Hey, It's Tradition


I treated my niece and nephew to see the dyeing of the river today, followed by a jaunt to Grant Park for the famous parade.

My 8-year old nephew asked me exactly what implications this had on the environment. I had to do some research. Apparently, it's not harmful. Apparently.

My answer to him at the time: "I don't know if this is bad for the river or not, but hey, it's tradition."

What a Republican answer.

Apparently, tradition trumps all, even the environment. Apparently.

How long does the river stay green for (Irish green, not murky, disgusting, dirty green)? I've never really paid attention to that.

We've never been to the parade. Can you believe that?
