Summer 2010

Heat days arrive with cloudless skies. A sultry haze hangs evoking earthquake tales. Sticky twilight mauve moves another day, another month another year passing as sporadic fireworks explode weeks before the celebration of another date. Dog dead days bestir record keepers to pronounce and announce what few brain cells have already registered ... it is hotter than hot.

You paint a fine picture of the way it is here today, too. Thanks for your comments, Sue. My birth month is November and the day is the 26th. I'll give you hint about the year - it was the same as the UFO crash in Roswell, NM.
