Well, it's that time of year again. Labour Day weekend is upon us, which means that summer holidays are officially over. After working for a school district for the past number of years, I've come to regard this weekend, rather than the Autumn Equinox, as the end of summer and the beginning of fall. After all, there are several things to note the passing of this weekend. For starters, yesterday was the last day I'll get to wear casual clothes to work; starting on Tuesday, I'll have to go back to wearing shirts with collars, and tucking them in.

Speaking of Yellow Tuesday, (the day all the school busses return to the streets,) I -- and all you other drivers out there as well -- will have to remember that the school zones are back in effect, which for me means a lot of driving at 30km/h. And the cops are out to enforce it here too -- in fact, it's about the only time of year I see any speed traps on the road in the Cariboo at all.

So, despite the rain, I'm going to try to enjoy this weekend, my final weekend of summer, and steel myself for Yellow Tuesday and the start of another school year.
