---Now that school is back in session I am hoping that the summer doldrumms that seem to have overwhelmed me (or at least slowed me down to a feeble pace) will give way to a period of renewed vigor. High in priority is the catching up on this weblog space.
---Not such a good start this morning, however, when I went down to the cellar to find I had left the dehumidifier basket slightly ajar, causing its auto-shutoff feature to malfunction. A goodly amount of overflow onto the floor made me to have to move quite a few boxes around, with not much around to be found. Fortunately I only put boxes of old magazines on the bottoms of stacks, so if they got wet it is no great catastrophe. Evenso, it looks like the magazines did not even get damp. Three bottom boxes soaked up a bit of moisture, but they will still be usable when they dry out, as they are doing now with certain alacrity on our back porch, where the sun is blistering again today. These are those boughten Store-Away boxes that stack well and provide good insulation for their contents.
