Today seemed like a normal Thursday in August at the SPA. There were some long lines for the paramutual clerks. It looked like the people were younger than usual with more neophyte bettors, or else they would have used the self-serve machines that were mostly available. I was in the grandstand section today.
Speaking of which, they added 15 lounge boxes to "the Stretch" - the far end of the grandstand. I hadn't realized there was such a thing as "the Stretch" but apparently this area has been there for three years. Has anybody ever sat there?
I brought my vaccination ID but it looks like I won"t have to use it anywhere. Restaurants and supermarkets, etc., have signs urging masks for the unvaccinated but using the honors method.
