Pull up a chair and set a spell.</p> <p>I&rsquo;m writing this one from the porch with a glass of sweet tea sweating a ring on the table and a box fan doing its level best. It is hotter than a pepper sprout out there, like the song says. But August has always been my favorite kind of miserable. The whole world smells like cut grass and ripe tomatoes, and the cicadas are singing for their supper.</p>
