This means the masses will be out in droves clogging up the streets, driving crazy, doing the jeckyl & hyde thing of nice/evil and genuinely “freaking me out” because so there are so many folks out and about.
Not that there aren’t on a “normal” basis but holiday weekends tend to bring out the crazies even more I have noticed.
It is not just here in sweet home Alabama, but everywhere I have lived – coast to coast.
I have to wonder, is it like the full moon and high tides that have proven effects on people? Because that is real I know it. I’ve seen it firsthand. I have witnessed the crazy and been the crazy.
So no judging here! In my world it’s just a scale of how crazy. I mean there are the extremes: Just crazy (and oh there are variances there) and Kill you in your sleep crazy. Seriously.
But back to the holiday weekend theory, again we “celebrate” a day off on Monday.
Memorial Day.
I saw it pointed out some people think that Memorial Day is for all that have served and continue to serve our country.
It is not.
However, you should Always thank those daily for those who have and continue to serve!
Just so you’re in the know we honor them formally in November on Veterans Day. Keep up folks!
Memorial Day is for remembering those service men and women who gave ALL. Who gave their life up for our country. It is a day of respect and reflection.
It is a federal holiday but it is for Remembering those millions of service people who gave their lives so that we could have our freedoms.
Originally it was named Decoration Day after the American Civil War for folks would go out to the cemeteries to clean and decorate the graves of those servicemen who had died for their country . The name was changed to Memorial Day in the twentieth century to include all service men and women who had died for their country while serving.
So while you are enjoying your day off work, or eating your bar-b-q and baked beans remember why we “get” this holiday.
Take a moment, just a brief moment, to give thanks to those who gave us this freedom to do as we please and say how we feel.
Try to respect your fellow human and not throttle them. Try to be of the just crazy variance please!
Here’s to a fabulous “holiday” weekend!
The United States of America: Land of the Free. Home of the Brave.
