Summer’s almost gone
Saturday, August 9th, 2008First, for no better reason than that it tickles the hell out of me, from the eXiled comes this picture of a purse dog being carried by a former Russian paratrooper - the happiest-looking critter I’ve seen since this history-making cat:
I can haz vodka?
I love how the dog’s wearing the trademark striped VDV t-shirt as well as the beret.
Next, as I’ve said before, seasons in NM change pretty much the beginning of the month - in this case, Fall usually does so September 1st. If not before.
It’s also usual for the advent of the coming season to become obvious about two weeks before the month change. It’s very sensory: the length of the days, the quality of light, the feel and smell of the air.
The first harbinger of Autumn, though, is my birthday. Which happened last Sunday; I had a very nice day, thank you very much. (And a party tomorrow - email me if you’re in Burque and want to come!)
