The Fremont Soltice Day Parade is developing, growing, and evolving. There is something resembling organization about it. It might be some sort emergent behavior. Anthills exhibit enormous organization even though even though the little ants don't really have any clerical skills individually. One thing which has helped keep things in order is that they have given up stopping naked people from entering the parade. The first thirty minutes of the parade was mostely naked people on bikes, which is great. I do worry about a few of these individuals however. Please, for my own peace of mind,. if you are ever bicycling nude (or naked) keep off your cell phone. I saw at least three buck naked individuals zipping about the crowded parade route while holding a cell phone to their ear. My suspicion is that most of the conversations they were having were of the form, "Hey, guess what I'm doing right now!" or, "Dude, I'm doing I it for real!" Please, just keep both hands on the handlebars and leave the phone at home.
