summertime

Here in Cookeville, TN, we had a high of 94 degrees on four different days during August (4, 5, 20, 21)  Our low temperature this month was 55.5 degrees on the 12th and 17th.  Our average daily temperature was almost 2 degrees BELOW normal. 

I spent the last couple of days with a cooler and cases of bottled water, roaming downtown and East Nashville looking for folks cooking to medium rare in the afternoon sweat-bath. While I haven't seen the "hot-helpers" I know they've been out because I've been told by my clients on the street that the only other place they've been able to find water is from the Mission folks.

Of all the times I stop at this place, I didn’t tonight.  Of all the times, who is sitting there waiting for me?  La Vergne Police, that’s who.

How cute is she . . . that Feist!

It's summertime, and while the weather is warm and ripe for a trip to the beach, we've still got work to do.

The Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants stops here this week, so send me your best posts. I'm looking for any good ideas, no matter the issue area.

This is summertime at the AtwoodZoo - a giant pile 'o flip-flops.
