From National Beer Lover's Day to , 'Are you ready for some football?'

So I, along with our Country 104.3 Newscenter and John Murtha, are tracking Hurricane Irma, now a Cat 4 storm.
Thoughts and prayers are with my family members and yours in the Sunshine State of Florida as it gets set to take on the 150 mph winds.

On a much lighter note, yesterday was ‘National Beer Lover’s Day, of course, I had to raise a glass to honour all of us folks whom love their beer bevvies!

On to today, where I have learned that the weekend here, in the Soo, is going to be warm and sunny through Monday, so I hope you can be outdoors, enjoying the fantastic September weather.

On to what we celebrate today, with our American Neighbours, as Hank Jr sings it again…’Are you ready for some football.?’
