Hello, my roamin’ candles!
How are you? Aside from the rain,
recent weather has been much to my liking.
It’s the cool nights that make it nice.
Temperatures in the 80’s are fine by day, but the evenings are best chilled
down. Why can’t it just stay that
way? I’d pay for good weather. Perhaps weather control will be a growth
industry in the coming century.
Tomorrow, of course, is the biggest party day of the year in
Racine: the 4th of
July. For one day, an entire city goes
nuts. Bars on the parade route open
early and keep pouring until well after the fireworks end. The parade is the highlight of the day. As in previous years, I’m not sure if I’m
going to the parade or not. Probably
not. Of course, like every year, Junior
will attend. And like every year, he
will watch girls much more than the parade.
Those hormones go crazy sometimes.
Maybe we’ll set up the grill and make some brats and burgers
in the afternoon.
Or maybe someone else
will. (Free food for whoever wants to
come over and cook for us on the 4
th.)
I know that I won’t be attending the
fireworks.
They’re beautiful, but the
crowds keep me away.
If I can see them
from a rooftop or somewhere, fine.
I
won’t be in the thronging masses on and near North
Beach.
That’s too much sweaty humanity for me.
As in previous years, I’d like to salute and thank the Law
Enforcement Officers and others who work tirelessly on the 4th to
keep the holiday safe. God bless you
all.
Mr. Mayor Dickert is number 6 in the parade lineup. He’s smart to get it over with before the
crowd gets too liquored up.
Now that kringle has been named Wisconsin’s
Official Pastry, I feel obligated to help spread the good news. Therefore, each of my clients today will
receive a complimentary kringle. I know
that most Racinians have a favorite bakery and flavor when it comes to kringle. Mine are O & H Bakery and pecan kringle,
but I wouldn’t turn down a slice of any flavor from the competition. It’s all good. Eat your favorite kringle proudly. On Wisconsin!
Maybe Wisconsin
should have an Official Psychic. I’d
consider the position if the perks were right.
I have to get some sort of affordable health insurance for Junior and
myself. A state job would have the
benefits I need. Who do I have to
hypnotize to get this ball rolling? Which
palms need reading and which need greasing?
I know what to kiss, and when.
Kisses and hugs to you, my dear readers. Thank you for making my blog a part of your
day. Linger as long as you’d like. Things move slowly, but surely, at Dear Madame Zoltar.
Have a very happy 4th and a great week, my
friends. Enjoy summer. It is here too briefly and stays away too
long. Live and love. Kakistocracy!
