Yeah Walt, I knew I did not need to mention it was a mirror lens. I have
made some nice abstract photos using just the bokeh.
The tripod did help with sharpness. I was surprised how fast people go
out of focus when they are coming directly at you and I was not using
burst mode. Because the lens has such a compressed effect ( the photo of
the parade beginning covers 7 blocks. Count the street lights) it
requires adding some contrast enhancement to perk up the tonality. Glad
you liked them.

Ah, the telltale "donut bokeh" of the mirror lens. Nice!
I'm surprised at the sharpness, as I was under the impression that it
was a major liability in mirror lenses.
Excellent work, Don!
