Sorry, I was distracted because it's "Setting Day" here. It overshadows all.

FYI, Setting Day is the day before lobster season when fishermen put out all their traps. They can't haul them until tomorrow. They always need extra help on the first day so it can be a big community event. I haven't been out in years but it's both hard work and lots of fun. Beers open on the last trip back to the wharf (or perhaps earlier) and by 3:00 in the afternoon when everyone is back (and assuming nobody drowned,)it pretty much looks like this.

Annual singing of "The Lobster Song."
Warning: Language is definitely not suitable for work. Unless, of course, your job is a lobster fisherman.

So you can see Mark, why we had to take a day off here from your Birthday season.
