Just heard a fire truck out side of my house.

When I looked out to see what was happening I saw it was leading a parade of sorts. Next week end we do have a parade schedule and for one moment I was wondering did I get the date of the parade wrong or was today somehow June 14th and I lost a week.
Then I saw a poster on a car. VBS, Vacation Bible School. Is it just me or is there a problem with the fire department participating in a church parade. What if every church in the city asks for the same "favor" what if I were having an Atheist parade. Would I get the same "favor".

What do you all think?

3. If the fire truck is government property, it's not ok. If the firefighters are government employees

and are on the time clock, it's not ok.

If you are in the bible belt, forget trying to do anything about it.

Might ask the Mayor next time I see him but I am not going to make a issue over it.
