I do think it's unprofessional to have the announcer shouting out sponsors during the parade. Do that at the very start or end, if you must.

I didn't expect a full on Victory Day style parade, but I do agree this kinda looks sad. I'm not going to wet my pants over troops waving and smiling in a history themed parade but it does appear they've neglected drill in favor of trans rights and #metoo training. If there was more time to plan and put this together it could've been really good, but it's still better than the heaps of self loathing and WE WUZ we would've gotten with Kamala.

To break

Second hand information.

My boss came into the shop a few hours after I did. He takes a similar but different route than I do to get here.

According to him he saw some nokings protesters, "about a hundred", in a different location than where it was scheduled on the map

To break up the discussion of the parade, had a customer come into the story. Gray haired older skinny white lady. She mentioned in passing she was a protester.

According to her, there was a signficant turnout at the city hall protest, at least 700 by her counting. She noted it was a surprisingly large amount for this city.

She also mentioned her local democrat organization have a lot of members from a local (Unitarian?) church, and that church heavily promoted the nokings protest.

I honestly might take a slight detour on the way home to see what the aftermath looks like.

This parade is kinda wack to be frank, not a big fan of the generic rock theyre playing, makes it seem cheap, Id think they could play Battle Hymn of the Republic or some revolutionary orchestral music or something. Also the way our men are trained to march just doesnt really look all that impressive. The whole thing looks about as lively as a funeral procession
