4th of July parade

My step son needed something to carry on his flatbed for the 4th of July parade. Saved me from driving in the 100 degree temps, saved me gas and having to buy candy to throw!!!! Don't know everyone elses weather is but the heat and humidity is brutal here in east central Illinois.

Is that a pool on the back?

Re: 4th of July parade

I like that...

Normal temp around here has been 95-105 and higher in some cases. We call it a cool front if the temp drops down to the low 90's. Difference is we're used to it, though.
