Saturday morning I decided to do my duty for the environment and properly get rid of the my old computer that has simply refused to work for me any more. I went online and found the nearest disposal place that would take it. The landfill was near downtown Fayettville, which tells you how big Fayettville is. I took a direct route to the landfill but thought I would go through downtown to see if any new places had opened up on Hay Street.
Downtown Fayettville was closed off due to a parade of some sort. I now have to take detours past the parade route, along Hay street in an area that I have not been through before. I take a trip past a round-about and toward a parking lot area near the Amtrak station. There were cars everywhere and I found myself pulling up behind two cars that appeared to be waiting for parking spots.
I decided to move around them and get out of this dead end search for a way out. Just as I slid to the left and began to pull around, I noticed a horde of people carrying a banner moving my way. The parade was coming straight at me! Aaaahhhh! I put the car into reverse and backed my way out of the parking lot. I eventually followed detours back out of downtown just barely surviving my encounter with a real live parade.
How many people can say that?

Good for you about your monitor, oh environmentally- savvy one. :-) Never encountered an attack parade; came close with a herd of sheep though.
Hey - thanks for your encouragement on my blog lately. Ed and I appreciate your prayers and support...
You should have gone to the local toy store and asked for 10,000 marbles.
Actually, you should have been driving the Deathmobile, and the parade would have gotten out of your way.
