Some days it's the sun, others it's the birds, most days it's my alarm. Today, however, I was awakened by the sound of a B2. That can mean only one thing: the start of the Rose Parade, and a new year. I live less than a block away from the parade route, so all these people are camped out in front of my house in RVs. The rest of the people are in sleeping bags on the curb. Even though it has been raining for the past week just about constantly, and it is predicted to rain the next four days as well, the sky is bright blue today. Amazing how that always works out. Unfortunatly, I missed the JPL float coming by my house. I guess I'll have to see it on lab later this week.
