Who are these people?

Whenever I used to take a day off in the middle of the week I was always surprised by the number of people out and about, apparently not working or doing much of anything. Not all of them could be tourists. Not all of them could be retired. Not all of them could be night shift workers, students, ladies and men of leisure. How was it that the train was almost full at 1pm on a Wednesday? How was the ballpark so full last week when Cleo and I went to a Cubs game? Okay, so she should have been doing work and I should have been finishing my reading for that day, but were there really 38,000 people also playing hooky that day? I don’t have a problem with it, I must just have a problem with my imagination.
