Born back ceasely into the past

So yes, Amherst did have a July 4 Parade yesterday.  Hundreds of parents, kids, grandparents, friends, family and their dogs descended on the South Amherst town common as they have for over 100 years to participate in the July 4 Children's Bicycle Parade, a grand neighborhood block party painted in red, white and blue.

And 30 years from now some of these children will bring their children, as the baton is passed...

That's what I'm talkin about!

The South Amherst bicycle parade—the greatest kid oriented event a parent could ask for—has been happening every July 4’th for twice as long as I have been alive. And like today’s installment, it always gets a great turnout. And amazingly, no war protestors.
