The ice cream places are closing up. Yesterday, we had one of our last ice cream socials.
By all these lovely tokens September days are here, With summer's best of weather And autumn's best of cheer.

Yesterday (Sunday) we drove the Adirondacks and had lunch at the "Tail of the Pup". Next Sunday's goal:
Personally, I believe a rocking hammock, a good cigar, and a tall gin-and-tonic is the way to save the planet.

Reminiscing about our caravan to Bowling Green and Charlotte Motor speedway:
Auto racing is boring except when a car is going at least 172 miles per hour upside down.

Plenty of rain after two weeks of none:

We're starting to get a picture of the devastation in the South. Help any way you can. Remember: know who you send your money to.
Even if it is a little thing, do something for those who have need of help.

Started emptying the house:
My theory on housework is, if the item doesn't multiply, smell, catch fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one else cares. Why should you ?

A reminder about something that is in short supply:
Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.
