Memorial Day Parade
I have been in the Yakima Gulag for something over 20 years minus time spent in BiH and Croatia. Well they always have had a Memorial Day parade, but I have never gone for one reason or another, work, then homework then hous-sitting at my daughter's.
It's kind of a dinky parade, very short. The Martin Luther King day march is bigger and this is a Republican majority area!
Still it was enjoyable. Didn't see anyone I actually knew, but I did see a guy who had a striking resemblence to Karadzic when disguised as Dr. Natural.
Then while waiting for my turn at a computer read the latest National Geographic, a short piece on Arab Christians by an Arab Christian American.
It's a very good article and it illustrates a number of points I have made over the years in discussing the Middle East with friends and people I well ... discuss things with.
Do read it if you get the chance!
