Happy Labor Day!

Yeah, I know it's to honor the American labor union movement and the contributions it made adding to the strength and prosperity of the country.     Look . . . to me, Labor Day stands as the last day we can screw off before school starts.  I know that's a rather sophisticated viewpoint but is has served me well throughout my life.  

​While Labor Day provides a holiday for most of the country ,  "Hurricane Harvey" continues to hammer Houston and that whole southeast Texas area.  I don't think anyone knows how long it will take to get back to normal.  For some folks just being able to drive their car down a dry street would be a great improvement.  Check out SUCKS NEWS today.  There are a couple of videos that show some unexpected things that happened in the midst of the storm.  

Barb's Summer Vacation takes an interesting turn on the way to Door County.  Check it out on PICTURESQUE!  The Impalas kick off the Turntable with "Sorry I ran all the way home"  The flipSide this week covers songs from the early 60's.  . . . Be Safe!
