There is still something special about a small town 4th of July, especially
when you grew up in a mega-metropolis like Los Angeles. I've just been
placed into a time machine and made a part of a Norman Rockwell painting.
Blaine Washington has two signals and a population of 2500, yet they come
from miles for the Main Street parade which is 2 houses away from my balcony.
The 6 block long parade lasts an hour and features soldiers, local schools,
fire trucks,
tractors, politicians, churches, and nearby businesses, plus lots of candy for
the kids.
It was a small town parade without big frills and glamour but lots of people
with real feelings
of celebration for this Country's birthday. I knew I was part of a scene that
was
being played out across the Nation in unknown places everywhere, and what great
memory to add to the list.
