Today was the time of the year again, the day of the annual fight for parade spots in the Village of Menomonee Falls. This year, we got lucky. Some friends who haven't been at the parade the last couple of years were going this year, and she was going to be out running errands at 7:00 AM and was planning on going to stake out our spot right afterward. That meant I didn't need to get out there right away, so I took my time getting ready and got there to sit with her by 9:00 AM. By about 11:00 AM, there were virtually no spots left on our section of street.
There were a few guys who parked their cars sideways apparently attempting to claim a spot without being there (I assume they had to work and didn't have anyone to sit there all day). We had a little bit of fireworks as someone came and sat at that area planning on claiming it, and then hen those guys showed up they sort of threw a tantrum. I just had to laugh. But in the end we got our same, regular spot where we have been sitting for the last 6 years. So we plan on having a good time again this year celebrating Independence Day (July 4th is the day, the holiday is INDEPENDENCE DAY). With any luck we'll have Governor Walker in it again this year.
