Here in Lower Hudson-land, Sleepy Hollow has a street fair on Saturday so we'll prolly check that out, and there's a Native American harvest festival also in SH at the Phillipsburg Manor colonial-era manor house on Labor [sic] Day. On Sunday we might take the train up to Cold Spring and visit Boscobel, a federalist-era country house. We went to an evening Shakespeare performance there a couple of months ago and it's very beautiful up there.

Bugger all, hopefully, as it's the last day off I'll have until Thanksgiving. I'd hate to ruin it by doing stuff

Here in South Louisiana our holiday weekend is about to be blighted by a tropical depression/tropical storm/hurricane.

Absolutely nothing here. Dh has Monday off so maybe we can get some things fixed around here that have been waiting. The list keeps getting longer

I see you are now in Auburn. That must be nice to get out of the hot inland valley and much closer to Tahoe but your mileage on your car must have gone way up.

I think the area is hands down much better than the inland valley. You even get an occasional snowflake, are very close to good recreational areas, and the area is overall very nice. Wise move.

Sounds like a good festival, also I've learnt a new word which I plan to use on a regular basis in future..
