56572 oscitates - lack of caffeine?

A yawn (synonyms chasma, oscitation from the Latin verb oscitare, to open the mouth wide[1]) is a reflex of deep inhalation and exhalation associated with being tired, with a need to sleep, or from lack of stimulation. Pandiculation is the term for the act of stretching and yawning. Yawning is a powerful non-verbal message with several possible meanings, depending on the circumstances. It is also claimed to help increase the state of alertness of a person. The exact causes of yawning are still unknown.

Yesterday morning a sign on the front door of Bridges. Bridges is history. This morning a sign on the door of Riverside Coffee. Effective immediately we will be open Wednesday through Saturday.

The songbirds have left. The maples are turning. Trevor is prepping the CMF and clearing the CMF parking lot for the three home football games this fall. 56572 is yawning. It's not even the autumn equinox and 56572 is thinking of hibernation.

Who is putting up a sign tomorrow? Thoughtful of you all not to do it all at the same time.

PS Rumors of the sale of Maple Beach Resort and Grill are seasonal and unfounded. That news would have been a bit much at this point. Remember that Phil observes holidays. After Sunday no burgers until May. Oscitate and suck it up.
