Miscellaneous

By my definition, the dog days of summer are here. Some define the dog days as when the dog star, Sirius, makes its appearance. Me, I define the onset of the dog days as the first day I take a shower without touching the hot-water knob. The so-called cold water is lukewarm and, in this heat, provides a comfortable shower.

I was hoping that Bonnie would be a dud but would at least bring us some breezes, cloud cover, and rain. So far, she?s been a dud but has not delivered on the other items. Outside, the sun is shining, the air is still, and the temperature is about what you?d expect in July.
