Normally at this time of year there are fewer and fewer visitors. The families with athletes will have to get home the next couple weeks for training, etc. returning to the real world. The weather this time of year is great and I feel it’s the best time year.

Will Rogers said it well,” I would love to see Mr. (Henry) Ford in there, really. I don’t know who started the idea that a president must be a politician instead of a businessman. A politician can’t run any other kind of business. So there is no reason why he can run the U.S. As the biggest single business in the world.”
Stay well. Be happy. Enjoy what we have.
Now more than ever, Go Patriotism.
