Very amusing...but I love August! What is there not to love: hot steamy days (but not here in Utah, just hot), people off on vacation pretending to be having a good time while yelling at the kids, and everyone done with the heat they craved so much in February! Let's just switch those to months!

Haha! Yeah, I forgot to put in the happy family vacations -- when everybody looks morose.

Funny but so very true! How many times have I heard...if we can just get through August. Your usual brilliant thinking!

I always loved smoking and drinking, but this is the second summer that I quit smoking and become a reluctant teetotaler because of the dog days. I don't have the same capacity to surf over a hungover and my ticker is getting lazy each passing day. C'est la vie, mon ami! So, yes, we should travel to the Southern Hemisphere or the Nordic countries. But people die because of the heat waves and newspapers ignore that.
