Insubstantial
I'm almost missing those endless days of heat in the 90s and no rain, brown grass crackling under my feet. The sky is gray, gray, gray, lately, nothing but a sickly pallor like the world itself just saw something horrible and all the blood has drained from its face. And I feel like I'm not getting enough oxygen, light-headed, like the air is too thin. All I do is I just keep drinking more water. Can't hurt.

Things aren't gray here but they are quite faded. I fear autumn will be brown and gray.

It's been like that for most of July and August over here, but this week the sun finally came out...

Things are still pretty bright here, and we had rain last night that obligingly went away before morning. Come on out on your next road trip!
(Is anyone going to replace that magnet picture?)
