In the dog days of summer...warm and humid over past few weeks rather consistently with thunderstorms about the area most every day (only hitting here about one in five days). Still, plenty of rain lately and when it rains, it pours for hours. Deer fly season in full swing, makes it hard to walk around the neighborhood but should only last a few more days.

Today was a near perfect day, had a good night sleep and a good walk on the Acton/Groton bike trail. Spent most of afternoon reading on on internet. Looks like Sarah Palin will be getting in the race on or about September 3.

Despite the warm and humid weather, signs are there that the summer is drawing to an end. Noticeably darker in the morning and mostly dark by 8PM. Things are going to start ramping up over the next couple weeks as the fall season approaches.

Went to Foxwoods/Mohegan Sun last weekend for wife's birthday. Had a great time and did surprisingly well in the casino including a $1200 jackpot on a nickel machine!

Will try to hit the beach tomorrow.

Had a weird dream about driving my car into the water and then woke up to go to beach. Perfect day for beach, 100% sunshine, near 90 degrees. Got sunburn in spots where I missed sunscreen. This tired me out for rest of day, had no energy at all until I got enough liquids back in my system. Watched part 3 of "The Stand" at night and went right to bed. Started reading "1861" by Adam Goodheart - good book.

Perfect Beach Day today, temps in low 90s with low humidity. Despite 100% sunshine, hardly got burned at all despite spending hours in the sun with just one application sunscreen. Actually went in the water this time and did some swimming underwater. Didn't get off the beach until close to 3PM and wasn't even tired coming home. Took a walk and cooked up some barbeque and had a late night, reading and websurfing until almost 1AM.

Had strange dream this morning before waking up for the beach. I was in middle of Boston high up on a ledge about 10 stories off the ground and my only way down was a flimsy ladder that I had to crawl into because the top part of it was enclosed. When I tried to get into it, the entire ladder came off the ground some 10 stories below. It was great waking up from that dream as I was really in a jam.
