Greetings!
At Home
You Just Never Know What You're Going To Find
August
We're keeping it simple this month.
Slimmed down.
Just the essentials.
August is upon us and it brings a reminder that summer is so fleeting. So, eat a tomato. Dunk a few toes in the ocean. Catch some lightning bugs in a jar or spend the night dreaming under the stars. Make some glorious memories. This is summer.

It's Not Too Late.
Are you hot? Sticky? Ready to install that new air conditioning?
Aiello's ready when you are.
We have great end of summer (well, August is nearly the end, right?) deals on quality AC systems from the top names including Goodman and Lennox.
Aiello can replace existing ducted systems, install new "cut-ins" where we install ducts without a huge interruption, and we can install single or two-headed split ductless units that can cool any room in your house.
Aiello also has a variety of financing programs to meet the needs of any homeowner including 0% financing for 5 years!
Don't suffer another night without AC.
Pick up the phone and say, "Hello, Aiello."
How can you get these great savings?

A Thought or Three on the Tomato.
Nothing says summer like a nice ripe juicy tomato.
Actually, sunstroke says summer better, but a nice tomato, well...
Did you know that botanically speaking (and that's how we speak here at Aiello) the tomato is a fruit. However the U.S. Supreme Court (insert joke here) has determined the tomato to be a vegetable. You could look that up. We did.
The scientific name lycopersicum means "wolf peach" and comes from German werewolf myths. Apparently deadly nightshade was used to summon werewolves (we prefer a basic two-octave whistle, but we digress) and since the tomato was similar but much larger the fruit was called "wolf peach" when it arrived in Europe. The Aztecs called the fruit Xi Tomatl meaning "plump thing with a navel." Or "the swelling fruit." (Our Aztec translator was installing an AC system today, so bear with us.)
The tomato is the state vegetable of New Jersey. No further comment necessary. Finally, within the European Union there are three locations that grow tomatoes with Protected Geographical Status: Pomodoro di Pachino (PGI) in Sicily; Pomodoro S Marzano dell'Argo Sarnese-Nocerino (PDO) in south Italy and Tomaten von der Insel Reichenau (PGI) from Reichenau Island, Germany.

Watch the Skies
Our friend John tells us that we should always watch the skies. Not necessarily for aliens. Rather, for a different way to see ourselves. Another, more glorious, reason is to catch the splendid meteor shower known as the Perseids.
They've been viewed for more than 2,000 years and are a stream of dust particles from the comet Swift-Tuttle. In order to really enjoy the display you need to find a really dark sky - away from the light pollution of the cities. The best time to view this meteor show is the few hours before dawn - so get up very early on August 13th - and enjoy the show.

A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken.

Who would go to NYC to see a movie? Outdoors? In Central Park? You, of course. And now you've got five nights to enjoy the Central Park Conservancy Film Festival.
Begun 10 years ago with Annie Hall, the Festival has grown since 2003: last year, 3,000 people turned out to watch El Cantante. Thanks to your support of the Conservancy, Central Park is now, more than ever, a source of recreation, relaxation, and entertainment for New Yorkers and visitors from around the world.
This year, the Central Park Conservancy Film Festival will feature cult classic films: movies whose unique ability to excite, inspire, and entertain gathered a "cult" following over time. Presented by Bloomberg since its inception, the festival will take place from August 21-25. All screenings begin at 8:00 pm, rain or shine, and gates open to the public at 6:30 pm. Films will be shown in the landscape north of Sheep Meadow, beside Le Pain Quotidien (mid-Park at 69th Street). Enter the Park at 72nd Street. The festival is free of charge. Bring a picnic!
Schedule: Tuesday August 21 - Do The Right Thing (starring Danny Aiello! ) Wednesday August 22 - Pee-wee's Big Adventure Thursday August 23 - The Big Lebowski Friday August 24 - Animal House Saturday August 25 - either: Coming to America or Clerks

On his way to second place in a bee-wearing contest in Hunan Province, a contestant disappears beneath a carpet of insects lured by a queen bee in a cage. A scale he was standing upon tallied his total take: about 50 pounds of bees. People were buzzing about this for a week!
