Gripe Of The Week

It’s about this time of year.

Does it cool off here in September?No, it doesn’t.

You are just waiting for the first cold front to come through and you get that crisp air.

So I was thinking, “You know, August and September are not that different.

So maybe what we should just do is combine their names, because they feel the same.

So, I thought, Well, could we call it Augember?

No, that, that’s not so good.”
