Not much powder to be had in the tropics.

I imagine that you are soaking up as much as you can now. Making up for lost time.

Is that an army truck with a wreath and candycanes on it?

Yes it is. That is the interesting thing about parades. They seem to bring out all sorts of businesses and groups that are under the radar, and you had no idea existed. For instance, apparently there is a group that performs mummer plays here. Like who would think of doing that in Florida? I'm happy to hear it, but still seems out of place. Something even crazier - there is a large club of newfoundland owners in my town. I know why I've never seen them before. It's because it is too hot for these dogs to leave the air conditioning ten months out of the year. But yes, that is an army truck, and I'm still not sure if it was owned by a private group or a government entity. The guy driving it definitely looked military.
