Good morning. On this Tuesday morning we are up to 54 degrees with gloomy, cloudy skies that are often seen in the fall months around here. It was dark enough that at 8 AM the porch light now controlled by a darkness activated switch had turned on. By the 9 o’clock hour the switch had turned off the light.

Today is the last day of summer. Summer ended before beginning, as that trippy lyric from the 1960s used to say. Fall is a nice season but at times it can be so depressing with the grey skies and cooler weather. On nice days, fall is the nicest time of the year. At least I prefer the icky weather on days when I have to work. The good news is today is pay day is today, as I need the money to pay the rent and the bills.
