BCS championship game. You been asleep?
Yea, it's an interesting Blue Law that managed to stay on the books.
Other odd blue laws:
In Parker, no booze sales on Sunday until after noon.
I remember once in Seattle, They had a weird law. Not sure if they still have it but it kinda went like this:
I think you could take your own booze into a pizza place,,, but not your own pizza into a bar.
Also, the big COSTCO magnums of booze were taxed at a much higher rate on a geometric sliding scale than a fifth. So when I visited, I usually had mostly booze for luggage.
And,, strangely enough, I brought up cooking vanilla flavoring because it was heavily taxed in Washington State like liquor, and only sold where the premisis had a booze license (1% alcohol).
I belong to the Elks Club on Orangethorp and Colorado on the parade route.
All the major TV outlets pay to have their cameras and equipment there for coverage. The lodge has an 100 year old hotel on the premisis too.
This is the first year CBS opted out and won't be covering the parade saving them millions in costs, and a major loss of revenue to the lodge.
Perhaps the shape of things to come with the other networks?

OH,, TV ratings & revenue
that's why they make rain coats for
Go figure... A rare year when they choose to not have the parade on New Years Day, and NYD is dry and the 2nd rains like a cow pissin on a flat rock. Bet there's a few second thoughts runnin around Pasadena right about now.
I heard on the news too that no umbrellas are allowed in the grandstands. I'm sure that will make parade watching much more enjoyable.
Rexone, I thought I was the only one who used the expression,
"Like a cow pissin on a flat rock"
Okay, we're back. That was something else, cold and we're soaked through!! I won't be doing that again (not in the rain anyway).
The floats and bands were great, even in the rain. Beautiful, beautiful!
We felt so sorry for all those young girls in heels and tights dancing down the very wet and slipery street. I'd be suprisec if someone didn't get hurt.
The worst though, we saw multiple accidents, including one that almost finished off my whole family. A mini van on the 134 flipped and rolled over and over up against the gaurdrail coming directly at us and very close to up and over the gaurd rail and into my lap. Very scary image for us.. :220v:
Had a good time overall, even though we were surrounded by longhorn fans...
Larrynow you can at least you were there when it rained on the rose parade

Thats what Marina said.. LOL! LJ loved it, Madison was not so impressed with the wet and cold.
How was Dove Springs??
Dove springs was fun, too much rain but we made the best of it
There was a few water crossings Monday after the rain Sunday night, made the trails a nice no dust and fun.
