No word yet on the deal with the Shrub cousin. Holly reports no recollection of what might be the outstanding problem needing attention. She's going to e-mail, though, so stay tuned.

Meanwhile it's lovely weather here in A2. I noticed that fall doesn't start officially until three weeks from today, but the air up here's already got a touch of that joyful crispness. Recently there's been a debate in Michigan about whether to forbid schools to open for the year before Labor Day; the main argument brought forth is (what else) the economic one: tourism benefits from that last week of everybody's availability. In association with that point I heard some politicos referring to the fact that August has the best weather of the year in Michigan. Cracks me up! I gotta tell them Kansans about this news. In none of my previous dwelling locations has August been a pleasant weather month---in fact it's usually the worst, or close to it. Dog Days.

Worst place to've been last month: France. Am I right,

vachementmoi?

The last week of August in VT was just heavenly, as well. Definitely a fall feel in the air now.

And schools starting before Labor Day just isn't right, in my opinion. Summer's are short enough.

so yes, you're right. last month sucked. it's beautiful here now, except for that not knowing what to put on because it goes from chilly back to warm back to chilly again so quickly. i know, layers, but i can't seem to get the weights of my layers right. gah!
