It's the last weekend of August, which means we've only got so much time until the beaches shrivel up and air-conditioners turn into pumpkins, birds fly back to China where they lay eggs that will become dragons, and the sun spontaneously combusts above our heads. In keeping with summer weekend work tradition, there are heaps of cool changes hitting our public transit system over the next few days, but hell, walk anyway. The outdoors will only be kind to you for so long.
