Proof that summer is almost over...

First off my thoughts and prayers go out to the people in the gulf that are going through another hurricane. One of my buddies that I worked with at the TSA from the moblie screening force (during the federalization of our nations airports in 2002) is hunkered down at MSY airport in New Orleans until the storm is over. I wish him well. As they say in the military keep your powder dry.

I was just perusing my schedule and it appears that another summer is almost officially in the books as today is September 1st.
