There is a light, I am told, at the end of the tunnel.

The tunnel, in this instance, is summer. The light is some cooler weather.

I can't believe it's already August. But, considering how quickly July went, I'm guessing that September -- and autumn -- will be here before I know it.

Alas, the rainy season has finally gotten into full swing, with thunder and lightning and warnings of penny-size hail and 60 mph winds.

I know: It could be worse.

It could be June.
