Friday Varia and Quick Hits

It’s a long weekend giving us an extra day to get some work done before we return to everyday life on Tuesday. Work a little extra to celebrate those whose labor gave us the chance to do more.

But also be sure the enjoy the start of college footballing season, Formula 1 at Monza, and the NASCARlers at the legendary “Lady in Black” (provided they can dodge the weather).
