NightCap

Well, the trucks are silent, now that it’s past 8pm and has been dark for a few hours… but not before a big parade ending. On top of all the trucks and cars blasting away, one candidate got a dozen kids in festival outfits to parade through every parking lot in the area and down all the streets waving light wands and shouting. Followed closely, of course, by an adult with a portable-yet-large loudspeaker (one the size of a tuba, roughly) screaming political slogans.
Let’s hope that was the grand finale. I don’t know if I could tolerate another day of this….
