• President Biden arrived at his beach house in Delaware Monday, telling reporters he's not on vacation and explaining his house in Wilmington is being renovated. To his credit, Joe has spent forty percent of his tenure as president on vacation. So things are only sixty percent as bad as they could be.

• Joe Biden wandered offstage again during a Medal of Honor ceremony Tuesday. The same day, Senators Mitch McConnell and Dianne Feinstein faced health and age competency questions. Labor Day marks summer's end when it's time to throw out the old flip flops, but the elections aren't until next year.

• The National Football League kicks off the season tonight with the Super Bowl champs Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Detroit Lions on NBC. I just read that August was the first calendar month in six years that no NFL players were arrested. Kudos to their wives for being so well behaved last month.

• First Lady Jill Biden will likely cancel her international travel plans with her husband this week after it was reported she's tested positive for the coronavirus. It's pretty much just an aggravation anymore. But I'm sure she wanted to hit Joe over the head with a skillet when he told her to stay positive.

• Dr. Anthony Fauci came out of retirement and appeared on the cable news talk shows Sunday and expressed his alarm that Americans won't obey the mask rules and vaccine mandates during this Covid season. Just like I did last time, I'm acting on our government's advice. I bought Pfizer stock.

• Fox News says gas prices soared sixty cents a gallon this year to batter inflation-weary drivers. Gas station snack prices are insane too. I remember when I could go to the gas station with a quarter in my pocket, and come home with a coke and a candy bar, but today they've got cameras everywhere.

• Sports Illustrated called out the conceit of the Dallas Cowboys organization to bill themselves as America's Team when they last won a Super Bowl twenty-eight years ago under quarterback Troy Aikman in 1996. I'm like any other Dallas Cowboys fan today. After we win the Super Bowl, I turn off the Nintendo.

• Weather Channel says Tropical Storm Lee will run up the East Coast this week. It's the second time in history that Lee has stormed up from the South leaving a path of destruction. There won't be any statues erected to this Lee, but any Confederate statues still standing will be washed clean as new.

• The Burbank City Council prohibited the sale of metallic balloons because when they touch power lines they cause explosions and power outages. The drive to NBC Burbank always spooks me. You have to drive past Forest Lawn cemetery where my GPS blurts out that I've reached my final destination.
