Are you suffering …
… through “the dog days of summer”? No doubt August gets a bad rap. But dawg, it’s party time! At least
according to more than a few cities around the country that celebrate their dogs and party
too.
With or without a dog, you August folks are natural
partiers. When this month was renamed* in 8 BC for Augustus, who founded the
Roman Empire,
celebrations honored his amazing triumphs. Let there be wine!
I dare say, the outgoing Leo
can certainly turn the not-always-an-angel Virgo
on to some cool party tricks during these hot days.
As the life of the party – nightclub or beach – Leos wield the
Gladiolus stalk with
authority. Your birth month flower – also called “sword lily” – becomes a foil
raised above their head, while you’re lead in a bouncy Bunny Hop.
Never a dull moment. (Don’t forget the lampshade.) 
The bright green birthstone is a desert specialty in Arizona,
famous for its Peridot gem quality. A fresh breeze brushes your brow, as you’re
mesmerized by the depths of this cool, green gemstone, said to have magical
powers and healing properties.
OK, snap out of it – time to get on
with the month – and on with the party, August 39ers! Whatever you do to
celebrate the day and take your mind off the heat, stay safe and sane. (Well,
safe anyway …)
Myself, in August I tend to prefer
horses over dogs – see ya at the races …
Happy
UN-Birthday August 39ers,
