The Big Aaaaaaah:
What a wicked fast summer. There was June and now it is Labor Day weekend. Labor Day used to end the beach going and crowded summer festivals as Kids went back to school and parents to 9 to 5’s. But now where there is water there will be tourists until the first snowflake falls and wallets are empty. Weathermen forecast and weathermen miss, but if you don't watch them, you’ll enjoy the bliss.

One of the problems with celebrities is that they are celebrities.
Every year my propane runs out during the middle of Labor Day grilling. You'd have thought I;d have learned by now.
I see reports showing that Fox News is beginning to criticize Trump. And also, conservative radio talkers arlover him for the Tariff mess, Real concservatives love free trade. Being painted a conservative doesn’t mean you are mean, it just means you believe in individualism and less government intrusion. And certainly in States Rights over giant federal bureaucracies.
Now it appears every Dem congressional hopeful is promising to Impeach DT again if elected. They should be able to offer us more than t retribution.
My wife just found out I replaced our bed with a trampoline; she hit the roof.
The opening of the Pat;s 2026/27 season is next Wednesday, Wednesday? The NFL wants to own the week, I think that is too much. A lot of it has to do with finding room for streaming channels who are rushing in with buckets of cash. We used to just wait for Sunday and were happy doing it.
BTW, I hear that groups of wives around the country are having “Good-Bye to Husbands parties as they attempt to disappear with a smile until after Super Bowl.
