July 14 - Ready, Aim...


Returning


to


the


scene,


via


the


requisite


morning


and


afternoon


transits,


always a


pleasure, 


often a relaxation,


yet no rest as on we go,


composing page three of Sex and the Species, on the 123rd day of summer, with the high temperature only down two notches: 102 (73rd 80-or-more, 35th 90+, 6th to 100-or-beyond).
