Hot fun in the summertime

Them summer days
Those summer days
That's when I had
Most of my fun, back
Hi, hi, hi, hi there
Them summer days
Those summer days
I cloud nine when I want to
Out of school, yeah
County fair in the country sun
And everything is true
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Hot fun in the summertime

It’s no real surprise that I’ve always had mixed feelings about Memorial Day weekend. I grew up on Eastern Long Island, New York in a little town called Hampton Bays, which is on Shinnecock Bay and the North Atlantic Ocean. Hampton Bays, located midway between Southampton Village and Westhampton Beach Village, is where the cooks and waiters and workers for both villages lived, plus the fishermen and clammers who worked the local waters. Local wags called Hampton Bays a valley of humility between two towering peaks of ego and wealth; old money in Southampton, and new money in Westhampton. Memorial Day Weekend was the official kickoff to the summer season. Hampton Bays had about 5,000 residents from Labor Day to Memorial Day; but 50,000 from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Such is life in a resort community…

Sunday May 26th — Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!
So is the increase in population of Hampton Bay from 5K to 50K the result of the needs of the lizard people and there hangers on in South and West Hampton needing household staff for the summer, and local business needing waiters dishwashers? If so I guess it’s good that the staff has a place to live for the summer, in Vail during the ski season the staff for the lizard people have live in cars and old box cars because there is no housing for them.
