Tuesday July 16th 2024

The rain arrived at 4PM today. That is about the only part of the day’s weather that was different from the last few. The temperature peaked in the low to mid nineties before the rain. The nice thing about a 4PM rain is it turns down the heat right at the peak of the day. It allows the AC to keep up better.

While I was out doing errands today I had to consult the calendar. The Fourth of July is over and the stores have started to put the Halloween merchandise out. The inflatable ghosts, ghouls and other Halloween haunts have started to make their appearance in the stores. Decorating for Halloween has really become a big business over the last few years. I guess the only other event the stores need to focus on between now and the end of October is Back to School. They’re doing pretty well with that as well. School starts in the first or second week of August around here this year.

I wonder what was special about today. A good number of RVs departed the park this morning. In the afternoon several new occupants arrived. I don’t think of a Tuesday as a turnover day. Overall there are fewer occupied sites tonight than last night. It will probably settle down again as the weekend approaches.
