El Tapatio in Ashland’s 4th of July parade

My random, desktop image of the day was this one. I missed last year’s parade, and will miss next year’s (as I’m heading back to Denmark), but this is from a couple years ago.

I slapped my Raiders Gameday! magnet on this truck before the Ashland 4th of July Parade a couple months ago and haven’t seen it since. I hope it is put to good use. I could use it today, actually, at the tailgate in Helena. Or maybe a Carroll fan would steal it here in Montana. In any event, you want to watch today’s game. You can watch it for free at noon PT here.

fly over

They banned these for parade participants a few years ago but maybe not for the spectators. In any event, no one was complaining as it was HOT!

More pictures from the day coming soon…
