The weather report was something like a 95% chance of rain. That may have had something to do with the less-than-anticipated crowd.

We thought about going up, but we hate the traffic in DC, and if it was going to rain? Yeah. No.

So the haters' get to the parade two hours early and take a video of the "crowd" - BEHIND the OPPOSITE side of the parade route from the reviewing stand, and giggle about the sparse crowd.

Or they look at "The Mall", as if THAT'S where the parade was.

Looked like a pretty big crowd for the fireworks after the parade.
