May 29 souvenir hunt

Okay this is getting crazy. I have no souvenirs. My trips are all starting at 6 am, no stores open except the get and go's. I don't even have a magnet.
When I was out on the Cape, I stopped at a little store and she had no trinkets. Said they just hadn't come in for the "
summah". But her and another customer started reminiscing about a Cape Cod summer tradition that on Memorial Day weekend kids starting their summer breaks would put on a bracelet made of fisherman's rope, and you would keep it on till Labor Day or it rotted off your wrist, which ever came first. Store clerk said one year her Dad snuck in while kids were sleeping and cut it off their wrists. What a fun tradition.
