This is the Memorial Day weekend here in the U.S., a somber reflection on the sacrifices of soldiers, and the more frivolous unofficial beginning of summer. I think I am going to *attempt* (note the emphasis) to follow up on an idea I have entertained for years, which is to have "summer hours" here by trying to post the second news roundup of the day earlier than normal on Fridays. Since "normal" can be quite late, this isn't saying much, but the idea is to actually shoot for "early," so we'll see how that goes.
