No Refusal Weekend
This weekend is a “no refusal weekend” for drivers. If you get pulled over suspected of drinking and driving, the fuzz can take you to get your blood tested. So please, if you’re 21 or older, drink a lot of delicious booze, but have a designated driver ready to haul your soggy bones home. It might be better if you choose someone who will listen to you prattle on about Kathryn and how she’ll never do better than you –– you know how you get when you drink.
Our Lakes Are Back
It might have sucked to endure a solid month of rain, but at least the lakes are full now. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are urging boaters to be careful. Bud Light Lime is urging you to hang a Roman candle out of your pants and fire it off into the night.
