Damn Parade!!!
It's 8:30 and the damn parade is really up & running now. It is freakin' loud!!!!! The parade goes down Market Street (just a block away) and it couldn't be more annoying!!!! All those cheerleaders and high school bands - ARGH! I don't know how Adam and I manage to forget each year that we live on the Thanksgiving and New Years Parade route... We need to remember to get out of the city the night before.... Hmmm... guess we should really think about your NYE plans. Staying in the city doesn't sound as much fun anymore.
Fingers crossed that our car didn't get towed!!!! We gotta move. I can't take all these hassles anymore....
Update: Turns out the car had been towed. There were plenty of cops around because of the parade and one of them was quickly able to tell us where we had gotten towed to -- turned out to be the same place it got towed when Adam spent two hours looking for it (so at least now we know where to start the search the next time this happens!). Once again, our car was unlocked, as they had to (somehow) get in to our car to undo the parking break before towing.
