Yesterday we watched a parade in Hopkins. There must have been 10 or so groups of shriners riding various machines around in circles and figure-eight type patterns. This differs from when I was a kid, where the parades I went to only had one group of shriners and they rode big motorcycles. The cops would come by and make everybody back up from the curb and then these guys in funny hats would go blasting up and down the street. This year, no cops, no hats, no blasting. Ok, maybe Keith was blasted, but that's about it.
