A belated return to the musings of a scribbler who considers himself an largely unreconstructed Capitalist, a Constitutional Textualist, and a largely unrepentant Stogie Smoking Curmudgeon. With luck, you'll find a bit of insight here, assembled from a logical and reasonable perspective, and served with a side of twisted humor.

Labor Day weekend is the traditional end of Summer Vacation, and as such the last recognized weekend of Tourist Season. For those of you who have not yet bagged your full quota of Tourists during this year's time frame, it is recommended that you make every effort to do so before the end of the day Monday, September 1, 2008.
Enforcement of these deadlines is expected to be extremely strict this year, and fines are expected to be heavy for those found in violation of the applicable statutes.
(Those still in need of the required tags will find them still available at the normal retail outlets.)
