Where were the flowers?

Everyday, on my way home from work, there's someone on the corner of Georgia Ave and Norbeck Rd selling flowers.  Rain, snow, blizzard.  Nothing kept them away.  They were always there selling bouquets of roses.  So, I assumed they would be there on Monday, Valentine's Day.  I assumed they would take full advantage of all the procrastinators.

On Monday, at around 5pm, I pulled up to the corner, expecting one of them to approach with a bunch of flowers in their hand.  Nothing.  Nobody was there except a homeless guy with a sign.  No flowers.  Unbelievable.  Out of all the days.  Oh, well.  Sucks for the guys who thought they could buy flowers for their wife/girlfriend on their way home.
