I looked up last night during the show and I saw a birds in a V formation, flying south. It seemed strange. “90 degrees at 9:30pm, birds are migrating in the summer heat?” And then I realized: despite being in the mid-90s every day here, some of the world has decided that it is fall. So this morning I put on an extra shirt to commemorate the occasion, and went to get my oil changed. I was sweating by the time they were done. So I took our dog down to Barking Springs (just below the Barton Springs pool) to celebrate fall, and the heat, and finally having a day off. Clean up, follow up, change the oil, go jump in the creek. Happy October y’all! If you’re interested, here are the public shows for this month:
