Well...

 We are having really fine weather, with sweater mornings and t-shirt days. And excellent evenings. All is calm. Only negatives are the lack of rainfall recently-- any significant rainfall-- and the mosquitos. The little buggers are still around and West Nile is still a hazard. 







And these conditions are expected to continue right into the early part of October. No change in sight! Maybe this winter we can be spared the single digit arctic blasts, and the bomb cyclones??

Another Norther!

 It is a cool and refreshing morning! This is a dry norther though. We had some rain earlier, but not enough. Maybe someday. 







Some DAY. SOME day.

Fall Unfolds

 It is going down quite nicely. Somewhat cloudy today. Moderate temps and breezy. 







October will be here soon.

Fall Has Arrived!

 Fall, best of all, is looking and feeling the way it should. Cool and rainy yesterday, sunny and cool today and very refreshing. The rest of September looks very good. October, of course, is my favorite month, and I'm always reminded of Ray Bradbury's excellent fiction. October has ALWAYS been my favorite month, as far back as I can remember. October is special. And July is the absolute pits. 







November and December have their charms as well.

A Nice Change!

 That system finally moved in and it rained a little overnight, more rain is in prospect, and the next few days will be on the cool side. The home team had a big home game yesterday. Odds are, somebody won.  In the big wide world War Rogers rides again. Somebody ought to kill that SOB. Odds are, either nobody will win or somebody will be delusional enough to proclaim that they won. Sad song. SOSO. A curse upon them all. But in another conflict, I certainly DO want one side to crush the other. Go Ukraine! Closer to home, I have not much to do today. I can really chill out with my current books, my guitars, and my chess books, to study  the great master games of the past. I love chess. I've got my Quote Acrostic puzzles, too. I really like doing those. 







I'm also taking a break from the weights this weekend. I really do think I sometimes overdo it. I still haven't accepted limitations due to age. But if I hurt myself that would be a big setback, and I don't want that!
