Ty's Take
Labor Day Monday means the mail carrier stays home and a good chunk of Houston shuts down, which is fine, because most folks around here will be doing the same. The holiday falls different ways depending on who you are: for some it's a last breath of summer before school gets rolling hard, for others it's just another day to get after whatever work won't wait. Either way, the rhythm changes for a day. Meanwhile, state patrol picked up a wanted woman early Sunday out in the county, and firefighters were back out Saturday night near Licking dealing with another fire that had already burned once before. That's the kind of week where you're grateful for the people who don't get the day off, the ones keeping an eye on things while the rest of us are catching our breath.
