From the Thursday Threesome folks, I noticed their topic of the week:

August

Have you noticed that it's August? Has the time been flying for you this year? Or has it been dragging? Does December look like it will arrive tomorrow or sometime next year? We are 8 months into 2003 and we are curious - is everything still going as planned or did it vanish?

Plan? People plan years? They must have money. Mostly all us poor schlepps can do is keep head above water. As for noticing it's August, how could I help not? I walked outside this morning--it's six thirty, still pitch black, and already the air is warm and smothering. Take a deep breath and there is no air. Thank God for the A/C in the car to be able to breathe! The mosquitoes do a wardance around my head. Summer takes forever to go by. All the media does is show you joyful dancing people at the beach--never slogging morning after morning in smoggy air to glaringly lit workplaces. Bleak, bleak summer. Fall is 33 days away and it looks like forever--not to mention we'll have to tolerate that last gasp (and I do mean "gasp") of summer's clawing hold known as Indian summer before we get anywhere near reasonable temperatures.
