Welcome to the third Friday of August!

Weird week in many ways. Had a bit of an adventure in the middle of the week during my drive down and back from visiting my mom. The weather has continued to be hot, though we didn’t break one record some meterologists thought we might this week.

It’s time for the Friday Five in which I bring you: one bonus category, the top five stories of the week and five stories about traitors and other deplorables.
