Time Marches By

It was a different kind of day last Saturday. First of all, none of my humans came in to see me (or to work!). I missed being let out of my suite to run around the library. Then, about half way thru the day, there was a lot of noise outside. Pounding and tooting and a lot of humans yelling and having a good time. I could see some of the excitement from my spot on top of the file cabinet. At one time it looked like a flock of extra-large birds strutting down the street! The humans kept cheering and yelling. At the end there was a bunch of big trucks-some red, some yellow-green-that made a lot of noise. I was ready for a nap by then!! Later, after it had gotten dark outside, there was more noise! This time booms and pops. It sounded terrible!! I was glad to be safe in my 2-room suite. I don't understand what made the humans so happy. They made noise outside for a long time after the booms stopped. And, after awhile, there were colored lights outside, too! I'm glad that night is over and things are back to normal. Ah, normal, that means it's time for a nap!
