The party's over, it's time to call it a day

I thought people stayed longer last year, but this year the last campers and motorcycles, and families and pets had all pulled out by noon.
I am sure many had to work tomorrow.
All that is left behind are various porta potties, in orange, and over flowed trash dumpsters.
I do not see any trash scattered around. It all seems to be contained in garbage bags. They are either in the dumpster or on the ground beside it.
There were many emergency vehicles that came by in the course of the evening last night. I have not heard what prompted that.
There is a housing unit with elderly and disabled people on past Main Street, and my street is considered one of the major thoroughfares of the little town. This was long after the races. I do not know if perhaps people drank too much and got sick, or what.
Trash pick up will be tomorrow.
Not sure when the toilets will be picked up, or the removable orange metal barricades.
Just another blip in the beginning of summer holidays.
We saw some good flag displays at cemeteries yesterday and I know that there are honor guards at many today.
For me this is more about the flags than the races.
Blessed Memorial Day to you.

Today is Tuesday and the trash trucks have been by already and then they also came and got the portable barricades.

Yes, whatever "normal" is. In the week leading up the combines came in and harvested the tall grass and baled it in big round bales. Then trucks came in and picked them up. It is never a dull moment over there.

At least Memorial Day celebrations are quieter and less trash on the streets is better than the bad news of shootings in some major cities.

Yes, we do not seem to have too much wild behavior here. Just good times.

I think a lot of people did. We were quiet here at home.

People seem to be smarter, or the weather or both. People asked us when we went shopping friday if we had plans for this weekend. All we did was watch the Nascar race on Sunday.

That has been our experience the five years this has been going on. I am so glad they are good groups.
