It starts with graduations, and weddings, and then you just hang on for dear life until September-October.

September is the new October,

[Granville had a 100 percent graduation rate for the 2003-2004 school year. Newark had 78.1, while all other county schools exceed 90 percent. The state's graduation rate is 85.9 percent.] We are by no stretch of the imagination happy with a 78 percent (graduation rate), ... The greatest single education issue we have to deal with is our drop-out rate.

We just blast some hot water into the culvert until it starts flowing again.

Fasten your seat belt -- peak hurricane season isn't until mid-September through mid-October, and we've had two hurricanes hit the Gulf Coast already.

In general, many people spend more time planning a graduation day or wedding day than planning their retirement. And that's only one day. People should spend time planning for their retirement.
