MILLER TIME, TILLER TIME. Earlier this summer, my brother, sister, brother-in-law, and I made our farewells to the National Liquor Bar.

The summer drought was a consequence of a high pressure cell that prevented any kind of wind from blowing in these parts. Today, however, was different. Cool northwests in the 10-20 range made for a bit of Laser practice. Always good to start the school year (shed no tears for our early start: one of my classes will be finished by November's end, with exams finished very early in November [make that December, let's not do the Time Warp]) with a screaming reach in recent memory!
