Not much more exciting if at all. We have a couple of antique convertibles. So the town asked us to drive them in today's parade. This way, the mayor and councilpeople get to wave. My wife drives the mayor; I drive some councilperson. Probably will rain anyway. I'm not looking forward to it, because the car I drive is a standard shift. Driving an old Porsche in first gear for a few hours is not appealing. The other car is a '57 T-Bird.
