Yes, I reply, and they're all dead tired, too. I haven't taken many photos this summer. But at least the short, violent cloudbursts of summer have been warm enough to walk through, and when they end the air is fresh. That's changed in recent weeks, though. It's colder now, and the rains fall relentlessly.
People are weary of it.
The warm days are slipping away, and the new life that springs up after summer rains isn't there anymore. It had just started raining when Jared called at 2 this morning. Jared in front of building, Jared with girlfriend number one, number two. Jared's in town for the wedding of a mutual friend. Saturday he leaves to start graduate work at Tulane University in New Orleans.
