Have you ever wondered why school's are going back earlier and earlier, every year? If so, take a look at this letter that I received back from Governor Riley. I posed the question in a letter to our Governor and he was kind enough to respond with the following advice:

If you want to take back your summer and see your kids going back to school at a more resonable date, then I kindly that you follow our Governor's advice to contact your local representatives. Thanks for listening to my rant.

Back from an awesome vacation in my own town, Gulf Shores, AL. Good weather, surf and company!

Headed out for vacation in the back yard, Gulf Shores, AL . . . will be incognito until 9/21. Ciao.

Happy Labor Day to all!

Tropical Depression Erika has dissipated & Gulf Shores' weekend forecast merely shows a chance of showers. Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Here's my favorite site to track storms and their projected paths: www.skeetobiteweather.com. Let's hope Erika stays away from land.
