Whining???? Some of us with JOBS can't take off mid week (DUH! a guess
thats a useless whine?) and Saturday was a NICE DAY. How hard would it
have been to update the web site (MRCAs) saying 'were closed due to poor
weather'. Saturday was a nice, nice day. 70+ deg, sunny. Why would
there NOT be a swap meet?
Feel sorry for the vendors, but the weather report was quite clear...
Friday was gonna suck. Flood watches started Thursday night on all the
local t.v. channels.
