Yesterday the oval Jiffy Lube sign spun on its aerial axis like a too-bright bean against the charcoal sky, a sky about to open up and release rain in biblical proportions.

Only yet August, the very first inklings of Fall arrive in small signs: a solitary vermillion birch leaf, drunken yellow jackets stumbling among fallen green apples, a slight odor of satiety, a feeling of having been too long in the sun.
