WE ARRIVED AT 'NOFRE EARLIER THAN USUAL. Today is the

preview of TEAM/BIGKOOK'S entry for the 2004 Pasadena

Rose Parade along Colorado Blvd. When she first made the swing

down the "primitive" dirt road, pulled by a Kelly-green John Deere tractor

with "The Messenger" at the controls, was an awesome sight to behold.

The Amish farm wagon was larger than anticipated, the bed seven feet

above ground, was of hand-buffed ranch oak. THE/TEAM spared no expense

in chroming the pneumatic tire rims installed for the gang's comfort

If you choose to view the ranch wagon, go to GOOGOL, type in Amish

Farm Wagon, hit the image prompt to see what you missed this

beautiful Fall morning. The SANO BOD boycotted the proceedings,

something to do with California driver's licenses.
