You hear it never rains in California ("but man, it pours")? Well, today, for the first time in years for September, it poured! But we had already agreed to do a Color Guard for the Route 66 Parade. Horses got bathed and clipped, tack cleaned....all just to get downpoured on! I carry the American flag and usually check the top periodically to make sure the eagle is facing forward, but everytime I did, my face got drenched! My usually demur, stay inside while it's wet, mare looked at me like I was nuts, ears half mast the whole route. And when did the rain let up? Just as we ended the route.
