It's Sunday, almost the end of summer, and it's time to consider the autumn that lies ahead. I'm all in favor of lazying about on a slow summer Sunday, so here are some thoughtful, longer reads, to linger over with a second cup of coffee.

Infidel753 sums up the importance of the 2020 Election, which will be like none other. This is required reading, people!

Balloon Juice notes that our Troll-in-Chief committed a major Operational Security Failure and also a Major Counterintelligence Breach. This is a very big deal.

Shower Cap sums up the week as only he can.

Bonus Track: Notes to Ponder alerts us to a rare northern lights display we might be able to see in the northern states of Washington, Idaho, Montana, Michigan, and Minnesota. We live in such an amazing world!

Our soundtrack for this post is from the amazing Mary Stallings. Thank you for letting me be part of your week and the long holiday weekend, too. Keep grilling! Until the next time!
