Ah, the first day of school... Not that it feels very much like autumn yet, but it is a cool and sunny morning. And Da Chimpz are all scrubbed and shorn and attired in their new school uniforms. And even a break for me, as Alane hung around a while later this morning to deliver them to the schoolhouse door herself.

Which means I have peace and quiet to get to work. Or to blog, as the case may be.

I understand there is a storm named Gustav that may ultimately make its way to Spumoni South. Bazzukajoe must be delighted: a hurricane named Gustav. Wasn't he offering a few years ago to create the name list for the weather service? He wanted to name some of them after cheeses. Grate idea.

Nyuck nyuck nyuck.
