My day is complete…

Today is New Year’s Day, which means the Rose Parade here in Pasadena.
And my two most favorite things to see at the parade are:
- The look on the face of the kid who just marched 5 miles carrying a Sousaphone;
- Seeing a broken-down float getting towed away.
And what’s up with that ‘chin strap across the nose’ thing?
Anyway, my day was complete very early on. After that, we headed back home to see the horses. Along the way, we saw the band kids all sitting and chowing down on In-N-Out burgers. For some reason, I find that amusing, too.
We went to the parking lot where they had most of the horse trailers. Lucinda and her friend got to pet and feed carrots to the horses. While they were doing that, I watched a guy practice rope tricks, and I also got to see Miss California Rodeo.
When we went back home, we were treated to the always-surreal sight of horses grazing on suburban lawns, and people riding past our house.
It was a fun day.
