A month since the last post, and we are into the Fall Season with a typical sunny and warm afternoon “Indian Summer” on the west coast. August was a nice little month, a bit of rain during the week when it was needed and enough that the creeks and ponds on my hike up Mt. Gardner yesterday had water still in them. That was the weather, now for the news/propaganda with an election coming up on October 14th, my 51st birthday.
