduation real life intruded and I never got around to finding an instructor - one of my regrets from those early years.

Peter, they do, lots of fun for them! Your temps are like our mid to late fall temps.
Dave, street is always packed. They also throw what we used to call penny candy to the kids. Now they package the penny candy in a sack and charge 5 to 7 dollars for it. Little tootsie rolls, etc.
I am impressed by your ranking! My grandson's did that for a while but didn't make it out of the white belt stage. They weren't in it very long.
