Since the store I work for is becoming a "Super" store I can pretty much expect to work every holiday from now on. Even though the construction is in progress and will take close to a year to complete we were already told we have to work on Thansgiving day this year and will be going to be open 24 hours (I think the day after Thanksgiving).
So I probably will be working on most holidays from now on.
Halloween even though its not truely a holiday is actually my favorite. I'm off for that for sure cause I'll be on vacation. I think I've only had to work on 1 halloween in over the last 15 years or longer. I know I'm weird. :-)
In some good news my nephew managed to fix my washing machine last night. Its still old and basically could break down anytime but for right now its working very well again. Yay! Pretty much all that was wrong with it is that the motor came loose and shifted out of place. He pushed the motor back where it belonged and tightened it up. So at least for now I saved about $250 cost of buying a brand new washer.
The washer being fixed was in itself enough to make for a good Tuesday. But I also enjoyed playing Paranormal(more like abnormal) investigator last night. There are lots and lots os stories about "crybaby bridges" and about 42 such bridges just here in Ohio. So a friend and I went to one last night close to midnight. We found the bridge and the haunted church next to the bridge. No we didn't see or hear any ghosts. But it spooky fun and the church looks haunted.
There is a better crybaby bridge that I'm going to go to closer to Halloween. I'll let you know when I do it and what I see or hear. If I survive.
No Holidays FOR YOU!!!!

T-day is jam packed with travelers, look on the bright side, no traffic for you. And Christmas/Hanukkah/New Years is also fraught with hurried hassled tipsy folks.
Your new motto: Off-season here I come!

I'll probably go to a haunted house and I always do a
horror movie marathon.
PCJ- You are right about holiday travel. Its best to be home on the holidays.

That site you posted Joan is one of the ones I had used in looking up the crybaby bridge. Its about the best one I saw too.
It also has some other very interesting places here in Ohio that are haunted. All pretty close to me.

The story is considered urban legend so I personally think there may have been something that happened at just one bridge many years ago. The story got twisted over the years and people used on the story on whatever bridge they happened to be passing by to scare their friends. I could be wrong though and its fun to investigate these things a bit.
