Letter to the Editor:

The date on the calendar said September 7. But if you hadn’t looked at the calendar, but instead had been sitting on your deck or out golfing, you would probably have guessed that it was early August.
I went for my first real swim on Monday. We call the route the circuit because it has five legs each leg getting longer. If you were a swimmer, you might guess it to be about a 1000 meters, but I only went a third of the way. The water is finally warm enough to swim in.

How anyone can live in the big city is beyond me.
Thursday I drove my honey to the Twin Cities for a medical appointment there.
