Lovely here--not too many really hot days (tho today is)--we've only
had our AC on twice all summer. But mostly sunny with rain every4 or 5
days, good for the corn y'know. Getting in lots of biking and boating.
12 is just soooooo nice. It's really how it should be, if we really
value teaching/education. Well, OK, even 15-18. I wish I could post
some of the creative work I'm getting here. You'd think it was cool.
