HECK OF A JOB, BROWNIES!

Why, when we all started out the Granville Independence Day parade as Democrats, did we all cross the finish line looking like John Boehner?

But unlike the House Minority Leader, our tans came thanks to a good old fashioned solar searing rather than the Congressman's preference for spray-on orange.  With temperatures in the mid-90s, we now have all shed our winter pale and are ready for a summer of serious campaigning.

Okay, so the picture shows an umbrella shielding the riders.  Not seen are the walk-along-siders who ended the march covered with a disgusting blend of suntan lotion, sweat and sticky sugar stains from all the kids grabbing for candy.

At least 30 local Democrats turned out to show the colors, including candidates Paula Brooks, Vicky Christiansen and Naomi Compton. Top prize for spirited yelling goes to the Brooks gang which got the otherwise subdued crowd involved in cheers for "U.S.A.!!"

And yes, there was supposed to be a trailer behind Grace and Art's pickem-up truck but a hitch developed.  Or rather a hitch didn't develop.  It's complicated.  And please don't ask Grace about it.
