My THPS 1+2 review should hit the site tomorrow, but Sam Chandler will be taking over Evening Reading tomorrow night. I will continue to work on Shacknews special projects like the upcoming website update and Mercury shipment fulfillment, but I am stepping away from the editorial team as of right now. I don't have any timetable for my return, and I appreciate your respect of my privacy as I give full attention to my ongoing health isssues. 

There you have it, Shacknews. Your Evening Reading for September 8, 2020. Please consider subscribing to Shacknews Mercury to support our site for as little as $1/month. Here is a photo of Lola to brighten your night.

What are you up to tonight? Let us know in the Shacknews Chatty comment thread below.
