Well today marks the start of Westerner Days here in Red Deer. (It's like the Calgary Stampede only smaller and less exciting.) That meant the parade was this morning which always draws lots of people. Unfortunately all those people are trying to leave the downtown area at the same time, right when I'm trying to get home for lunch. Usually this isn't a big deal since I don't live downtown but this year there's an awful lot of road work being done including the bridge on the main road out of the downtown area, this is also the bridge I take to get home. So several thousand people trying to get their vehicles across a 2 lane bridge is bad enough, it's nearly impossible when it's down to 1 lane. Sigh, and I didn't even get to see the parade.

Baldur went to the Ancients & Horribles Parade here in RI on the4th.
It totally disrupts life in the town of Chepachet for hours and hours.
They should do it more often.

Here is a musical moment in honor of George Clinton's birthday.
'Atomic Dog' as performed by George Clinton
written by George Clinton, Garry Shider/David Spradley


Yeah, this is a story of a famous dog
For the dog that chases its tail will be dizzy
These are clapping dogs, rhythmic dogs
Harmonic dogs, house dogs, street dogs
Dog of the world unite
Dancin' dogs
Yeah
Countin' dogs, funky dogs
Nasty dogs (Dog)

Atomic dog

Here's something in keeping with the dog theme.

I always enjoyed this bit of nonsense from the Monkees (who were normally known for their no-nonsense approach to music otherwise ;p )

Thanks Baldur for birthday wishes! Wow, I didn't know I shared a birthday with Alison Krauss (or Monica Lewinsky for that matter). I love AK. She has the voice of an angel.
