The weather today is not so much scattered showers as scattered puddles; they keep appearing when my back is turned. But it’s cool, sprinkly and cloudy.

I love this time of year. I hope all of you who visited my little town this summer had a good time; sun, sand and surf. Nobody got swept out to a watery death, as far as I know. Anyway, good memories, I hope. Come again next year. And in the mean time, stay out. We need our solitude and our bleak, scattered puddles, for recovery.
