End Notes: August Crazies Arrive

My sister Janice and I have been tracking for years how crazy people, and things, seem to get the last week of August. Part of it might be a weird grief process as we bid farewell to summer, the season of light, in many ways. Grief of all kinds produces anxiety. it is always a dynamic process. So even those of us who love autumn best of all might feel some of this anxiety. And people seem to act out in weird ways, too/Becky Nappi, End Notes. More here.

Question: Do you act any crazier during this, the last week of August, as a result of summer giving way to autumn?
