The Parade

Not ONE person I talked to yesterday realized the parade and bowl games had been postponed to Monday! We all tried to view the parade on TV and were frustrated trying to find the channel rather than logically deciding the events just might have been delayed, due to the first day of the new year falling on a Sunday- but, somehow, we all expected the Rose Parade and Bowl game to take place the day after New Year's Eve!

We certainly have accustomed ourselves to going anyplace and seeing anything, regardless of the day ( or hour ). Stores are always open, some of them for twenty-four hours...you can shop almost any time you want...

I remember when most stores, banks and other businesses closed , at least for Sunday, but often on Saturday, too. That was probably inconvenient, but no one realized it. It just comes down to what you get used to...and , now, more of us are getting used to shopping,banking and even reading and going to school on-line.

One thing we can be sure of, in Borrego, though. You need to keep the gas tank full or fill up before early evening...you have to get to the Center market before 6:30 PM and the Post Office window closes at exactly 4:30 PM! AND, even more important... late dining at a restaurant means you have to get there before eight!
