The Doggy Dog Days of Summer

Tue, Jul 21, 2020

To the Greeks and Romans, the “dog days” occurred around the day when Sirius appeared to rise just before the sun, in late July. They referred to these days as the hottest time of the year, a period that could bring fever, or even catastrophe.

Y’all, IT’S HOT. That’s all I got.
