Now that September is upon us, remember:
1. The 2013 NFL season starts Thursday, September 5th. Get snacks & beer.
2. Air out woolens.
3. Buy leaf bags.
4. Don’t wear white shoes after September 2nd.
Persons wearing white shoes in the continental United States past that date are assumed to be illegal aliens from the Southern Hemisphere, and will be treated accordingly. You have been warned.
