Memorial Day weekend plans?

Recommended Posts

Since its going to be too windy to jump Im going to ride my mountain bike to Santa Cruz from San Francisco and battle the wind on my bike along the coast. Camp the beach overnight. Should be relaxing.

Im going to the Felton Remembers Parade and Covered Bridge Festival while Im there. Buy a few beers for our service boys and girls, shake some hands and such.

What are you peeps doing with your bad ass selves for this long weekend?

You jump at Davis? Supposed to be 5 mph breeze on Saturday.

I'll be continuing to enjoy pain meds as I strive to keep my leg elevated. Might get to go for a picnic on Monday.

I know, you're jealous. My life FTW.

Not according to this: http://www.accuweather.com/us/ca/davis/95616/forecast-details.asp?fday=3

But then you look at wunderground and they say "up to 10." And weather channel says 12.

I love how sites can come totally different conclusions on the same raw data. :D:D (In other words "we don't really have a fuckin' clue").

Ya, Davis. I usually use accuweather as Krisanne posted. For the most part the day of forecast winds are usually right, from what I find so far.

Hope you get out to that picnic, and your leg feels better B|

What's Memorial day, is that like your version of ANZAC Day?



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_day

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday that honors American servicemembers and is observed on the last Monday of May (May 30 in 2011). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. citizens who died while on military service.[1] First enacted to honor Union and Confederate soldiers following the American Civil War,[2] it was extended after World War I to honor Americans who have died in all wars.

Memorial Day often marks the start of the summer vacation season, and Labor Day its end.

Quote

Begun as a ritual of remembrance and reconciliation after the civil war, by the early 20th century, Memorial Day was an occasion for more general expressions of memory, as ordinary people visited the graves of their deceased relatives, whether they had served in the military or not. It also became a long weekend increasingly devoted to shopping, family gatherings, fireworks, trips to the beach, and national media events such as the Indianapolis 500 (since 1911) and the Coca-Cola 600 (since 1960) auto races.[3]

Remembering those who have given their lives in service of our country
