About 3:30 this afternoon Youngest Son wandered in to the kitchen and asked what was for dinner. The dark skies made him think it was much later than the clock read. Cliff Mass explains the whole thing. "A scan of the last 15 years of rooftop June solar radiation data shows today (20 June 2010), just one day short of the summer solstice, to be the darkest June day over at least the past 15 years on campus." Did you catch that? THE DARKEST JUNE DAY EVER? I am having a hard time getting pumped up to do the happy summer solstice dance tomorrow. A couple of years ago we had a summer that lasted exactly three days. Please, oh please, do not repeat.
I wish I could send you some of mine. The heat index is meant to be well over 100 today and it's only June, with no end to the summer in sight.

It was a dreary weekend. Today looks to be more of the same, but I care less since I'm at work.

I think it's coming though - we've had three lovely days. So it should be headed your way, unless it's going directly east.
I remember that dreary summer.
