Description of Pictures: This was the Montgomery County Thanksgiving Parade: A Salute to Law Enforcement. This had been the year of the sniper and the parade was dedicated "to honor the victims of the recent shootings in the region and to salute the law enforcement officers who worked so diligently on all fronts during the crisis." The parade was held in downtown Silver Spring (where I live) and followed an interfaith service at the Catholic church downtown. The parade's main personality was Charles A Moose, the Montgomery County Chief of Police. It also featured Douglas Duncan (county executive), Gary Bald (Special Agent in Charge from the FBI), and Michael Bouchard (Special Agent in Charge from the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms). Plus there were a lot of police cars representing various police forces (including Ashland VA) and the inevitable school parades and commercial plugs. I don't normally do this sort of thing but I enjoyed this tremendously.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SSP_021123_008.JPG: Doug Duncan and Paul Sarbanes
2. SSP_021123_019.JPG: Charles Moose, Montgomery County Police Commissioner during the sniper affair
3. SSP_021123_041.JPG: Seen here at the Silver Spring Thanksgiving Day Parade back in 2002, Charles Moose passed on November 25, 2021. As Montgomery County Maryland's police chief, he led the 1,000-officer county effort In 2002 against the Beltway Snipers, two crazies who killed 10 people over a three-week period from their Chevy Caprice. Since most of the victims had died in Montgomery county, the effort to catch the snipers was coordinated here and Moose was the man in charge. Moose wrote a book about the event which violated some ethics rules and he was forced to resign.
4. SSP_021123_061.JPG: These moose hats (as well as calls) were very popular during the event
5. SSP_021123_094.JPG: These guys begged to have their pictures taken, saying "What? You don't take the pooper scooper picture?!" They followed the horses

13. SSP_021123_272.JPG: Kelly Rita Szajna, Miss Bethesda. To be honest, I never even knew people bothered electing Miss city types.
14. SSP_021123_306.JPG: I haven't a clue who this guy was representing

2002 photos: Image quality isn't going to be very good for the first half of this year because these are scans of prints. Equipment this year: I took the plunge and bought my first digital camera. It was August 2002 and I bought an Epson PhotoPC 3100Z. While a nice camera, it had some quirks and bumping it would result in it being totally out of focus until you manually shut it down -- something which blurred almost every picture I took in New York City one day. Trips this year: Two weeks out west, one week in New York, and one week down south. This was the year I started the photo web site. It started to come together in August 2002, mostly as a way of allowing me to keep track of the pictures I was taking. It took awhile to add some basic bells and whistles (logging didn't get added until November) but it's been pretty much like it started out since then. Archaic but working, and free!
