It's easy to tell when people are getting tired of summer and want the fall bird seasons to open. They show signs of the heat going to their heads.
In case anyone sweltering elsewhere in the States might be interested, today's high in Portland will be in the mid-80s with a breeze (probably shifting to come from the 60-ish ocean, later in the day) and the lows the next couple nights will be in the mid-50s. The weatherman suggests it might even get down into the 40s in some of the more remote mountain valleys.
And people wonder why the sign at the state line says "Maine. The Way Life Should Be."
