The Dog Days of Summer 03 JULY through 11 AUGUST

Sirius, the "dog star" will soon be in the night skies, ushering in "the dog days of Summer" through mid-August. While I profess to hate "the 3 H's" (heat, haze, and humidity) associated with this part of the Summer, I'll take warm and muggy weather conditions over sleet, slush, and snow any time of the year! The smells of fresh mowed grass, barbeque grill smoke, and sun screen can be out done only by the sounds of carbonated malts escaping from an opened bottle, the splash of pool water, and the chirp of late night crickets.
