I've never been to a big parade, only our little locals ones. I am sure I could have seen big parades, when I lived near Chicago, Indianapolis and Denver, but I guess I wasn't interested.
I took my son to parades when he was younger, but now that he is almost grown and doesn't care anymore, I certainly don't go. Crowds of people are not at all my thing, and the weather here is almost always lousy.
I remember watching parades on TV with my parents when I was a small child, I was fascinated by the huge balloons. But I haven't watched one on TV in decades.
So, I guess I'm the exception to "Everyone Loves A Parade".
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
