Yup, it's the long weekend and we're off to cottage country, traffic be damned. There's lots of corn on the cob, local fruit and dogs and burgers too, so come join us if you please. Otherwise, see you back in the same place Wednesday a.m. Enjoy these summer days and no complaints about the heat, please.
