Afternoon Coffee - the 4th of july edtion

Afternoon Coffee


Attended the "famous" Fourth of July Parade in Bristol, RI. Probably my eigth, nineth, tenth time. Hurricane Arthur also made an appearance. The parade went on as usual ( is what they do ). i had considered bringing my camera but opted not to. Rain showers were predicted for the morning leading into heavy rain for the afternoon. As predicted the showers persisted on and off preceding Arthur's arrival, throughout the entire parade. The last marching band was out of Connecticut with the nickname Hurricane on their banner. As if they were Arthur's fanfare, it then began to rain with more intensity and lasted for the rest of the day. A town close to my own received nearly 8" of rain yesterday. Yikes! Certainly a 4th of July to remember.
After the parade an afternoon coffee was enjoyed as Arthur rained down upon our region.
