Some snotty readers object to me calling June 20th a “summer’s day.” To

them I say: Fiddlesticks! This gibberish about summer starting on June

21st, or whatever it is, reminds me of the pettifogging fools who wanted to

celebrate the millennium on January 1st, 2001. Technically correct, guys,

but factually booshwah. Pay attention, now: WINTER–Dec, Jan, Feb.

SPRING–Mar, Apr, May. SUMMER–June, July, Aug. FALL–Sept, Oct, Nov. In

the Northeastern USA, the coldest day of the year, statistically speaking,

is in mid-January, the hottest in mid-July.

The beaches open end of May,

close beginning of September. Freezy, sneezy, breezy, showery, flowery,

bowery, etc. Etc. etc. Who are these people–Druids?
