Last night the local ABC affiliate decided to broadcast a local Christmas parade. The guide info said it was from 2004 (no, not a type-o) and the broadcast was scheduled for 2 hours. I watched about 5 minutes of it, dumbfounded, and I believe I identified the reason (other than commercials) for why it took 2 hours. All of the floats in the parade were boats and apparently anyone with a boat was welcome to be in the parade. I still have no explanation for why a local Christmas parade was A) televised in the first place; we don't live someplace like NYC or Miami or LA where they have cool parades that other people might want to see. What we have is an over-abundance of boat owners. And B) why said parade was rebroadcast nine years later. Craziness!
