I continue spelling out 'Mathematics' in my mathematics blog. How's that look, if you haven't got it on your RSS reader? Like this:

With that put in, let's now jump back to a week ago Friday and see the Silver Bells parade some more.
What might be my only decent picture of the Christmas balls set up in the roundabout at Washington and Michigan. They were provided by Bronner's Christmas Wonderland and someone drove a car into them ... two years ago? But they look good now and give something for the center of the traffic circle to hold now.
They set up an artificial ice-skating rink outside City Hall. That is, one with a plastic skating surface that somehow works instead of ice.
And here's the broadcast booth for the parade. We never saw the reporters in it, but I'm sure we will once we watch the TV footage for ourselves.
A view of the capitol with the tree to its side. The historical marker near the flagpole on the right commemorates the General Strike in 1937, and it's been there since ... 2018? Maybe 2019. It's new, anyway.
A better view of the plastic skating rink, with one of the few people braving it. The capitol's in view behind and this all came out nicely.
The shopping village was packed and not really that comfortable! Almost everyone you can see here is in line for hot chocolate from the one place vending hot chocolate.
Photographing another kiosk in the Christmas village because I was able to get a good shot. We didn't stop at it, or any of the shops, it turned out.
And looking back up at Boji Tower, née Olds Tower, with a lighted projection of Santa occupying several of its highest floors.
There's our Santa looking down on the city!
