Surprise Holiday

I found out today that next Monday is Memorial Day, which is one of the paid holidays we get. Yay for a 3 day weekend. If I’d actually looked it up I’d have noticed, but I’ve been busy lately and didn’t think of it.

Today was graduation at the Air Force Academy, so they had the Thunderbirds out for their yearly air show. Unlike last year, I actually found out when it was and got to watch it from the balcony on the back of our building. It was neat, especially when they flew somewhat low right over us on the way back to the AFA.

Leaving work today (later than I intended, which has been common lately) I saw a rabbit trekking across the parking lot. I’m guessing it’s one of the ones that lives in the landscaping in front of the building, but I’m wondering what would prompt a rabbit to go that far from anything green or all hiding spots besides cars. Perhaps it spotted a bush and decided something along the lines of “that’s green, I’m going to go eat it despite standing next to all these other plants.”
