I liked all the environmental and social activist themes, and the way there weren't any signs so you had to just figure out what the metaphors were. I forgot that you lived in that part of the world! I tend to think of bloggers as living inside my computer.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-68027505435296615672015-07-11T00:09:20.342-04:002015-07-11T00:09:20.342-04:00Hey, my band performed in that parade!

We're the <a href="http://rainbowcityband.com" rel="nofollow"></a> band, but probably the most conservative group in that parade.<br /><br />And the "bluest skies" line is Perry Como, in a song published in conjunction with the 1962 world's fair (I wasn't here, didn't move here until 1974)<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed it!Philhttp://perilsofcaffeineintheevening.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-27522000894203470172015-06-26T09:34:53.387-04:002015-06-26T09:34:53.387-04:00I am just imagining this happening here in NW Arka...I am just imagining this happening here in NW Arkansas. <br /><br />The hysteria!

They rented the bikes, but when it was time to return them the place refused to take back the seats.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-59495367745519179592015-06-21T20:43:07.653-04:002015-06-21T20:43:07.653-04:00Gail: Ha!

Then again, many seemed to ride standing up, just coasting along.<br /><br />That would actually be my hesitation for participating -- I'm not at all experienced with urban bike riding. I would have to go really slow.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-86884987664264324582015-06-21T20:07:49.797-04:002015-06-21T20:07:49.797-04:00I love this.
