August is always a crazy month for us. We’re not entirely over festival season, but we are over the hump. It’s a time when we return to our desks and start grinding through the thousands of photos we’ve taken, work through the memories that are nearly coherent thoughts, and finally stop scratching at those mosquito bites we were told wouldn’t happen because somebody made some really amazing essential oils that could do everything from curing the common cold to ending student debt.
Here’s everything we’ve managed to write about in the meantime.
