Yesterday evening was the Christmas boat parade. We are in the central time zone, so it gets dark here around 5:15. Dozens of pleasure craft, of all kind and description, are decorated with Christmas lights etc and ride in the canal from Gulf Shores to some place in Orange Beach. It sounded as though the people on the boats were enjoying an extra egg nog or two. We found a great spot on the shoulder of the road, along with hundreds of others, to watch the parade. Parade was over by 6:30. A good time was had by all.
I don't understand the people in this area. If it is dark when we return from dinner, we pass people walking or riding a bike on the side of the road, with no lights or reflective gear. Just dark clothing. Stupid or suicidal?
