Keith is recovering from surgery

"Open eyes - open wide - close eyes - look here - open eyes wide - close eyes . . . "

Was at the hospital eye clinic, had been given some eye drops and told to wait for the drops to take effect.

Heard the nurse repeatedly say:

"Open eyes - open eyes wide - close eyes - open eyes wide- look here - open eyes wide - close eyes- open eyes wide . . . "

So I followed her instructions.

When she started giggling I looked and realized she was giving another nurse an English lesson

Wax Castle Parade Grandstand

This year it's set up a short distance from the recently built Clock Tower.

First Wax Castle parade I saw was 2002, the main grandstand was then at the intersection of the Police Box. Years later it was moved up near the gas station, with a waiting line not at the pump.

If you want to see performances then find a seat close near one of three grandstands and come early. Most likely there will be a live broadcasts. I was privileged enough twice to sit in the main grandstand
