Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my nature lovers!  How are you?  Did you see the 4th of July parade and fireworks?  The parade was so-so, but the fireworks were impressive.  Almost all fireworks are impressive, even when they all go off at once:

And there is the issue of the La Tapatia dancing horses being bullied by a parade official driving around in a golf cart, following and harassing them along the route.  

http://www.jtirregulars.com/2014/07/la-tapatia-ends-participation-in.html  One horse even  fell.  They sometimes say that a little power is a bad thing.  I’m sorry, La Tapatia, for the poor behavior displayed by our parade officials.  Please bring your horses back next year.  If I see any officials harassing you, I’ll place the dreaded Zoltar® Curse on them.  How come after years of parades and performance, all of sudden official’s have problems with La Tapatia?

Then there is the failure of the Journal Times and other local media to even mention the Racine Equality Project’s as the winning float in the parade.  Acting like children again.  How embarrassing for Racine.  Petty politics.

The fireworks were beautiful.  Next time, though, set them off all at once like in the above video.  That would be stunning.

It was a great day for parades and fireworks.  Our weather keeps yo-yoing.  Even within a day, we can go from sunny to overcast to sunny to rain.  Or more.  But I think we drew a fair amount from the visitors for the parade and fireworks.

I just had a thought: charge a fee for watching the parade.  Anyone not wearing the designated bracelet or whatever gets a hefty ticket.  Think of the $$$!

Same with the fireworks. 

There, another money-making idea for the city for free, but they never acknowledge them, even when they use them.

Who cares?  I hope you had a pleasurable experience here and will return.  Everyone here is loved.

I hope that you’re enjoying your summer.  I hope that you’re enjoying your life.  Neurypnology!

The news reported last night that after a sitdown meeting, the owners of LaTapitila will bring the show back next year. I'm sorry they had a bad experience, but happy that maybe they felt the situation was resolved.

Thank you, Madame, for making Wednesday more than just a hump.

I am so happy that the owners of LaTapitila are not going to back down from the parade next year with the way they where treated this year by people. I don't think anyone should be treated like that.

Has anyone heard the parade director's side of the story? OR is she waiting to talk to Dickhead Dickert to learn how to come up with some bullshit story?

The horses have been in the parade for 10 years with no problems.

Mme. Z, that video you posted reminded me of an atomic bomb going off.
