This week I'm jumping the gun.
I wasn't planning to unveil the fall/early winter lineup for another couple of weeks, but the weather at the Last Homely Shack has been so splendid that I've been spending time out of doors, taking walks in the morning, chillin' with friends, and generally relaxing after work. This has been a week to rest, recharge, get plenty of sleep, and take it easy running down the road trying to loosen my load even though I don't have seven women on my mind, or seven men, or even seven cats.
It's another absolutely gorgeous day today, and even though tomorrow's weather promises to be stormy, I'm determined to enjoy these waning days of summer before the long, cold nights of a New England winter cast their shadow and up my heating bills. That's why I'm jumping the gun and giving you a taste of things to come over the next four months, with all the awful nice, putrid fresh, stunningly awful wonders that will be coming the way of everyone who wends their way to these diaries on Saturday night.
Come with me to the Casbah below the 0.5 Kos Kaiju and see....

Hayes Mint (a Latverian non-governmental corporation based in Microscope, Pennsylvania a real place I swear to God I've been there and you actually need a microscope to see what passes for the town center), etc.
