August is here, and something not unlike Summer has come at last to Seattle. Huzzah! No one is suggesting that this glorious weather will last. Can't count on scorchin' temperatures in the high seventies every day of the week, people. But for now though, the flip-flops, the cargo-shorts, the general pale shirtlessness and or tanktops, to say nothing of the beery block-parties all over the city last night? Totally justified by the glorious sunshine.
Enjoy!
And for our canine companions, please remember, summer need not be just the usual routine of Frisbee in the park, stagnant, standing water, and panting boredom on the hot sidewalk while someone gets a single serving of green tea gelato that will not be shared. Oh no.
To get things started, this Saturday, the 6th, our own Usedbuyer2.0, Brad, will be reading a story from the great P. G. Wodehouse, and a classic reminiscence by the Scots essayist, physician, and lifelong friend to nearly all dogs, Dr. John Brown. Rab & His Friends -- that's old Rab is pictured above -- is a remarkable, heartbreaking tale of perfect loyalty, endurance and love. (Which explains, I think, the need for something from Wodehouse on the bill as well, for balance.)
Do please join us, and bring your human. We don't mind, so long as they're quiet and well behaved.
Sit. Stay.
