you can definitely tell when there is a religious holiday in this town, especially a jewish one. about half as many passengers as is customary have been boarding the commuter bus lately, beginning with the onset of passover yesterday. the freeways seem less crowded, the streets leading away from downtown less populated with vehicles in the afternoon rush.
speaking of holidays, i just realized today is a significant holiday for a certain long-haired (or occasionally short, frat-boy-haired) population. satellites are picking up an unusually dense cloud of smoke above the university of colorado. supermarkets are running low on supplies of pringles and gummy worms. ditto for pharmacies re: eye drops. social conservatives everywhere are infuriated beyond belief.
