Thanks to everyone who is staying home for Labor Day Weekend.
Julie & I drove down from Carson Pass today, mid afternoon. The holiday migration is in full swing. We've learned that the new american dream is owning - or making payments on - a huge 3/4 or 1 ton diesel 4x4 pickup, crew cab long bed, jack it up high, add big tires, and tow a three axle trailer. Best part is drive it all like a sport car and pass in no passing zones.
Happy to have survived and we're happy at home. Our local Safeway has not been able to keep up with the demand from all the tourists this season. No milk, no orange juice for us. Beer trucks are lined up off loading as are Frito-Lay trucks. Two items we do not use.
We've determined that the majority of people are afraid of the outdoors and only feel comfortable bringing the city with them into the woods. And, kids have no character or backbone anymore because they've never slept on the ground.
