It’s fall break for Knox County Schools. Hopefully, most of us are able to carve out some extra time for the young ones in our lives that are so special to us. Maybe you can find time throughout the week for more entertainment, relaxation or even productivity and knock out some of those looming chores and projects. Regardless, I know I am not alone when I say I am very grateful for the reduced traffic while school is out.
