How many years here has summer really started in September or October? Sure. There have been hot days, with the first 'summer day' starting in March when it was still technically winter, but a hot day here or a couple there does not summer make. Now, though still technically summer; it is the end, and the hot weather is hitting us for two weeks solid if the forecast is correct.
Well, better than in June or July. At least the sun ain't out as much. Hot weather is much better during the shorter days, not that I like it any more.
Now I continue to wait. . .for a destination of speculation.
