It's August, and there's precious little shade in Furnace Flats (which is "96 degrees in the shade";). I had forgotten that "Hot August Night" was the name of Neil Diamond's legendary concert, which used the opening line from "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show." How's August in your town/city/region? Out here, Hurricane and tropical storm remnants are leaving Hawai'i greener (and soggier) than expected. Locally, it gets hotter next month, as Autumn cool flits past before the winds of Winter. Oh well, green brush is preferable to weekly brush fires.;)
