Fire Truck

Sunday afternoon was HOT for October - weird to have beautiful fall colors when it's in the mid-80s - but it was a great day to head downtown for Madison's annual Fire Truck Parade, where almost 30 fire trucks from around Dane County paraded down State Street to Capitol Square, where they were then on display for a couple of hours.

We didn't see the actual parade (two people in our household were busy napping, and suffice it to say that they were both male), but we did make it in plenty of time to see the trucks. Logan sat in about four different trucks (one was green, but he preferred the red ones). There were trucks from several different WI towns - Cottage Grove, Brooklyn, Deerfield, Sun Prairie, etc.

On the other end of State Street, a rather large pot activist rally was taking place, which - as Will pointed out - was a study in contrasts with firefighters on one end of the street and pot activists virtually opposite them on the other end of the street.

All in all, we had a very nice afternoon, especially considering that it was finished off with a liberal amount of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
