It's Monday, It Must Be a Holiday

Today is, of course, President's Day, or Presidents' Day, depending on if you celebrate Washington's birthday, that being George Washington, or Nixon's designation that ALL Presidents' be celebrated today. Which is pretty interesting if you remember how his reign time in office turned out. Personally, I like the old way, when Washington and Lincoln were separately remembered, but no one asked me to weigh in.

Patron Saint of Culebra Trash

Being the patriot that I am, I know this means the Post Office and bank are closed and more people are around from the big island, being a three day weekend.

Apparently, it's also a big day for Sales!!! in Stores!!! Luckily, we don't have any of that here. Instead, there will be more people at the beach and out on the water, a perfect segue into what we did on Saturday, a big clean up day for Culebra.
Clean ups went on in a few places, namely the beach right off of the ferry dock, the clinic hillside, and the theater complex over by the airport. I chose the beach clean up, as did about a dozen others (truth is, I didn't even know some had gone to the clinic hillside, but I'd have stayed on the beach anyway). We filled lots of bags of plastic everything, including lots of styrofoam that, just so you know, happens to look a LOT like the coral all over that beach.  My scores were a bread carrier and the Patron Saint of Trash, pictured above. Alluring and creepy all at once, yes she is. Whereas trash is only creepy. So don't litter. See how easy that was?

Everyone getting hydrated along with picking up bags and gloves.

Got a love of Culebra, whether you live here full time or not? Then help keep her clean!

The beach crew (I know some of these folks also went to the hillside, if you have photos, send 'em over!)

Disclaimer: this is a fake photo. John and Barbara got there late, but they headed over to the theater to help, where work was still going on strong. Francie did work the beach. That's her bag of trash. Her third or fourth bag of trash.

After we left the beach we headed to Flamenco, to observe a different sort of cleaning up. But I'll post more on that later.

In the meantime, have a beautiful day, no matter which President you honor or how you honor them.

Have a mention the message Monday! Do something memorable.
