Dog Days

It's the dog days of summer. It wasn't until the last few years that I found out dog days refers to the constellation Canis Major that's high in the sky during the Northern Hemisphere summer. I always thought it was about how dogs in the summer don't do anything but lie around and almost never move.

Just to prove it's dog days, today the forecast high in Austin is 99F. The forecast high in NYC is 101F. Hah! It's actually hotter up there than here, but when it's hot in The City it's worse than here.

By the way, I've worked here so damned long that I have underground parking. No hot steering wheel for me!
