THE BANDS LINE UP AT THE START...

...AND THE VETS

...THE APPLEFEST QUEEN ON TOP OF THE BIG APPLE (SHE LOOKS COLD UP THERE)

PARADE CROWDS, BIGGER THAN EVER

PARADE ROUTE DOWN RITTENHOUSE AVENUE

Monday, 9:30 AM. 42 degrees at the ferry dock, 38 on the back parch.  Wind SSW, gusty.  The sky is clear, the humidity down to 65%.  The barometer is rising, now at 29.42".  It looks like it will be a nice week weather-wise, but in these parts, one never knows.
   It rained for days beforehand, but amazingly it did not rain on our parade,   Maybe it was the buckeye in my pocket, after all.

MY GOOD LUCK OHIO BUCKEYE
