SKUNK EGGS, HOT WINGS AND PARADES..

The 34th Westfest Parade, which I found out the other day on the news is the largest parade per capita in the United States...so take that you light weights.

The kid turned toward the camera is Inky's nephew, my dear friend Mike and Sara's son Tanner. He went to the Harley Davidson mechanic school in Phoenix...good kid..

I forget what this float was..but I liked the big testicle on a stick. Everyone on all the floats toss candy to the kids. which is why everyone has the sacks and the kids are all bent over picking up stuff...The politicians came through high fiving the kids and they would look at their hand like "where's the candy dude?"

My favorite float for the past 3 years. It's an out house and the sign says "Bohemian Motor Home'...And every year this woman sends a letter to the editor of the West News bitching about how its demeaning to Bohemians..

That is Sarah A. Mike's wife..I am responsible for them being together..Mike and I were out drinking and went to a party and I found Sarah passed out in the back of a car with the windows rolled up and it was about 103 outside..So I got Mike to help me get her in the Jeep and we took her to Agnes's house and the rest they say is history. Mike isn't so sure it's such a great thing any more..ha.

My bank..and Czechs in costume.

Band playing polkas..

more Czech costumes.

Ok..so we're not so fussy about who and what gets to be in the parade..If a little girl wants to drive her truck in the parade...it's ok with us.

Cheerleaders.

Mike A. Inky's brother, and one of my oldest dearest friends. We're both Scorpio's and used to go get drunk on our birthdays every year...not for the past 20..ha..

That's Babs on the left.

The rope off the area in front of the court house and people can gather there and ride the bus out to the Wesstfest so not to have to pay $2-3 for parking.

Think this is either Miss Westfest or Miss West.

more Czechs.

these are the linked rides from the Kaska farm...which is really cool. They have a maze can have party's out there.

Sara and Mike's daughter in the orange shirt. She is 12 and made a hundred on her school test(it has a name but forget what it's called) and Duke University wants to give her 2 tests and if she does as good as they think she will they will offer her a scholarship.. She's one of the best kids I know..Beautiful on the inside and the outside. I told her to read The Name of the Wind by Patrick Roth fuss and told her it was the best book I had read that year and maybe for the past 4 years, to trust your Aunt Jackie and check it out. She came up to me that morning and said I just finished the book and its the best book I ever read and can't wait for the next one to come out. Made my day.

There were a bunch of classic cars..but hard to get up close enough to get a good picture..had a 1924 Model T truck that was killer.

This is the Tiger Shop, a gas station with a tiny

kitchen and eating area..they make great hamburgers and tacos and burritos. The band was playing all thru the parade and it was C&W and not polkas which was a nice change.

This is right down our Main Street which is called Oak...and if you cross over the tracks the next cross street is Main Street,

This is Oak going over the rail road tracks and into the heart of town.

Czech flag flying over the local car dealers.

Pizza house bacon cheese burger and fries. Bacon Cheese Burger is $4.25, and $1.85 for side of fries.

I had 6 hot chicken wings for $3.99

We got our drinks free cause when we got there they had 2 waitress's and they were swamped.. So Babs and I bussed all the tables for them and we got our drinks free. Pretty cool. We did it to help but also because our regular table needed cleaning too.ha

them fecking bangs..they are supposed to go to my right but haven't got them trained since the new hair cut..that's the center of the skunk egg.

The world famous skunk egg.

Big sucker ain't it?
Oh by the way the hot sauce that came with the wings? ITS FUCKING HOT!.. First time I had to say..'its too hot for me'..
