The four-day weekend begins

Heading home from work tonight showed that the four-day Labor Day weekend has begun.

It's a three-day weekend for us working stiffs, but it appears that most Chico State students have Friday off so they've stretched the festivities into another day. More power to them.

It's definitely interesting seeing how activity downtown shoots up when school starts. It almost seems to reach a fevered pitch during holiday weekends such as this. There was a definite uptick in people heading to and fro tonight.

I hope many people lay low until Sunday. That's when the weather is supposed to turn positively pleasant as temperatures are expected to plunge by nearly 20 degrees from the 100s to the high 80s.

When it's all said and done, I hope people have a safe and fun weekend.
