Court is back in session and John Roberts is right there with the other 8 justices. Of course Sandra Day O'Connor is still in the Supreme Justice chair and will be until a new one is confirmed.

The predictions of tropical storm Stan is that it will weaken; let's hope it does because frankly the people on the Gulf and in the south have probably had more than enough.

It's the first week of October and the dog days of summer are behind us. The smell of winter hangs in the air like the sick after a night of bingeing.

Enjoy your day,
