The Saint Patrick's day parade that I said was going to happen this weekend in uptown Charlotte has been postponed.
Bad weather has caused the parade to shift its date to next Saturday. I'm not sure that Saint Patrick would like that. Maybe he would have wanted everyone to tough it out with a parka on.
The weather here over the weekend has been difficult to accept. After a week in the 80s, someone flipped a switch and turned Charlotte into a wintery, rainy place to be.
They actually cancelled it on Friday, because they feared bad weather. They were right. The cold rain may have a lot to do with the way Ireland really is. But it has nothing to do with our sunny green idea of what Ireland should be.
I think its funny that a ton of people have an idea of what they think Ireland must be like based on parades and stories. I think they include traditional dancers in the parades too. But that really doesnt' tell you what it's like to visit the country and live there. I guess that is something that it would be nice for everyone to do, see another country, or even another part of this country.

Brian,
That is a new one for me! And probably for you too! We have unpredictable weather but the show would go on. But we are more equipped for such weather related issues as you. And we don't plan any parades until much later in the year...like the 4th! Although, it has been told that it did in fact snow a bit one year!
