Hot Enough to Drive You Berserk?

Summer-like yesterday and today, though if it doesn't hit the mid-90s° F. for a week or so running, you can't really call it summer. That's the way it is in South Texas and the feeling lingers with me still.

Oops, I missed the finale of Lost, which I read was yesterday. In fact, I've missed the entire series. But of course I've heard about it: people stranded on a Pacific island; lots of unbelievable things happen to them. I think I absorbed all the entertainment I need along those lines by watching Gilligan's Island as a wee lad.

On Saturday, when it wasn't quite so hot, we went to the 20th annual Skokie Festival of Cultures. Yuriko, Lilly and Ann were participants.

I went to take pictures of the clothes. For example, here's the Assyrian contingent. It's hard to see, but they're carrying an Assyrian flag.

And the Swede.

A lot of people were taking pictures of that fellow. I hope he has more than one opportunity a year to wear his horns. We didn't stay around long enough for his berserker demonstration, unfortunately.
