You know what's weird? It's Veterans Day a national holiday and really in Salt Lake you would just about think it's a regular day. Early on I noticed the buses were running chances are they're probably running on a weekend schedule but they're out there running and that's okay because if I need a bus I want to make sure there is a bus. Even the place next door whether redoing the park I was surprised when my caregiver indicated they were hard hats out there working on the project. I told her no they could not be because it's a holiday, a national holiday! What kind of Unions would let their people work on the national holiday? But surely my caregiver was right once I focused for a little bit I could see the white helmets that all the workers wear and some of their Orange vests that protects them I guess from wayward backhoes and other Earth moving devices. I was totally shocked but see in the white helmets. Granted, these working veterans we're not working very hard. They look like they could be on vacation the one sort or another but who am I to judge? I don't think I mentioned it yet but they've opened up the sidewalk to the park that's been being remodeled. The project has been the focus of our attention for some time. And with the opening of the sidewalk means that they are getting close to finishing this project which will be great but that's another rant for another day.
What really kind of threw me however was I looked up my old high school or rather I checked on it to see if they were going to have the old Boise Borah game today. The Boise Borah game has been across town rival for decades. This was the way for a long time because they were the only two high schools in town. Boise high it's been there since the turn of the other century and Bora has been there since the fifties. Such a classic and they would battle out the crosstown rival ship every year on Veterans Day. It was a big event for Boise after Capital High was built things begin to unwind on that level they tried to keep up the tradition but with capital having to fill in the bill every third year or whatever just wasn't the same anymore except for the fact that the B&B game was tradition and the two Rivals still had strong feelings against each other. However I noticed this year the game was played in late September which means it was treated just like another high school football competitor. It's kind of sad but I think it's the way things are Everything Changes which I think and of course football changes too.
Tomorrow is Tuesday of course and that's the regular day I go in for my volunteer board at assist ink. However, due to the holiday, we're not meeting tomorrow which is good for me. There's a storm coming in, a small storm but promises to bring much cooler temperatures and rain and possibly some snowflakes. I'm thankful because I didn't want to go out tomorrow in the elements. My stomach's gurgling tonight that's not a good sign. I'm going to see if I have any anti-diary stuff and see if that will get me through till Wednesday but Melissa will be here in the morning to do the toilet thing..
