That's the thing I like the most about the parade, aside from the 
straightahead visual pageantry. This is such a time-bending thing. Any given 
weekday there are tens of thousands of cars downtown... but this one morning 
we get to see history.

Some of the wagons ARE over a hundred years old; the rest are authentic 
replicas. Ride in one for a while and you appreciate just how easy we have 
it. Even on concrete... I'd rather be on a horse, I think.
