Holiday boon or bust

Those hoping for a sunny Labor Day holiday here at the beach will, I'm afraid, be disappointed. If on the other hand you are hoping for some good local shrimp, your wishes will be fulfilled.

The beachside greeting was dark clouds and shrimp boats (three tiny points of light on the horizon). The clouds were fine even after they turned soggy — I was glad I had taken my umbrella. I put it to good use and others caught in the rain looked at me with envy.

On the other hand, the smile brought on by the shrimp boats could not be doused by the rain. A visit to the local fish market in the next couple of days will surely produce some delights. Happy Labor Day!
