EASY DOES IT

END OF SUMMER?

REALLY?

Where did it go?  And when did it leave? 

Years ago a commentator, I think it was

Harry Reasoner, said Labor Day is like

the first New Years day.  Summer

is over.  School starts again. It's time

to get serious and busy, before the holidays

start and we loose momentum until

the next New Years day, January 1.

So, enjoy these last couple of days

of "good old summer time" before 

it gets serious and busy again.

A personal confession here.

  The end of August means

the weather on the Central California Coast

should get even better and since I'm no longer

in school, nor expected in the office

everyday, the end of summer

is almost a non event.

Though we do have the local Pinedorado parade 

weekend party.

Comedian Lewis Black, in San Luis Obispo last week

said, "Those of you who live out here in Xanadu,

don't know what weather is." 

But we remember, those of us who

are from elsewhere. 

September is when you also 

start thinking about falling leaves and what follows- gray skies, cold rain, sleet, snow, ice storms, stuffy

offices, heavy coats, boots, shoveling, dangerous roads.

OK, enough already!  Enjoy these last few days of 

Summer.  

Be laid back. This really is Xanadu.
See you down the trail.
