Well, it made The National last night. Our summer is not exactly burning up the place. Out East, they’re getting a real scorcher for the next week or two and if you look south to Texas, they’re dealing with a major drought.

I’m hoping our summer weather will smarten up a little by Aug 1 weekend. But even that looks iffy at this point.
