It ain't over again




Sorry, I barely have enough time to Tick today because I'm on the road, but I just
had to Tock about summer roaring back. Yes, yesterday was nice, and this morning
did see some near-record lows. AND yes, today will be nice once again.







But as promised, summer roars back later this week under the influence (sounds
good right about now) of that death ridge/heat dome.



And it's killing any rain chances. Rain? Whadaya talking about "rain?" How about
some clouds??



So, regardless what any rodent, caterpillar, almanac, or anything else says...
prepare for 2 more weeks of August. I mean summer.
