I can’t be in the parade - not being a float, and not being covered in flowers. However, the police are going to keep the parade route closed to traffic, and allow these idiots to follow the parade.

Pasadena police have been explicit in what will happen. Following the parade (and the police cars and the tow trucks and whatever support vehicles are needed), the public will be welcome to, as has always been the tradition, to follow the parade for the rest of the route.

Pasadena police will not guarantee position for any OWS protest, they will not reserve a space for them, they will not kick out others from there, and the occupotty protesters, as of about an hour and a half ago, numbered just six - whereas the bicycles and signs were already stationed at the 'end of parade staging area' just waiting for their chance to follow the parade six hours later.

The occupotty bozos have garnered a lot of press, and that's about it. You can assume, however, that the liberals in the media will take every effort to show us the occupotty protesters, and imply the mass of humanity behind them is part of their paltry little group.

Rollin’ down the Imperial Highway
With a big nasty redhead at my side
Santa Ana winds blowin’ hot from the north
And we as born to ride

Roll down the window put down the top
Crank up the Beach Boys baby
Don’t let the music stop
We’re gonna ride it till we just can’t ride it no more

From the South Bay to the Valley
From the West Side to the East Side
Everybody’s very happy
‘Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day

I love L.A. (We love it)
I love L.A. (We love it)

Look at that mountain
Look at those trees
Look at that bum over there, man
He’s down on his knees
Look at these women
There ain’t nothin’ like ‘em nowhere

Century Boulevard (We love it)
Victory Boulevard (We love it)
Santa Monica Boulevard (We love it)
Sixth Street (We love it, we love it)

I love L.A.
I love L.A.
(We love it)

I love Southern California. Lived there for 26 years, now in Memphis and would trade in a heartbeat.

And the reason why were still here in S. CAL..Refusing to give up the best to settle for less.

I’m locked in. My children and grandchildren are all here in Memphis. Enjoy for me.

Went back and read you #43post. I don’t guess that there was any snow on the San Bernadino mts. today? We had a cabin at Lake Arrowhead.

Your post reminds me of when I was a little girl 65 years or so. We would go to Knotts because it was free. I loved to hear the story of Cordelia Knott’s mother Mary going across the desert in a covered wagon.

I will Maria...

BTW, I am restoring a vintage 1971 CT1B 175 Yamaha Enduro...Just rode it around...in a t-shirt, while watching the sun set...Warm breeze in the face....That was a kick! Had one just like it in 71. My wife made me get off it..lol

Take care.
