hurricanes, back to school ads and thicker mugs

Eugene! You get in the window this instant!

(I don't know I just felt like writing that)

Eugene here, having rounded the corner, may turn our way for a moment.

The water has been a tad chilly this summer so that will probably suck the life out of poor Eugene.

The slow parade of tropical depressions are another indicator of late summer.

I saw, they have been going for a while but this one just registered on me, my very first BACK-TO-SCHOOL sale ad yesterday, the definitive indicator of the end of summer.  Nothing kills your summer buzz like a back to school sale. It drives a knife thru the very heart of summer and twists.

Oh and I used the winter mug for my tea this morning. It's thicker walls keep the tea warmer longer.

Yep, that's it, hurricanes, back to school ads and thicker mugs. Summer's over.

I have to get new booties.
