It is said that this week is the busiest of the summer and so far it’s working out to be true. I hope the weather holds out for the vacationers and that they all have a great time. Some complain because it’s so busy, some are happy to see the relatives, friends and others welcome the business. So, the bottom line is be careful when parking and specially watch when your walking. Some are still able to remember the big wind in 2015, not much evidence of it anymore trees have grown back and most of us don’t talk when we hear wind. Now the big wind is politics.

Here’s an important day to remember July 28 , I hope everybody remembered and celebrated “Parents Day”. We’re on the calendar for next year. The next day for some to remember, I hope more than not is August 4 which is “Friendship Day” it should be easy. Another day I was remiss in not reminding everyone was the 30th which was “ World Day Against Trafficking In Persons.” All days to remember somehow.
Will Rogers said “politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.”
