sort of a holiday

The bank and the Post Office are closed, and the schools too I guess.....but they picked up the trash this morning, so the City doesn't take it off.....it appears to be a big day for furniture stores, judging from the advertising in the newspaper yesterday, lots of sales in progress......sunnier this morning, it should get warmer than yesterday......it sounds like somebody is running a chipper or a stump-grinder or something noisy down the block.....
