Ssssizzle . . .

August. At last. It's the final month of unbearable desert sun in a tropical setting. No dry climate here to shield the sensibilities and make believe that it is not so hot, after all. The sun volunteers to sear your hair several shades lighter and mandates, at least, polaroids to protect your old-age vision.

I will wish August away and hurry in September. It even sounds refreshing. And October? Remember? Sometimes the children have to wear pajamas under their Halloween costumes, outdoors, in the evening. I'm wishing for an October like that.

Oh, yes, at least cloud cover would be nice. The neighbors were very generous giving out candy to children wearing Halloween costumes with pajamas underneath.

They were so generous, in some cases, that the parents shared the bounty unbeknownst to the children. Ah, the olden days . . .
