After midnight

Over the Memorial Day weekend I had dinner in Media with my old schoolmate George, who lives in Boston but was down here visiting his folks. We had a great time catching up, talking and laughing, and I didn't leave for home til after 11:30, much later than my usual country hours. At about 12:15 Monday morning I reached the London Grove crossroads of Newark Road and Route 926 -- and I was amazed to find four cars at the intersection! I had to wait at the stop sign!
I assumed the motorists were party-goers on their way home, but my clever sister-in-law offered a much more creative explanation: perhaps they were early-birds on their way to downtown Kennett to stake out prime spots for the Memorial Day parade.
