Aug. 1st - 15th, 2013

Named by the Romans to honor their emperor Augustus, August represents the height of summer in the temperate zones of the northern hemisphere.  Although the longest days of the year have passed, the hottest days remain.  Strangely, it is the only month of the calendar year not to have a national U.S. holiday.  The Anglo-Saxons referred to August as "Weod monath" or "Weed month" because it is the period when plant growth is most active.  It also represents one of the busiest tourism months and a time when most workers enjoy a vacation.  Away or at home, remember to find a cool spot, spread out, and enjoy your daily crossword puzzles.  And, remember the archives to the right contain over 1000 additional entries for your puzzle pleasure.
