“Thanks for a great season.” “See you in April.” “Closed Until Summer.”

Now that Chowderfest has come and gone, you may notice a good number of local surf shops and restaurants, boutiques and bars just put up a big “Closed for the Season” sign. Lots of the signs are handmade. Maybe we could make one for the U.S. government. I figure that for every week it goes on, I am not paying 1/52nd of my taxes.

I almost feel silly throwing my2 cents into this debate since everyone has already had a humorous crack at it.
