So Now It's September....

Where the heck did the summer go?

Although I am glad the frantic tourist season is over here at the beach.

But then again, it's been so quiet today in the store, since summer is basically "over", it's maddening.

Never happy I guess.

Right now, in our country, it appears that all hell is breaking loose....



Hurricane Harvey devastated Texas, then moved on to Louisiana and beyond. Montana has been burning up with wild fires for most of the summer. We have had lots of fires in Oregon, and then some idiot teenager threw smoke-bombs over the edge of a trail in the Columbia Gorge and it has now flared up to over 33,000 acres  - 5th day, only 5% contained - we are experiencing  smoke on the coast. And now, Hurricane Irma, the strongest Atlantic storm ever recorded at sustained winds of 185mph is heading toward the tip of Florida and may head up the east coast.
