Someone flipped a switch!
Mr. Hyde became Dr. Jekyll overnight, Labor Day Weekend the transformation takes place. All of sudden you can make left turns. The restaurants are closing up for the season. Many of the shops are closed.
It starts to tapper off around the second week in August as some colleges begin their new semester, the third week sees K-12 classes begin and then after Labor Day many of the adults have used up their vacation days. Those on H-2 Visa are heading home. A caravan of RVs with Florida license plates begin the migration south. There is a chill in the air and at night there is a smell of fire pits.
And a new phenomena is beginning. Those that can work from home are now spending the fall up here, the people in the cottage next door now are working from their cottage and have stopped renting out their cottage during the summer. I know of a couple who stays at the Cape in the summers and takes their RV down south to work from there over the winter.
There is a big collective sigh of relief as life gets back to normal as the hustle and bustle of the summer ends.
