Depressing that we are in the final stretch of summer. The sun is setting earlier, the grass is browning out, kids are going back to school in a few weeks, and soon there will be a fall bite in the air. Wasn't a bad summer, temps were relatively mild, the lake thawed a couple weeks earlier than normal, and I've hit the water all but maybe one weekend since April. Hopefully the Vikings at least put a competitive product on the field, otherwise it is time for spielman to take a hike.
