It looks like the Labor Day weekend will be cool and wet. I can dig it. It will be a very nice change. I spend more time outside, slathered with OFF, of course, for the mosquitoes are quite bad. I've gone to a VPN and I've enabled two factor authentication on all of my important accounts, including email/internet service. Too many bad actors out there. They should all be ripped to shreds by demons!

The photographs are offered as ARTISTIC EXPRESSION ONLY! They are not representative of anything other than themselves.

Continuing Moderation
I had occasion to be out rather early this morning, in traffic, and for the first time in many years I had to cope with the "morning rush". Ugh. Our temperatures continue to moderate. Coffee on the patio was a bit rushed but it would have been pleasant otherwise. Things get a bit hectic around here sometimes, but that's a consequence of a decision I made some years ago. It was a humane and caring decision and I don't regret it. Now I've taken care of business and I can relax for a while. For the rest of the day, if I want. Odds are, I'll pick up some weights later. I can't stress enough the need to exercise. There is nothing better for one's health, than regular exercise. It's the best habit one can have. I've been at it for close to forty years, now, and it's made a huge difference in my life. Bicycling, jogging, walking, weight training-- all of these. If you want to be healthy, you MUST exercise.
By the way, our cloud cover has increased each day.

A Cool Morning
We are out of the triple digits and our temperatures continue to moderate. It was pleasant on the patio this morning. It is still not as cool as I would like but we are getting there, and there is change in the air.
Not all change is bad.

Getting Better Every Day
The heat wave goes away. The last of August looks good and the early part of September looks even better.
We even got a brief shower last evening!

Over The Hump!
Now the temps moderate, finally, after that heat wave. It is very cloudy today. If these clouds persist, we might not be hot at all today. Relief at last!
