So, we were driving westbound on Mack near rush hour, just past St. Jean, when we spot this old bus parked in the party store lot. Nothing too odd about that, except it seemed everyone was getting out.
Strange tour group. Wondered if they were having engine trouble, until I noticed the fellow in the front was actually blowing one of those old Ram's horn trumpets, which I believe is called a shofar. [[just learned through google that they can be had on sale for only $21.99!)
Funny to hear Django in my head still, "What the hell is that NOISE?!"
We were in the right lane, and as I continued my casual gazing, one of the city's finest [[and I'm not talking officers of the law, I'm being sarcastic) passed us on the right, blowing by almost sideswiping us and taking Django's arm off. But I digress.
I realized what we were seeing. It was a small ragtag Christian group on some form of spiritual mission. They were opening their ceremony with the shofar, while two of the women carried a purple banner with a huge gold crown embossed upon it.
I had to turn around so Django could get some pictures.
License plate was from Minnesota, but the front destination board read Battle Creek.
The engine compartment was open, so they might've been having engine trouble, too. But the whole banner/parade thing was sorta strange to see.
I'm wondering if Danny is one of their scouts, I've seen him east of here...
Cheers!
