Labour Day Weekend
Sep. 1st, 2007 03:33 pmBank Holiday on Monday due to Labour Day - some sad attempt at an artificial holiday where in the working class is praised. Hell, I get a day off, but it's unpaid. Some thanks.
In this town, Labour Day means only one thing. Classic Weekend. All the numpties come out and go to the racetrack. I've seen license plates from Quebec, Ohio, Tennessee, and all parts. Made it to Staples early this morning to send out a package UPS and had a damnable time trying to just get there and back with all the dumb race fans cluttering up the two lane main road that's out East.
Noise it outrageous. The wind's blowing just right so all the sound comes right up the hill and hits the back of my house. Ever want to know what F-1 or NASCAR would sound like if they ran on 3/4 mile tracks? Come sit on my back deck. It's enough to shake my beer bottle from a mile away. Can't imagine why anyone would want to pay $50USD to sit and have their ear drums blown out and watch cars drive around in a circle. Wheee! They're turning left! ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
The noise has also had the side effect of driving the turkey's up into the trees. Guess they feel safer up there, but then what goes up, comes down. Usually with a bunch of branches at the same time. Makes a racket all on their own. Not the brightest animal on the planet.
Washed the turkey poop off the car, it'll need to be washed again tomorrow at this rate. Think I might go out to the Best Kept. Poke around a bit, see if they've got any cool clothes.
