St. Paddy's Day review

So, beautiful March weather and St. Patrick's Day combined to bring the wearin' o' the green to downtown Cleveland. There was quite a crowd.

It was immed-
iately obvious that
"dressing up" means different things to different folks.

It also seems that many young girls adhere to the traditional "Green (or Patterned) Boxers Over Tights."

The street vendors were out in force, no doubt trying to make up for several years in a row of less-than-perfect weather. "Green crap for Sale!"
Sadly, I must add that the parade was dissappointing despite two groups of bagpipers. I began looking through the crowd, thinking I would surely see someone I know.

I did not.

Still, the weather was great and I enjoyed watching the knuckleheads for a while.
