Happy Fourth of July

These are from a few years ago, but it is still possible to find honest-to-goodness small town parades.

Happy 4th to you too Buck!

Check your PM. I sent reminder instructions about how to use the RTA Contributing Writers Photo Program, which would have allowed you to upload those photos in about five seconds and is a lot easier to deal with instead of the program that you used.

But still lovely to see the photos.

I pulled into Fort Worth, Texas last night at about 4:00 pm -- after driving through some VERY INTENSE rain squalls. Fireworks went on in the city last night -- saw several sets from my hotel room. Lots of crashes (hydroplanes) on the roads yesterday. We were unscathed--although at times, the fun of the driving challenge morphed into a bit of danger.

Will be in town one more night and then on Amarillo, Eagle's Nest, Denver, Torrington and beyond.
