Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
Looks like a good weather week. Unexpected in August.

Yeah, I clearly misread/misunderstood the 7-day forecast. Heat and humidity is back here, too.
