Summer ↓ Falls

Summer is, alas, already over, but the local cable access channel just played a reminder of it (recorded with some obviously defective equipment).  Our town has a local band that has started a summer outdoor concert.  My wife Carol played one of the flute players.  Here she is, in the best frame I could find …

Hopkinton is the starting line of the Boston Marathon, and headquarters of EMC2 Corporation.

Pratt’s Bats
