Labor Day weekend (in the US)........and to many that means an extra day of "vacation". There are festivities going on in many cities and towns. Barbecues, camping, swimming, boating ect. And many of these activities will/do include alcohol. By Tues. morning the papers will be filled with the stats from police reports........DUI's, accidents, fights,..........and deaths.
This is the holiday that is often referred to as the "close" of summer activities, with children and other students returning to school, lakes closing their beaches, ect. Winter is just around the corner......ugh!
Law enforcement officials have doubled their manpower to curb offenses. They can only do so much. The remainder of responsibility "is on the shoulders" of the average citizen..........us.
WISHING EVERYONE A SAFE, SOBER, AND ENJOYABLE WEEKEND. Wanda
PS. Within a few short hours of each other, there were two boating accidents (drownings) on a lake in my area according to a tv report last night. This is, if recalled correctly, like the 4th in as many weeks and the 6th this summer!!!! The investigations of these latter were still in the very earliest stages therefore details/causes were not revealed. It is almost a sure bet what the REAL culprit was! Would gladly give up the winnings if that is wrong.
The Americans are comming across the Canadian border in droves....to get our 5 to 10 percent beer....and we are trying to hold them back with the biggest weapons we have..."Slingshots" It aint workin...
Im gettin outa Dodge for a couple days...and heading for the countryside, where its quiet...
You have a serene weekend...

Outta Dodge.....countryside......quiet? Hmmmm, must've found a spot that the underage drinkers have found yet. Lucky you!!!! Here in my area......the country is the very spot the young ones all "hide out"! And some of the parents even "allow and donate" their homes for use. Just love the weekends........ My road happens to be the "backdoor" that is used for getting to those "hotspots" to avoid the cops. (The parent thing is about to change, however. Gov. just signed into law that will be a "NO, NO" and there will be hefty fines.) Then there is Mon. morning......dodging the empties on the way to work. Tues. will be fun as the roadway I travel go through two small towns both having weekend festivities. As for me........I'm staying in Dodge with exception of traveling to do some grocery shopping......a short trip. Have found Dodge quiet serene in the confines of the 4 walls of my home. LOL Suppose if you put those 5 to 10 percenters in the slingshot, you could whack them up the side of the head and knock some sense into them? LOL Just a thought. You too have a great weekend.
