Good morning Wilderness! Welcome to the beginning of your 4-day work week, and the first day of school for many children around the state. Travel with caution this week folks, school buses will be out and about, kids will be crossing the streets at hours earlier than we have seen for the length of summer.
We are getting closer Wilderness. The start of the NHL regular season is creeping ever closer, and with that the NHL regular season coverage will shortly return. We also have the HW Fantasy Hockey League starting up. Refer to the post if that is the sort of thing that interests you.
It's the un-official end of summer, so get your fall coat on and put the flip-flops away, we walk ...
