The long*, hot** days of summer are almost upon us here in Maine. Yay!
*Well, summer lasts about 3 months at best...but the days are longer. Early sunrise, late sunset. We'll take it.
**By 'hot' I'd have to grant that we consider >80F to be hot, and anything higher for more than a few hours to be extraordinary. Or at least until a few years ago we would have. Back in the day we had feet and yards of snow too. Now our snowfalls are trending lower and our summer temps higher. So, new normal with our weather just like our politics. Ouch.
