The Week Ends

Welcome, Friday. The weekend beckons.

It'll be a fine day for a bicycle ride, and there's the garden to be put to bed before the winter comes on. With Halloween approaching, there's pumpkins to be bought and carved, bird seed to lay in for the colder days to come.

Make sure the snow shovels are accessible, clean out and straighten up the mess that's become of the shed.

Anything at all, any task or chore, will be welcomed for the next three weeks. Anything that gets you away from electronic devices that blare political campaign ads on a continuous loop.

If I hear another mention of "Joe the Plumber" I'll go mad. Do I know any plumbers making more than $250,000 per year? Yes, I do. And carpenters and electricians and any other trade you'd care to mention.

Blue collar doesn't mean empty pockets. Is that such a revelation to the empty suits in Washington?
