hot enough for ya? happy simcoe day weekend. aug 6 is half way through summer and approaching equinox.
was strawberry moon at solstice. we stare the star sol straight in the face as you take your journey south again. they say close only counts in horseshoes hand grenades lawn darts and atom bombs. the moment you are closest, though infinitesimal, gives immutable energy for a hundred days and nights. see you again soon hopefully.
