Who says:
It's Friday,
An anticipated fly day.
To put anguish behind,
To dream of freedom,
Of adventures you'll find.
To party and swing

Or walk hand in hand
With someone you love.
Yes, it is that end-of-week-day
When worries fade away.
Go on, make your day.

I guess it all boils down to an age-old precept, people need to follow.

I thought stores would be loaded with back-to-school stuff. But several I saw were loaded with Halloween items, a full three months away, When Americans commercialize something, they go all the way. A lot of things used to be much better when they were spontaneous.
With the war pushing up barrel prices analysts were pushing uptick stock prices for Exxon and Chevron this week. But only Cheveron came through with solid top and bottom reports. Exxon failed on the bottom line by a lot and got punished. The difference, Chevron renewed a focus on refining, and it turns out that the refiners were the place to be while the producers waned.

Hovering near the cut off are Keghan Bradley, Brian Harmon, Dennis McCarthy, Phil Rogers. Grillo is a little further above the line, so that putt he missed on 18 last week meant a lot. Jason Day is also hovering above the line but Jason's nagging and serious back problem is keeping him out this week. Will the former number one in the world be able to play next week.
