A little weekend reading...
Compiled by Anthony Demangone
I don't know about your neck of the woods, but Summer has arrived and is calling the shots here in Arlington. Heat, humidity and sweat seems to be the forecast for the foreseeable future.
So, put on that sun screen, drink plenty of water, and enjoy the best of this week's reading pile.
