back to the future part III

i know what you are thinking? how did I get a hold of the de lorean with a functioning flux capacitor? let me tell you. last saturday, myself along with some daring friends, ventured in to the twilight zone of the san juan capistrano annual swallows day parade, and what an event it was. for one whole saturday morning and afternoon we left the posh, extravagant, and luxurious orange county and were transported to another place and time as we represented the troops and pioneers of the mormon battalion. the swallows day parade is held every year through the streets of San Juan Capistrono to commemorate the small cities heritage and past. we got dressed up, showed up bright and early, and where put through merciless training by a stern leader, who was apparently very much confused about what time period it actually is and that he isn't really a member of the mormon battalion. He would settle for nothing less then a full and complete tranformation. All in all it was a memorable experience. It was interesting to see how excited different people get about different things. I guess its what keeps the world o turning. luckily i avoided any run-ins with biff tannen, but there was a pleasant aroma of horse manure drifting through the air.
