Happy Labor Day

The Weekend Eudemon
Ah, the crisping month. You can feel it in the air, especially in the mornings
and evenings. It's one of my favorite times of the year.

does an excellent job. Excerpt:

Meth Bust
> Federal, state, and local law enforcement authorities in North Georgia have
reported a record seizure of about 341 pounds of suspected crystal
methamphetamine at a residence in Gainesville, Ga.

The CNN Story
I assume everyone has heard this by now, but just in case (this story
[http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/08/30/060830154354.iu5zx114.html] is too
