Monday night – dog days

People often speak of the dog days of summer i think were in the dog days of spring. It hit something like 85 degrees Fahrenheit here today… If it wasn’t a record, it must have been close .
Everyone was lazy and listless like mid summer… Ell, maybe not listless . Speaking as one who never needs it to go over 60 degrees, i never look forward to heat like this…. But somehow , todays weather was welcome. Maybe it was because the humidity was low… Or maybe because theres still snow visible on the mountains. Whatever it was, i have to admit that i really enjoyed the heat.I spent the whole day working the tower…being hypnotized by the sleepy sound of flies bouncing against the windows,,,so many flies, that had they not been hitting all windows equally, the house would surely have jumped one way or the other under the influence.. of all their tiny frustrated wings….. Even writing something like that makes me think of someone like Falkner or some other heat addled southern writer.

I think that Its too hot to think,
On that steamy note , i’ll say goodnight

Nite all, nite sam
