Heat has a way of getting to people

Unusual things tend to happen as the end of August approaches. Things like alligator hunts in Alabama. Things like a bunch of Elvis impersonators and hot air balloons appearing annually in a small north Alabama town to commemorate a UFO sighting. Things like astronomers considering whether to start calling the moon a planet. Things like scientific inquiry into the possibility of hobbit bones. Things like widespread relief when one particular August day comes and goes with no rumored cataclysms coming to pass.

Sometimes it's best just to stay inside in the air conditioning.
