The Veterans

Because of the veterans, all university functions are closed!

Also because of the veterans, I did not get to sleep in like most of Athens.

I guess by posting the drummer cartoon yesterday I was asking for it.

Living on the main street of a small, college town subjects you to all sorts of road blocks and events.

This morning it was the Veterans' Day parade. Girl scouts chanting "Veterans Day comes once a year, something something had no fear" were what really did it. The RVs, four-person marching bands and fire trucks came next.

With all the noise, I succumbed to getting out of bed. I found some pants and sat in the window next to my bed watching the veterans celebrate the one day a year dedicated to them.

I'm really OK by being woken up by the veterans, I mean they did "something something, had no fear."

I meant to take a picture of the parade from my window, but getting in and out of the window slot can be difficult.
