SF's Memorial Day Carnival Parade in Action

I can see San Francisco's Memorial Day Carnival Parade along Mission Street from a 3 story house rooftop.

It's cold for late May in the same way that Mark Twain's infamous quote that he never really said, reminds me of the reality of San Francisco summer every year. I want to grab a parka, but realizing that notion is ridiculous, I merely think about San Diego where I'll be for a chunk of this week.

A very human but colorful shot by Alaskan Dude taken at a previous parade which will you a flavor of an event I have chosen not to shoot this weekend.
